LED panels are a key element of office lighting; they are also responsible for a good proportion of the office electricity bill. It is important to select a panel that delivers a good lumens output per watt. Anything over 85lm/W is excellent, and such a panel light would be a good choice for the open spaces in the office. Quality LED panels offer natural energy conservation, and don’t require much of a consideration. They also allow offices to significantly reduce carbon emissions through reduction in electricity consumption. Facilities management divisions therefore tend to buy these lights to contribute in saving the environment. LED Panels offer efficient, quality, and a balanced even light output.

LED Ceiling panels

While checking the quality and lumens/watt of LED panels is important, it is also good to consider other parameters in the office, such as glare, brightness, average luminance, luminance uniformity, vertical uniformity, power density and other indicators throughout the office premises. LED panels have attributes such as colour temperature, colour rendering index, brightness, rated life, voltage, beam angle, and input power. According to a comprehensive analysis or lumens per watt, about 50 – 80lm/W light efficiency is displayed by all optical LEDs. However, mainstream levels of 70 – 90lm / W have been able to meet the requirement of every level of luminance.

The design standards, lighting, maintenance factors, power density and other indicators show the value of mainstream panels of LED lighting in comparison to fluorescent lamps and tubes which they replace. These panels have an output equivalence of more than 100-watts of fluorescent tubes, thus, saving over 50% energy.

While testing light emitting efficiency of these LEDs, light failurex may be due to poor quality brightness index, colour temperature, and other lighting barriers. However, as technology matures and panels are more widely used, these problems gradually reduce. LED panels are the perfect solution for energy efficiency.. Focus on energy-saving lighting should be on a high priority while considering current projects.

Having beautiful home décor but poor lighting does not make for a pleasant ambience. Well selected lighting complements décor in every room in the home. Work with quality light sources to make your home look appealing. LED lights are the perfect solution. These lights come in various forms such as candles, golfs, coving, downlights, and panels for indoors, spotlights or floodlights for gardens or backyards, or bulkheads for garages or above the main door and backdoor outside. Your mood can also be uplifted with the right lighting. Novel Energy Lighting offers mood lighting for such purposes. Controllability is provided through the use of dimmable lights, or sensors to switch lighting on with movement or off with sunshine . Mood can be set with colour changing LED lighting, which can be programmed to slowly cycle through pre-set scenes. Philips offers coving with adjustable colour temperature, to go from warm whites to cool whites depending on mood. Explore our Philips eW Coving range, and TobeTouched controllers.

LED Lighting Decor

When light is used in the home, most of the time, it is used for constant illumination. This means energy consumption throughout the entire day. Electricity bills can become a concern. However, with the use of LED lightings in home décor, huge reductions in electricity bills are possible because they consume up to 90% less electricity than traditional lighting. LED lights also produce less heat than traditional lighting, and last much longer in comparison. Moreover, the light from  LED lamps is clear and sharp, whereas traditional decorative lights may not produce enough light and may need frequent replacement. LED lights can produce light for up to 50,000 hours (L70), and therefore do not require replacement for many years.

So, light up your home with LED lighting from Novel Energy Lighting, and save energy and money.

LUX Magazine reported that according to Ray Molony that the individuals who have the most influence on the direction of the industry are named below:

LUX Magazine

1.      Charles Swoboda

‘Chuck’ Swoboda, 46, is the visionary chief of Cree, the US Company which sees it as its mission to single-handedly drive LED adoption. He oversaw the introduction of pace-setting products including the first US$10 LED lamp, a 93 CRI lamp and $99 LED streetlight as well as a spectacularly ambitious consumer TV advertising campaign to change attitudes to LED.

2.      Ernest Moniz

Moniz is head of the US Department of Energy, which the industry has to thank for establishing the ground rules for measuring and testing LEDs. With the US lighting society IESNA, it developed and popularised LM79 and LM80 which have become the de facto global standards for the performance of LED kit and the life of LED sources respectively.

3.      Shuji Nakamura

Nakamura is the reason there’s a LED lighting market at all. While at Nichia Corporation in Japan in 1993, he invented the blue LED which in turn allowed white LED lighting. He is now the co-founder and chief technology officer at innovative US LED maker Soraa, whose gallium-on-gallium technology delivers high CRI, high efficiency lamps.

4.      Eric Rondolat

As CEO of market-leader Philips Lighting, Rondolat has a big job to do in migrating the company from traditional technology to LEDs. Whether it’s the company’s licensing programme for its intellectual property and patents, its acquisition plan or its product introductions, what Philips does affects the whole market, making Rondolat one of its key players.

5.      Jed Dorsheimer

The man who sank 1,000 business plans, Dorsheimer is the world’s leading analyst of lighting stocks and shares and the man publicly-listed firms need to impress. As the Boston-based head of equity research at investment bank Canaccord Genuity he is hugely influential – If Dorsheimer does not like your LED policy, he’ll mark your shares as a ‘sell’.

6.      Maryrose Sylvester

Maryrose Sylvester is CEO of GE Lighting, and is responsible for $3 billion of sales and some 13,000 employees. Unlike some GE appointments, Sylvester’s a lighting industry veteran; she has worked in GE Lighting for 14 years. If she can transfer the firm’s expertise in industrial internet into the lighting market, it could be a game-changer.

7.      Lee Kun-hee

Lee Kun-hee is the third son of Samsung founder Lee Byung-chull and one of the richest men in the world. As chairman of Samsung Electronics, he gets to decide when and how it enters the global lighting market. The company has made a tentative start, but lighting execs – having seen its takeover of the TV market – are deeply fearful of a full-on assault.

8.      Tony Fadell

If working with designer Jony Ive on the look of the Apple iPod (itself hugely influential in the design of luminaires) wasn’t enough, Tony Fadell has launched Nest Labs to commercialise sensor-driven, Wi-Fi-enabled technologies, which observers are citing are the Next Big Thing in lighting. Google agrees – it has just paid a staggering $3.2 billion for the firm.

9.      Adolfo Guzzini

Chief of Italian luminaire manufacturer iGuzzini and part of the Guzzini lighting dynasty, Adolfo has managed to maintain the company’s global reputation for leadership in design into the LED era. Recent successes include the Pixel Pro, the Lun-up and, best of all, the stellar Lux Award-winning Laser Blade downlight, which was designed in-house.

10.  Jürg Zumtobel

Son of founder Dr. Walter Zumtobel, Jürg has been in top positions at the eponymous group – the owner of prized brands Zumtobel, Tridonic and Thorn – for decades. He’s currently chairman of the supervisory board and last year won a boardroom battle which saw the departure of the CEO and CFO. Critics, however, say the firm is behind the pace on LEDs.

LUX Magazine reported five ways LED technology can attract customers into stores and boost sales.

Effective lighting has always been a key component of store design. Abercrombie & Fitch might have made its stores stand out by turning down the lights to create a nightclub vibe, but LED technology now gives retailers a wealth of opportunities to both boost sales and cut electricity bills.

Thanks to the unprecedented level of flexibility and control offered by LED lighting, retailers can use it to show off their products more attractively, tailor store ambience to the season and ensure customers look their best.

When planning a lighting scheme for a retail store, designers will be looking to strike a balance between creating depth and drama while ensuring lighting is still practical.

While it is true that LED lighting requires more upfront investment than older technologies, the hefty savings on energy consumption mean that this cost is soon recouped – even before factoring in any extra sales. LED lighting cuts down the electricity devoured by halogen lamps by at least a factor of five and because it needs far less frequent replacement will also save on future maintenance costs. Add what will become a far more pleasant working environment for retail staff to those green credentials, plus the potential for boosting sales, and the case for LED lighting is crystal clear. Here are five tips for lighting up retail sales while boosting those green credentials:

• Harness the directionality of LED lamps – LED chips are, by their nature, directional, and this can add stopping power to window displays. LED-based accent lighting brings out rich textures and adds depth to high-quality materials and surfaces.The flexibility of the technology means that colours and hues can be tailored to fashions or seasons. To avoid turning your all-important shop window into an expensive mirror, make sure to apply higher lighting levels to the display and to minimise the use of dark rear walls.

• Make customers look their best – The fitting room experience is absolutely critical to customers. Making the customer look their best is going to enhance the likelihood of a sale – so it’s out with harsh, blue-tinged fluorescent lamps and hot traditional spotlights, and in with adaptable LED lighting.Tailor that light for the potential purchase: use soft, warm, even red tones in the lingerie department but imitate bright daylight for shoppers looking to buy outdoor clothes or sportswear. Efficiency is another obvious advantage. Less heat from spotlights makes customers more comfortable in the store.

• Add sparkle to displays – You want to direct shoppers’ attention to high-quality products inside glass cabinets, or on racks and shelves. Exploit the flexibility offered by LED lighting to illuminate leather goods with warm white tones, but switch to a cooler white for suits or jeans. For cabinets containing jewellery, add sparkle by using multiple point sources of light from directional LED lamps.

• Bring out true colours – Some of the most vibrant colours in nature are to be found in fresh food. Bring out the true colours of natural produce with illumination provided by a lighting system with a high colour rendering index (CRI), particularly using lamps that deliver excellent R9 values for red.Verbatim’s VxRGB phosphor technology, which has been designed with retail applications in mind, uses a unique combination of red, green and blue phosphors to a violet, rather than a blue, LED chip, the colour perception of objects under VxRGB illumination appear more vibrant compared to conventional LED or halogen lamps which may have a higher CRI value. It makes whites whiter; it brings out natural skin tones and improves contrast. In particular, reds, pinks and violets appear more vivid and navy blues are especially vibrant and easy to discern from black.

•  Refrigerator lighting – The chilled and frozen foods aisle of the supermarket is where LED lighting can really come into its own. Not only does the lack of waste heat produced by the LED chips mean that less chilling is required compared to fluorescent lamps, but the physics behind LED chips means that they actually work more effectively – and last longer – in a cooler environment. LED lighting also produces no ultraviolet light and this fact means there is considerably less spoilage of fresh foods in comparison to fluorescent lighting.

LED lights are extremely energy efficient and low in power consumption, making them perfect for general or accent lighting. They are bright enough to light homes or offices. LED lamps come in a variety of shapes and bases such as GU10, MR16, or tubes, to mirror their conventional counterparts. They are made for simple and quick replacement of  existing incandescent, halogen or CFL bulbs. LED GU10 lamps are more efficient than halogen or CFL GU10 bulbs, and will fit most most standard downlight fittings. These lamps can be used in  a variety of fitting types including fixed, adjustable (gimble) or IP65 shower rated.

LED GU10 Lamps

LED GU10 Lamps are a great replacement for halogen bulbs, as they consume up to 90% less electricity, making them inexpensive to run, yet they produce the same light output.  They are a popular retrofit solution for many applications, including offices, bathrooms, kitchens, corridors, shops, and hotels. LED GU10s come in wattages to match the light outputs of standard halogen bulbs; 2W=20W, 4W=35W, 5.5W=50W, and 8W=65W+. These LED equivalents wont burn a hole in your pocket at the time of electricity bill payments. Prices are coming down all the time, which means that you can enjoy paybacks of less than 6 months with many LED GU10s, yet they will last over 10 years. This means you can continue to enjoy energy savings well into the future.

Novel Energy Lighting sells a wide range of such LED GU10s from Philips, Megaman, Heathfield, and others. These GU10s include dimmable and non-dimmable versions, and are equivalent to 35W and 50W halogen bulbs. We also sell a range of downlight fittings for these lamps.

Lighting can be both functional and aesthetic. The problem is that lighting is getting more and more expensive as electricity prices rise. Offices are generally lit using fluorescent tubes, and this lighting is switched on for many hours each day. Fluorescent tubes have a rated life of around 9,000hrs but often fail much earlier. This can cause real headaches for maintenance departments. Switch to LED tubes, which last much longer (>40,000hours) and consume >60% less electricity. LED tubes come in frosted or clear cover designs and are a simple retrofit for fluorescent tubes. With the use of LED technology, you can illuminate your office, shop or any commercial space.

Led Tubes

LED tubes are a safe and high quality alternative to traditional lighting. They are also instant on, and do not flicker, unlike fluorescent tubes. The lower energy consumption also means much less heat. LED tubes can be used as general lighting in production areas, offices, corridors, supermarkets and industrial settings. These tubes are durable and provide uniform illumination. As these lights are mercury-free, these are environmentally friendly products. They have a much lower carbon footprint because they consume less energy. Novel Energy Lighting sells quality LED tube brands such as Philips, Emprex, Heathfield and others, and can help you reduce your carbon footprint. LED Tube all in one fittings such as Coreline Waterproof, Coreline Batten, and Sylvania Slyproof are also available for simple IP65 retrofits.

There are plenty of options to choose when it comes to downlights. Iinstead of choosing poor quality lights from manufacturers without a strong reputation, go for branded high quality LED downlights. Quality lighting products offer reliability, durability and require little or no maintenance. Novel Energy Lighting has screened out the poor quality LED products, and only sells high calibre fit-and-forget LED downlights that are cost-efficient, long lasting, and deliver in terms of light output.

LED Downlights

LED dowlights are a great alternative to halogen or fluorescent lights. The technology used is extremely efficient in terms of energy, and can be relied upon to improve the performance of your existing lighting scheme. Moreover, lighting installation is made simple; they are designed to be a quick retrofit for existing fittings. Its just a matter of matching hole cut-out diameter and choosing the closest product. LED downlights are also available in dimmable format for controlling room ambience. Novel Energy Lighting also sells a range of quality LED dimmers that are compatible with these downlights.

Many downlights are fire rated, to ensure compliance with building regulations for new installations. During mounting of recessed downlights a hole is drilled into the ceiling. This hole may create a potential risk for fire to reach the above levels. Fire rated downlights are used to avoid spread of fire to other floors through these fixtures. Furthermore, the fact that LED downlights consume over 80% less energy, they don’t get as hot, which substantially reduces fire risk.

LED downlights can be used in domestic and office environments, and will typically deliver a return on investment of less than a year based on the dramatically lower energy consumption and maintenance requirements. Colour temperature can be selected to meet the needs of the setting. For example, offices will usually select a cooler white 3000K to 4000K, whilst homes may select a warmer light around 2700K. Novel Energy Lighting sells various LED recess downlights from 5.5W to 40W We also sell LED round panels, which are an ideal replacement for 1 x 18W to 2 x 26W CFl downlights.
