LED Downlights for a Desired Ambience
Comments off · Posted by admin in LED, LED downlights
Create an elegant ambience with LED Downlights, which do not consume much electricity. The overwhelming variety of lighting options available can make it difficult for you to choose the appropriate one. Halogen downlights are energy-consuming with added operational costs. However, LEDs are cost-effective and perfect for illuminating any space. LED Downlights come in several configurations: downlight fittings plus lamps (mains voltage LED GU10s or low voltage LED MR16s) or solid state ‘all-in-one’ downlights where the LED chip circuitry is built into the fixture.
LED downlights
Saving energy is the key feature of LED lighting. LED Downlights make the perfect replacement for 50W halogen bulbs and upwards. They can also be used to replace 2 x 18W or 2 x 26W CFL downlights. These products come with various additional features such as microwave or infra-red passive sensors (PIRs), photocells, dimmable drivers, and ratings for indoor, outdoor and shower or bathroom environments.
LED downlights use about 80% less electricity than halogens (which frequently fail). In large offices or hotels, energy savings from these downlights can make a big difference to your electricity bills. Downlights are perfect for decorative or functional requirements. These also create a soothing effect when dimmed.
Novel Energy Lighting offers fixed, tilt and shower fire rated recessed LED downlights, and solid state downlight panels. We supply downlights that complement the ambience of a home, office or commercial space like a shop, hotel, bar, or restaurant. These lights come with long warranties. They do not flicker, hum, dazzle, or emit harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Being mercury-and lead-free, these lights don’t harm the environment and do not require any special disposal.
These efficient lights can reduce your carbon footprint, helping you to meet mandated targets or carbon reduction commitments. With these lights your savings begin immediately.

Increasing LED light levels boosted pupils’ cortisol levels by the same amount as fluorescent light, and slightly faster, in a study conducted by Fagerhult’s lighting academy.
Measuring the hormone levels of students at a university in Sweden, researchers found that the students’ level of cortisol, the hormone that keeps us awake, increased in LED-lit environments with luminance levels of 100cd/m2. The work was based on a previous study from 2009, conducted with fluorescent T5 luminaires, which showed that the cortisol in students’ blood level increased when they were exposed to boosts of a high luminance in the morning and early afternoon.
Henrik Clausen, director of the Fagerhult Lighting Academy, said: ‘People started asking whether LED would have the same effect as T5, so we had to repeat our research. We did that at a school in Sweden where we found the same hormone release results.’ Clausen added, ‘Actually the pupils’ cortisol levels raised a little bit faster with LEDs than they did with fluorescent. It’s probably because there is an inherent peak of blue light in LEDs, but we don’t know that for sure.’
The research facility is now looking at students’ grades to see if the improved hormone levels result in better academic performance, but has not yet proven a correlation in the LED-lit classrooms. The 2009 study on increased fluorescent light levels showed an increase in performance by one grade on average in the dark part of the year, Clausen claimed.
Another study from 2007, also comparing differently lit classrooms, showed that colour temperature did not make a difference to the students’ hormone levels, whereas light intensity did.
Speaking at the International Lighting Fixture Design conference in London last week, Clausen cautioned not to apply the research results too widely: ‘If you want to do research you have to choose a path and we chose to focus on classroom lighting, so we don’t claim that this approach works for everything.’

Get rid of flickering fluorescent tubes and stop climbing ladders for dead ones by switching to LED Tubes. LED Tubes are now a commercially viable alternative to fluorescent tubes in terms of superior light output and a better lifespan.
Led Tubes
LED Tubes save over 60% energy compared to fluorescent tubes. Also these tubes offer a lifespan of about 50,000 hours (many years) of usage, without compromising on light output quality. Unlike fluorescent tubes, LED tubes produce less heat with less energy consumption.
Along with saving lots of money spent on electricity bills, LEDs do not require any special waste handling. Fluorescent tubes contain phosphor and mercury, which makes them a hazardous waste. Fluorescent tubes must be segregated from other waste and are subject to special recycling processes. LED tubes contain no toxic chemicals and are much kinder on the environment. Besides, their long lifespans means that they are disposed of much less frequently.
Novel Energy Lighting, a distributor of LEDs, has its niche in the LED lighting industry. We sell several top quality brands of LED Tubes at very competitive prices.

Will lighting provide the foundations for our connected future?
Comments off · Posted by admin in LED
LUX magazine reports:
09 JUNE 2014
Lighting technology could provide a basis on which to build data networks to power other technologies and services, speakers at the International Lighting Fixture Design conference said last week.
A wireless lighting network at Newark Airport in the US has shown how lighting can expand to embrace security and other services. The system can monitor the movement of people and vehicles and might, in the future, check travellers in for their flights and send them coffee coupons.
Hugh Martin of Sensity Systems, which is providing monitoring technology for the connected lighting system at Newark Airport, said that surveillance and security were the main attractions right now, but added: ‘There is a lot of things you can do with the information. You could make data available to users of smartphones, such as the number of parking spaces available in the parking lot.’
Sam Woodward of Havells Sylvania said that the prevalence of sensors, wiring and fittings means that lighting ‘owns the ceiling’ in many buildings, and has the opportunity to be at the heart of new connected systems encompassing other services and technologies.
Martin said that lighting could form the basis of a new ‘data-rich environment’ in the same way that previous communications system have piggybacked on existing infrastructure, such as the telegraph system, which was built on the railroad system. He added that new technologies such as control systems for car parks can be prohibitively expensive to install because there has to be a network installed for the service. ‘We manage all that for them,’ he said. ‘It’s a tremendous cost benefit for the developers.’
Martin said that the future of a connected network of lights holds many opportunities beyond facility management. ‘Over time we are going to move into a world where there are applications that have nothing to do with the person who generated the data,’ such as looking at data to find large-scale patterns.
Martin also suggested that new, connected technology will help lighting manufacturers change their focus from commodities to services: ‘Now a manufacturer can get in and offer light as a service, or they could offer other services such as security. It’s a way for manufacturers to move into services.’
But the expansion could happen both ways, he added, with the IT world moving in on the lighting industry: ‘A few years ago, CES was all about gadgets. Now it’s about software and connections. The same will happen to the lighting industry.’
