LED Panels – The Better Commercial Lighting Option
Comments off · Posted by admin in LED panels
If you work in an office, you have probably experienced working under flickering or failed fluorescent tubes. They buzz and vibrate as they fail, making for a very disturbed work environment. For building managers, fluorescent tubes are a nuisance because they don’t last long before failing, so you are constantly up on ladders replacing them, usually in difficult to access areas. It is important for your office or other commercial work space to be well lit, so that you can work with proficiency.
Make the switch to LED Panels, which deliver more durable and energy efficient lighting. They not only emit constant bright light, but also disperse the light across the entire room in which they are installed.
LED Panels are well-known for providing superior amount of brightness, as compared to the fluorescent tubes which they replace, and they come in sizes which make them the perfect retrofit for traditional tubes lights. Additionally, the light output is so superior, you often find that you can de-lamp in certain areas (by up to a factor of two), which helps you to save energy. In short, LED Panels are easy-to-install, energy efficient and also a cost effective lighting solution for all types of commercial areas.
Novel Energy Lighting offers you a host of different LED panels, available at affordable rates for any commercial application such as offices, libraries, conference rooms, etc. Our LED panels come in both round and square shapes to suit all of your lighting needs. One quality LED Panel available with us is the Thorn Omega LED Ceiling Panel which comes in the 600x600mm size which provides maximum light dispersion in any given area. It has an average lifespan of more than 50,000 hours, which will significantly reduce your maintenance costs, plus you get 50% more energy savings when compared to your standard fluorescent lights.
All LED ceiling panels come with specially designed diffuser to ensure that light output is consistent and uniform across the illuminated area, making for a very pleasing light. They are available in recess mount, surface mount, or suspension mount (with hanging kits) Novel Energy Lighting will provide you with panels at a competitive price, and warranties of up to 5 years.

LED Panels with Impressive Lifespan and Durability
Comments off · Posted by admin in LED, LED panels
LED Lights have many benefits, but one of their primary advantages is long lifespan. Compared to halogens, CFL’s and incandescent lighting, LEDs last more up to 50 times longer. With rated lifetimes of up to 50,000 hours, these LEDs can be fitted and forgotten about. LEDs are extremely durable and because they are semiconductor based, they are sturdy and can more readily withstand impacts and shocks than traditional lighting which have delicate filaments.
In addition to outstanding operational life time, LEDs come with other great benefits. With energy savings of up to 90%, LEDs downsize your lighting electricity bills by 90%, which is getting much more important as the price of power rises. Long operational life helps achieve even more energy efficiency especially on large scales like infrastructure projects, airports, railroads and shopping malls.
LED Panels have become a good alternative to grille lights and fluorescent tube grids in offices and commercial buildings. They consume lower power than fluorescent tubes, and offer great efficiency. LED panels are edgelit by strips of LEDs to ensure the panels are ultra-slim (<10mm height), with advanced diffusers to ensure that the light is distributed uniformly. These panels deliver really high quality, high brightness light, with colour rendering indices above 80. Often it is possible to de-lamp when installing LED panels. Novel Energy Lighting has found that 2pcs x 600x600mm LED panels can be installed to replace 3pcs x 600x600mm fluorescent grids, thus saving even further energy and reducing maintenance.
Novel Energy Lighting supplies LED Panels in different shapes and sizes to complement any space. Our smartly designed panels provide better quality of light. Our range of panels is cost-effective, safe and affordable to use in commercial properties.
Our panels illuminate the room immediately, spreading light efficiently. Square 600mm x 600mm panels are an ideal retrofit for fluorescent 2ft quad grids, 600mm x 1200mm rectangular panels can replace fluorescent 4ft quads, 1200mm x 300mm panels can replace fluorescent 4ft twins, and the Round LED Panels come in a variety of sizes to replace 18W and 26W PL-type CFL fittings.
Our wide range of LED panels includes Philips CoreLine, Luxspace, MEGE LED, Megaman Plateia, and Heathfield panels.
From a design perspective, LED light panels look organized and sophisticated, and can improve the appearance and feel of any environment. Our MEGE panels come with a 5 year warranty for total peace of mind.

Improve the quality of your lighting with LED Panels
Comments off · Posted by admin in LED panels
Do you feel that the lighting in your home or office area is dull on most occasions? Are you still facing this problem after you have changed the light bulbs and put in new ones? Then the problem is not with the light bulbs but with the dispersion of light. In many homes and offices, lighting is installed in the wrong locations in a room, thus restricting the dispersion of light to only one particular area, while other parts of the room receive less light. You can try and install more lighting in other areas of a room to increase the illumination, but this will only increase you energy bills and will not necessarily improve your lighting situation. In addition, the maintenance and replacement of these bulbs will further increase your expenditure.
A more sensible solution is to install LED Panels on the ceiling to increase the illumination. If you have a big office, then these panels will make sure that light reaches each and every part of the room. And since LED Light Panels give out the brightest quality of light, you may find that you can delamp (reduce the number of lighting fittings) whilst retaining the same desired light levels. The 600mmx600mm shape is most popular, and replaces standard 2ft T8 Fluorescent quad grid fittings. The LED version is brighter than a fluorescent quad, and ensures that light reaches every corner of the office or room. Additionally, LED Ceiling Panels are made using the latest lighting technology and thus last longer than other forms of lighting like halogen or fluorescent lamps. Even if kept on for around 6 hours or more, these light panels will not get overheated or use excess electricity.
The semiconductor technology used in the manufacture of these light panels means that electricity is used efficiently without wastage, thus giving you an energy savings of over 50%. The Philips Coreline LED Panel supplied by Novel Energy Lighting will give you high quality, high output light even if used constantly, for more than 50,000+ hours. Thus, these light panels are very ideal for corporate offices or exhibition centers with huge ceilings, which are on continuously and require lighting for longer time. And if your office already has standard tube fittings installed, then the process of installing LED Panels will be easy, as you can simply remove the existing fluorescent ones and fit LED Ceiling Panels instead. Ceiling panels come as standard as recess mount, but can also be surface mounted or suspension mounted to suit.
Novel Energy Lighting supplies a range of high quality LED panels from trusted manufacturers like Philips, Megaman, Heathfield, Thorn, and MEGE LED. Standard 600x600mm, 1200x600mm, and 1200x300mm panels are available in various colour temperatures from warm white to pure white. Most come with warranties of 3years to 5years. Dimmable drivers are also available for 0-10VDC dimming control. We also offer round ceiling panels to replace CFL downlights

LED Panels – Why Should You Choose These Lights?
Comments off · Posted by admin in LED, LED panels
LED panel lights use bright light emitting diodes as a light source, and they a perfect for applications in hotels, bars, elite restaurants, home décor, and sophisticated interior lighting. These panels are a simple retrofit for fluorescent lamps (PLC and PLL downlights) and tubes (grids, cat2 etc). The brightness is equivalent to or higher in luminance than traditional lighting., yet LED Panels are made to be flexible. They come in different shapes and sizes, designed to be a slot in replacement for older style fittings. For example the round panels come in 180mm, 240mm, and 300mm diameters, just right for replacing 2 x 18W, 26W CFL downlights. The light output from LED panels is high quality,and importantly, completely uniform across the diffuser. Moreover, less heat is emitted from this lighting because less energy is inputted into the fitting. These slim lighting products work at less than 50% of the power of fluorescent fittings.’
LED lighting products are known for their long rated lifespans, and LED panels are no exceptions. LED panela can light a space for up to 100,000 hours. A 12/24V panel of LEDs can work, for instance, 8 hours per day for over 27 years. Colour temperature can be selected to suit ambience or application. These lights are radiation free and produce no glare, so this lighting does not affect eyesight, which is important for office environments.
You may have noticed a buzz when a traditional light is switched on, due to ballast and switchgear. LED panels do not contain these components and are therefore silent operation These lights also have the ability to be controlled by a dimmer that can regulate light colour and temperature. These panels are mercury-free, and the semiconductor of these light instruments is recyclable and sustainable. Novel Energy Lighting sells these panels in a comprehensive range to deliver energy savings for clients.

Assessing the Quality of a LED Panel Light
Comments off · Posted by admin in LED, LED panels
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.
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.

The 10 Most Influential People in Lighting
Comments off · Posted by admin in LED, LED GLS, LED GU10, LED MR16 lamps, LED panels, Philips LED
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:
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.
Novel Energy Lighting applauds LUX Magazine for placing the spotlight on these people who have made it happen in the lighting business. As a supplier of such innovative and efficient LED lighting, Novel Energy Lighting also contributes in increasing the pace of LEDs in the industry. It sells LEDs products like panels, GU10 lamps, GLS bulbs, MR16 lamps, tubes, candle bulbs, compatible fixtures, and a lot more.
