Turtle Friendly Amber LED Lighting
|
|
 |
|
Our new DuraLED Amber series of specialized amber LED lighting was created for turtle friendly wildlife and security applications. The amber light will not attract turtle hatchlings, instead they are drawn back to the water by the moonlight's reflection. We offer a variety of luminaires for low-level, glare-controlled amber output with optional house side/glare shield for directional control.

DuraLED Amber fixtures available now!

Understanding the Complexities of Specifying LED Fixtures
|
|
|
Specifying
LED Luminaires today is a process that matches the disruptive nature of LED Technology in its complexity and increased level of knowledge. The days of HID "Bulb in a Box" products that were relatively easy to compare are gone. The Specifier needs to have a deeper understanding of the electrical and physical attributes of LEDs in order to provide the professional level of service that is commensurate with their project responsibilities.
|
Topics Covered:
- Effect of heat on LED Performance - How TM-21 is calculated
- Key LED Fixture specification features needed to create long life and improved lumen depreciation
- Light Loss Factor (LLF) - How to use L70 ratings for comparative calculated lighting levels for LED fixtures
There
are several indicators found in LED Luminaire specifications and observable physical fixture attributes that can be used to ascertain a reasonable light output performance and life rating, that will be explained in our presentation available for review here. The performance characteristics of LEDs and the effect of heat management, fixture construction, driver attributes, and environmental sealing will be discussed. Current methodologies for determining performance using the Energy Star TM-21 Calculator will be explored in detail and linked to the LED Luminaire specifications. The goal is to provide the Specifier with an understandable set of guidelines to select quality LED Luminaires that match project design criteria.

 Recently we teamed up with Graybar in Missouri to donate sports lighters for the local little league field. Robert Russell of Graybar was quoted as saying, "On behalf of myself and the rest of the board members of Webb City Little League and the Webb City community, we truly thank you for your generous donation!"

 NAED Update
|
|
|
The NAED Conferences allow us to meet with fellow industry veterans and stay up-to-date with the latest advances in the distribution market.
We recently attended the 2017 NAED National conference in Boston, MA and the 2017 NAED Women In Industry conference in Minneapolis, MN.
The Women in Industry conference also raises money for local organizations. The conference donated the funds to Girls Inc. of Jacksonville, FL again this year. Girls Inc. provides girls with the skills and knowledge to set goals, overcome obstacles, and improve academic performance. Our contribution, along with many others, allowed NAED to provide over $7,000 to the organization!
We're looking forward to the upcoming conferences this year.
