LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. LED lighting products produce light approximately 90% more efficiently than incandescent light bulbs. How does LED work? An electrical current passes through a microchip, which illuminates the tiny light sources we call LEDs and the result is visible light.
Do LED lights really save money?
If you run a single incandescent bulb 5 hours a day for two years, it will cost you around $32 (depending on your energy rates). Most of that money is spent on electricity. If you run a single LED bulb 5 hours a day for two years, it will cost you only $12. Multiply that by the bulbs you have in your home. You can see that by using LED lighting, you will save quite a bit on your energy bills over time!

How LEDs Are Different:
LED lighting is very different from other lighting sources such as incandescent bulbs and CFLs. Key differences include the following:
LED lighting is currently available in a wide variety of home and commercial products, and the list is growing every year. Below are some of the most common types of LED uses.
LED lighting is very different from other lighting sources such as incandescent bulbs and CFLs. Key differences include the following:
- Light Source: LEDs are the size of a fleck of pepper, and a mix of red, green, and blue LEDs is typically used to make white light.
- Direction: LEDs emit light in a specific direction, reducing the need for reflectors and diffusers that can trap light. This feature makes LEDs more efficient for many uses such as recessed down-lights and task lighting. With other types of lighting, the light must be reflected to the desired direction and more than half of the light may never leave the fixture.
- Heat: LEDs emit very little heat. In comparison, incandescent bulbs release 90% of their energy as heat, and CFLs release about 80% of their energy as heat.

LED Office Lighting
Industrial and Commercial Lighting
The high efficiency and directional nature of LEDs make them ideal for many industrial and commercial uses. LEDs are increasingly common in parking garage lighting, indoor walkways and stairways, entertainment patio areas where outdoor-lighting can be recessed into overhead canopies, and for task lighting throughout your commercial establishment.

LED Lighting for Your Home: Cove Lighting, Kitchen Under-Counter Lighting, & More
LEDs are a beautiful accent to cove ceilings in kitchens, as well as, in living rooms, dining rooms, bathrooms, and bedrooms. The image above is an example of LED cove lighting. LED lighting lends itself to providing a subtle and beautiful addition to any room's atmosphere making rooms warm and inviting.
Because LEDs are small and directional, they are ideal for lighting counter-tops for cooking and reading recipes. It is important to consider the purpose of your lighting to find the best design for your space. We can help you to choose the most optimal lighting for your particular needs.

Recessed Down-lights:
Recessed down-lights are commonly used in residential kitchens, hallways, and bathrooms, living rooms, and in a number of office and commercial settings. Both CFL and LED technology can decrease down-light wattage by 75% or more!
