LED Light Bulbs

Benefits of LED Lights

LED light bulbs can save you money not only because they are roughly 80 percent more energy efficient than other bulbs, they also produce far less heat than metal halides, CFLs, and incandescent light bulbs. Upgrading to LED lighting means you wont spend your summer months cooling down rooms that your light bulbs are busy heating up. While originally a cooler blue tone than incandescent bulbs, LEDs now come in daylight and warm white color temperatures so you can more easily replace your existing bulbs without altering the color of your room. Visit our Lighting Guide to see what difference color temperature makes. LED lighting also offers a superior color rendering index (CRI), so you can see the colors of your artwork or makeup more accurately.

LED replacement bulbs are durable and ecologically friendly. Did you know you can recycle LED bulbs and reduce your carbon footprint up to one third? LEDs outlast the competition, staying bright for up to 11 years of continuous operation. This means less time climbing ladders trying to replace those hard to reach bulbs in vaulted ceilings.

LEDs are one of todays most promising technologies.

LEDs or Fluorescents - Which is More Efficient?

LED light bulbs for the win! When it comes to purchasing energy-efficient lighting, LEDs surpass CFLs by a wide margin. LEDs are instant-start with no warmup time needed. They work well in cold weather, and are substantially more durable since manufactured out of plastic instead of glass. From standard bulbs to fluorescent tubes, LEDs can replicate the same lighting conditions found in fluorescents while lasting longer and using less energy. As an added bonus, all LEDs are RoHS compliant and do not use mercury, a claim that cant be made by fluorescent bulbs.

6-Inch IC-Rated LED Downlights

Suitable for direct contact with insulation, these IC-rated LED downlights can be used for new construction and remodeling projects in malls, airports, schools, and other similar locations. Some LED downlights have adjustable Lumen and wattage outputs. Simply select the output you want with the toggle switch on the back of the housing before installation. Keep in mind that once the downlight is installed, you will have to uninstall it in order to change the outputs. These lights are perfect for rental spaces where the needs to tenants may vary. For applications where colors need to be brighter and more vivid, install downlights with a high color rendering index (CRI) of 90 or more. Energy Star certified fixtures meet strict energy standards and may qualify for rebates and additional savings.

6-inch IC-rated LED downlights come in a variety of color temperatures. Measured in Kelvin, the color temperature describes the color of the light delivered by the fixture. Emitting a light similar to incandescents, use a 2700 Kelvin light to give spaces a cozy feel. For a more welcoming feel in places like reception areas and lobbies, look for IC-rated downlights producing a 3000 Kelvin light. Commonly used in offices and hospitals, 4000 Kelvin light helps to reduce eye strain. For work spaces where increased visibility and concentration is key, pick fixtures with a 5000 Kelvin light.

Additional Tips for Selecting the Right IC-Rated Downlight

Checking the safety ratings will ensure you are picking a 6-inch downlight that can withstand the conditions of the installation location. For humid or moisture rich locations like public restrooms, choose a damp location rated fixture. If the downlight will come into contact water, look for fixtures that are wet location rated. If you are planning on using a 6-inch IC rated LED downlight as part of a remodeling project, make sure to measure the existing opening on the ceiling so you know you have the correct size.
