This presentation provides an overview of LED technology, including its components, advantages over traditional lighting, applications, potential cost savings from rebates, and case studies. Key points covered are that LEDs are more energy efficient light sources that last longer and have lower maintenance costs than traditional lighting like incandescents or fluorescents. The presentation also discusses common LED applications and replacements for various fixture types, and provides examples of potential cost savings from LED retrofits.

2. • LED = Light Emitting Diode
– Also known as Solid State Lighting (SSL)
• LEDs are semi-conductive materials
– Similar to the diodes in a computer chip
– Diode that just happens to produce light
• Components that make up an LED System or Luminaire
– Driver
– Control Circuitry
– Heat Sink
– LED Package or Module
– Actual LED Diode
• History
– Last 5 years price drop, variety, light output increase and color temp
WHAT IS AN LED

3. LED Advantages
• Operation Benefits
– The most energy efficient light source on the market
• More than 95% of the energy used by an incandescent lamp is lost
as waste heat.
• 50% to 70% wattage reduction
• Light levels maintained or increased with less wattage
– Longer Life
• 50,000 hours or more
– Lower Maintenance Costs
– Low Heat Output
• Reduces AC and refrigeration costs
– Elimination of Humming Ballasts
– Dimming, Daylighting and Occupancy Control

4. • Replacement options
– High Intensity Discharge (HID)
• High Pressure Sodium (HPS)
• Low Pressure Sodium
• Metal Halide
– Screw in lamps
• Incandescent
• Halogen
– Many new fixture types to fit your specific needs.
– Exit Signs
– 2x2 and 2x4 Troffers (lamps or fixtures)
Fixture Replacements

5. Wattage Comparison

6. LED APPLICATIONS
• High Run Hour Facilities
• Cold Storage
• Warehouse
• Exterior
– Even though run hours aren’t high materials and cost have been
reduced
• Office
– 2x2 and 2x4 troffers
• Case Lighting
– Reach in coolers and freezers
• Adding occupancy sensors or intelligent controls to LEDs
