What are LEDs? Light-emitting diode (LED) lighting is an exciting, rapidly evolving technology that produces light in a whole new way. LEDs are small light sources that become illuminated by the movement of electrons through a semiconductor material, more akin to computer chips than to light bulbs. The heat from an LED is conducted through the back of the fixture, rather than radiated in all directions as with other light sources. The proper dissipation of this heat is key to effective LED performance. The LED is the only light source that is inherently directional and does not require a reflector to direct light, offering increased energy savings in directional applications. In select directional applications, LEDs can offer energy savings of more than 50% versus fluorescent or HID, and more than 75% savings versus incandescent lighting. Not all LED lighting is created equal. While LEDs are already beginning to surpass the quality and efficiency of existing lighting technologies, such as incandescent and some fluorescent, LED performance varies widely. Testing by the U.S. Department of Energy has shown wide variability in performance of LED products, with some products not meeting the ratings listed by the manufacturer. Only well-designed LED products using the latest in LED technology, and applied in the right applications, will provide the energy, lighting quality, and long-life benefits of LEDs. Look for the ENERGY STAR label, awarded to select LED fixture types that meet strict efficiency, quality, and lifetime criteria. 1 2 Recessed & Surface/Pendant-Mounted Downlight Fixtures Install a new ENERGY STAR qualified LED recessed or surface/ pendant-mounted downlight fixture. $50 Rebate Minimum luminaire efficacy of 35 lumens per watt.
