Recent improvements in diode based lighting are producing a warmer light color as opposed to the blue white associated with early LED lamps. This now makes it possible for strip lighting users to slash the cost of linear strip retrofitting with LED replacement bulbs. When possible, it makes more sense to simply keep the existing lighting strip and to upgrade with LED bulbs. The replacement costs of new lamps are significantly less than the expenses involved with retrofitting entire strip lighting systems.
LED festoons are easy to install, provided that the existing linear strip operates on 12VAC or 24VAC current. LED replacement lamps use less power than incandescent and Xenon festoons, and they produce no harmful UV rays. With only trace signatures of heat, they have become a favorite for retailers that showcase sensitive items in merchandising display cases, as well as homeowners displaying collectibles in curio cabinets.
An LED replacement bulb will use only ten percent of the energy required by an incandescent bulb, and thus represents a significant decrease in power costs that quickly return the initial procurement investment. Companies seeking to obtain LEEDS certification can also lower their watts per square foot calculation by replacing incandescent and Xenon festoon lamps with these new LEDs.
These lamps snap easily into place and do not require a technician to install. LED replacement lamps offer a versatile and advantageous strip lighting upgrade product with a key design feature unique to the advanced engineering of the lamp. LED bulbs are generally DC powered light sources that require direct current drivers to operate on AC wiring systems. This often complicates what would otherwise be a simple upgrade. The additional equipment adds cost and presents design challenges with bulky equipment that is hard to conceal. However some manufacturers have designed LED replacement energy saving lamps to work on existing linear strips with standard magnetic AC transformers.
Exercise caution, however, when selecting replacement LED lamps. Many of the lower grade diodes used by some companies produce dimmer levels of light that sacrifice quality to achieve cost savings. Higher grade lamps should offer an output range of 42 lumens on the low end to 50 lumens on the high end. |
