Firefly LED lighting has a payback of as little as one month and typically 3 to 6 months. Your return on investment can be upwards of 1000%. Let us help you calculate your actual payback and return on investment.

We build LED lighting right here in the USA. This allows us to more closely control quality, supply chain, and create jobs in the USA. It is important to us to provide you with high quality, high value products. We have found that by building the product here in Austin, Texas, we are able to control quality much more closely and still provide a high-value product that will meet or exceed your needs.

Firefly LED lighting is a modular technology that allows you to change beam angle, color temperature, light output, and total intensity. This allows you to get the specific lighting your design requires. You are able to control beam angle from 120° down to 12°.  You are also able to shift colors around the native LED color temperature by up to 700° Kelvin.

If you like, you can change beam angle on the same lamp by simply snapping off one beam angle and exchanging it for different beam angle. This allows you to change beam angles with various uses and displays in your store or home.

Firefly LED Lighting provides seven different native LED white light colors by adding tinted lenses. You are able to shift the color to precisely match the look and feel you desire for your space.

Since Firefly LED Lighting is modular, when new technology comes out, you can simply swap your driver and light engine for newer, more current technology. Firefly LED products can be upgraded at reduced costs.

Firefly LED lighting matches the output of existing lighting, giving you the brightness and color you are already accustomed to in your environment. You want to either replicate or enhance your current lighting design, and Firefly LED lamps and fixtures support these goals.

Firefly LED lighting also fits into track lights, floor and table lamps, sconces, and outdoor lighting. So not only is the light appearance a fit, but the lamp itself fits your fixture.

Let us help determine your lighting needs. Just provide us with details on the lamps and fixtures you’re looking to replace, and we can support you in selecting Firefly LED lighting products specific for you and your needs.

Firefly LED Lighting founder and executives will be on-site during the tour to demonstrate the company’s cutting-edge lighting designs and products, giving attendees the opportunity to learn more about converting homes or businesses to energy-efficient, sustainable, American-made LED lighting via Firefly’s “Lamp a Month Club.” The self-guided driving tour of eight modern and mid-century homes throughout Silicon Valley will be held from 11:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Advance tickets are $30. Day-of-tour tickets will be available for $40.

On March 30th, Firefly will brief members of the media and industry partners on its LED technology, sustainability and ROI modeling, and plans to create American jobs. Contact Jason Stoddard with appointment requests.

According to Steve Barcik, CEO of Firefly LED Lighting, “We are delighted to participate in this inaugural home tour and welcome the opportunity to showcase many of our LED products. As people look for American-made solutions for their energy needs, Firefly LED lighting creates a great opportunity to customize interior and exterior spaces, reduce energy costs, and reduce carbon output while creating American jobs.”

Firefly LEDs will be showcased and demonstrated at multiple properties on the tour including 509 San Felicia Way | Los Altos | 94022.

Solid-State LED Street Lighting

The U.S. Department of Energy‘s Municipal Solid-State Street Lighting Consortium has released an economic cost-benefit analysis tool to help cities, utilities, and other organizations estimate the costs and impacts of switching to street lighting that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

The Excel-based Retrofit Financial Analysis Tool was developed in collaboration with the Clinton Climate Initiative. Users input data on the relevant variables for their particular application – such as the incumbent technology, quantities, phase-in period, prevailing electricity and labor rates, sales tax, installation cost, loan interest rate, and rebates – to get a detailed analysis that includes annualized energy-cost savings, maintenance savings, greenhouse gas reductions, and simple payback.

This information is useful not only for planning and budgeting purposes, but also in applying for financing. In a market where the cost of LED street lighting has dropped more than 25 percent in the past year alone, it can help cities accurately evaluate costs in today’s dollars.

Harkrider House, 2011 Peach Tree Austin, Texas 78704

Firefly LED Lighting is excited to participate in the 2012 Modern Home Tour, Austin this Saturday, February 4th.

Firefly will showcase a full-residential retrofit application of our best-of-market, custom LED lighting solution at the Harkrider House, 1 of 16 modern designs featured on the tour. Additionally, Firefly LED Lighting will begin marketing its lighting solutions directly to consumers by way of a newly minted relationship with TreeHouse™, the smart building, better living home improvement store and sponsor of the Modern Home Tour.

Be on the lookout for Team Firefly on the tour. The Firefly Team will be on hand at both  the Harkrider House and  the Specht Harpman House showcasing Firefly’s lighting installation  and to answer questions and survey tour attendees.

Steve will be out and about and intends visit every design on the tour:

“Residential, commercial and institutional lighting is the biggest opportunity to customize an interior experience, reduce carbon footprint, save money and create jobs. In the case of Firefly LED Lighting we’ve created products that will last 20 years or more. Our LED products’ modular retrofit design have varying lens and color temperatures; experiencing the architects’ designs and the space, first hand, gets our wheels turning to create new plug-and-play applications without having to develop new technology from scratch. Saturday is a real collaboration. It’s high time we get the message out and put a dent in the universe.”

Don’t hesitate to say hello.

Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door and will get you into not only the 16 properties on the tour but also access to the Modern Home Tour After Party and Architect Panel at TreeHouse from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Firefly Lighting has announced the recent installation of its PAR 20 LED lamps in Austin Energy’s headquarters. Firefly is a recent graduate of the Austin Technology Incubator and is a recipient of funding from the Texas Emerging Technology Fund.
Since the company’s inception just over two years ago, Firefly LED …

Michael Villarreal of Austin Energy’s Facilities Management team installed 24 of Firefly’s PAR 20 lamps in the lobbies and elevator on the first floor of Austin Energy’s headquarters located at 721 Barton Springs Road, Austin, TX. The installation of these lamps will show how LED lighting systems use up to 90% less electricity than standard lighting products.

Energy industry regulators in the United States and worldwide are phasing out incandescent and fluorescent lighting in favor of LED (light-emitting diode) technology to save energy costs and lessen environmental impact. Firefly LED Lighting products are more energy efficient and longer lasting than conventional lighting, lowering consumer costs by over 80 percent for energy and 96 percent for maintenance and increasing ROI with a quick payback.

Firefly LED Lighting products provide a 32 percent reduction in temperature, 48 percent increase in thermal conductivity, an up to 223 percent increase in surface area, and up to 40K hours of light output, along with added light and motion sensors and controls.

The most cost effective and energy efficient lighting on the market, the benefits of Firefly LEDs are:

High Efficiency
Long Lamp Life
Low Power Consumption
Low Maintenance and Lamp Replacement
Reduced Carbon Footprint
Low Heat Generation
Environmentally Safe

Firefly LED Lighting continues to work to get its LED lighting into more locations, get its products commercial ready and widely available, especially in a city so environmentally conscious and supportive of a local innovator. The company is always available to talk with media and to arrange tests or demos of its products.
