Comparing LEDs and Incandescent Bulbs: Opposite Ends of the Lighting Spectrum (Article)

Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:13:23 CST

The process by which LEDs produce light is called electroluminescence, and it is far more efficient than the process of resistance used in incandescent lamps. Very little energy is wasted as heat in an LED, and more of the electrical energy converted to light. This allows LEDs to produce the same amount of light as an incandescent while using only a fraction as much electrical energy.

Delivered Lumens versus Total Lumen Output: LEDs and Traditional Lighting Comparisons (Article)

Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:50:22 CST

For most forms of traditional lighting, since the light is radiated in all directions, we usually need to include reflectors, lenses and diffusers in order to direct as much of the light as possible towards where it is needed. The result of this is called delivered light, and it is a more effective measure of how well a lamp performs than simply taking into account total lumen production. For instance, if we take a simple 100 watt incandescent bulb producing 1500 lumens and put it into a simple

Total Lamp Lumens versus Total Fixture Lumens and Why LEDs are More Effective (Article)

Sat, 4 Feb 2012 20:16:39 CST

The solid state design of the LED is such that light energy is radiated over a limited portion of its surface. Rather than emitting light in 360 degrees, the degree of light radiation is limited by the shape of the LEDs radiating surface. For example, an LED is basically a flat square chip of semi-conducting material, and light energy only radiates from the upper surface of this square. No light radiates from the back or sides of the LED chip, and so the pattern of light radiation is limited to
