Smart Power Energy Concious Electrical Solutions

	LED Lighting design and LED Lighting Installation have become the biggest growth area for Smart Power. With a number of LED projects completed and trial projects now underway at multiple facilities, Smart Power is positioned to be the ideal resource for facilities wishing to take advantage of the energy savings and low maintenance features of these lights. FAQ's How much energy does LED save? Led lighting can produce light in most cases for almost half of the power of efficient florescent. There are many considerations and limitations that make a LED solution more costly, but there are ideal applications. What about the color ? There are a number of problems with the color of LED lighting, getting consistency between lamps has been a challenge, but there are many new fixtures available that have concurred this through the use of special optics. This technology is improving daily. How do I select a fixture ? Here is the hard part, the market is flooded with expensive and low cost products, some which work and others which don’t, finding the right fixture for a particular function is the job of a lighting designer, and yes we have one on staff. Smart Power has even designed fixtures and had them fabricated to meet clients needs and budgets. How long do LED Lights last? Reliability has been the key selling feature of these type of lights with claims of 50,000 hours being thrown around by many. However this is the lamp life, there are other components in the system most notably the driver (power supply) which in many less expensive products has a much shorter life. Poor Installations that do not consider heat dissipation can also cause premature lamp failure. In short, have Smart Power specify a quality product and properly install it and you will not need to touch it for a very long time. How do LED fixtures change color? By using three LED colors within the fixture (RED, Blue and Green), by adjusting the intensity of each, a different color is created, Smart Power has developed a simple control interface for this that is user adjustable and can incorporate other lighting types.
