Lighting Upgrade Pays For Itself

This story by Liz Shepard of thetimesherald.com tells how Port Huron, Michigan is upgrading all of the cities lights to LED's at no cost to taxpayers. The project is costing Port Huron $6.3 million, but will save $300,000 a year in energy costs along with reduced maintenance costs and replacement costs. "I think every city and county should be doing this," said Bob Clegg, city engineer. "I think this is important because energy is invisible, nobody sees it,". I'm glad to see that cities and towns are discovering the true saving potential of LED lighting. LED lighting does have a big upfront pricetag, but the cost savings pays for the lights in just a few short years. Underwater LED dock lights are the same way. They are more expensive upfront, but the savings in electricity and maintenance costs makes up the difference in price in a few years.

Color Temperature Changing LED Strips

A San Francisco Bay Area-based LED lighting company, Elemental LED, is now producing a White Balance Strip Light that allows users to choose the exact shade of white balance and brightness of their lights. The LED strip light combines with a White Balance Wall Controller to create the perfect LED lighting scheme. The system lets users choose LED lighting colors between a cool white 8000k and a warm white 2700k. The White Balance Wall Controller lets users easily fade between the different color temperatures. "Like many of our custom, in-house products, the White Balance LED Strip has been designed by Elemental LED for a high color rendering index (CRI) and high efficiency. We designed the controller to mate perfectly with the strip light for smooth fading in different applications," says Joseph Martin, Elemental LED Lead Engineer. Elemental LED is offering the White Balance LED Strip Light, Wall Controller and custom connectors in several discounted kits.
