What else affects LED light lifespan?

• The temperature at which the LED lights are run greatly affects their lifespan. Higher temperatures can cause them to overheat and burn out quickly.
• The quality of the LED light itself can affect its lifespan. LED lights that are made with low-quality materials may not be able to withstand the same amount of heat or strain as those that are made with better materials.
• The environment in which LED lights are used can also affect their longevity; they may be exposed to dust or chemicals that wear away at their components over time.

How do I know when my LED light needs replacing?

Why do LED lights fail? 

• Improper installation is one of the primary causes of LED light failure. Improperly connecting or wiring an LED light to a circuit can lead to an overload of the driver or power supply components, resulting in a shortened lifespan of the LEDs.
• If an LED fixture is not securely mounted, vibrations may cause the connection between components to become loose leading to overheating which will damage sensitive electronics in the driver and shorten their lifetime.
• Improper ventilation can increase temperatures inside fixtures causing them to overheat faster than they would with proper ventilation. 
• Components are not correctly selected and wired together according to specifications outlined by the manufacturer.

Thinking about making the switch to LED and have a few more questions?

The rise of smart devices has revolutionized the way we interact with our environment. Network lighting controls are an increasingly significant part of this development, offering businesses and homeowners a host of advantages. Network lighting controls offer an easy and efficient way to control lighting systems via a network of connected devices providing users with convenience, energy savings, and enhanced safety, while also allowing them to customize their settings according to their preferences.

With a wide variety of manufacturers, supported lighting network types, and intelligent lighting features available at Duralec, choosing and setting up an otherwise complicated lighting control system is easy and less daunting.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Light Controls 

Power over Ethernet (PoE) light controls provide a reliable and cost-effective way to control lighting using an Ethernet connection. It allows for the synchronization of multiple lights, providing more accurate and efficient control from one or more user interfaces. This technology also eliminates the need for separate wiring for the individual lights, making installation much easier and cheaper.

With PoE, each light can be controlled independently, allowing users to easily create different lighting scenarios. Additionally, this technology is compatible with most existing infrastructure, making it easy to integrate into any system. PoE provides an efficient and reliable solution for controlling lighting in any environment.

Internet of Things (IoT) Light Controls 

IoT light controls allow users to control their lighting directly from their smartphones or tablets,  or voice-control devices. This type of lighting system is becoming increasingly popular for its convenience and energy-saving benefits. Through IoT-enabled lighting systems, you can adjust the brightness and color of your lights, create schedules for when the lights should turn on or off, and even remotely control them from anywhere at any time.

In addition, IoT-enabled lights work simultaneously with other environmental controls such as daylight harvesting and occupancy sensors for smarter, more energy-efficient lighting. The sensors are usually mounted on walls or ceilings where it is pre-programmed to detect changes in the environment, triggering lighting controls accordingly. Such sensors can be used in conjunction with light control apps that automate dimmers and timers to gain more energy savings.

• Occupancy sensors detect the presence of people in a room or space typically used to turn lights on and off automatically when someone enters or leaves a room.

• Daylight harvesting sensors monitor and measure the amount of natural light that enters a building. They allow for effective control of artificial lighting, reducing overall energy consumption by harvesting the available daylight within a space.

Bluetooth Mesh Light Controls

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Mesh Lighting is an advanced NLC (networked Lighting Control) technology that connects fixture controllers, sensors, timers and other devices together to create a network of interconnected and remote-controlled lights. 

The mesh network also provides increased coverage and reliability, as well as improved energy efficiency and reduced interference. As each bulb can act as a router for other bulbs in the network, it ensures that the signals reach even further than with Wi-Fi networks. This makes it ideal for larger areas such as offices, industrial buildings, and warehouses.

With Bluetooth Mesh light controls, users can set timers and schedules for their lights, adjust brightness levels remotely, group lights, or even change the color from any device connected to the mesh network, giving complete control over their lighting with just a few taps on their phone or tablet. Bluetooth Mesh systems are relatively easy to install, allowing you to quickly set up the existing fixtures.

Wi-Fi and Z-Wave Light Controls 

Wi-Fi switch modules turn wall switches to smart switches via Wi-Fi. The modules can also be used to set schedules for when lights should turn on or off, saving energy and money. Wi-Fi switch modules are easy to install and require minimal wiring. 

Z-Wave is low-power wireless technology of a different frequency, so it won't interfere with other wireless signals in your space. Devices use Z-Wave technology to connect to a compatible hub or controller. Through the hub, users can control the LED lights, including changing their intensity and color temperature, dimming it, and turning it off and on. Z-Wave light controllers also allow users to set schedules and create scenes that adjust multiple lights at once. 

Both Wi-Fi and Z-Wave-enabled light controllers can be connected to existing wall switches without the need for any special tools or knowledge of electrical systems. They allow users to remotely control and automate lights and other electronic devices through a smartphone app or a touchscreen control device. Additionally, some models offer compatibility with popular smart home systems such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home, allowing users to control their devices and lights using voice commands.

High bay lights are used in various industrial applications, including manufacturing plants, factories, gymnasiums, or facilities with ceilings as high as 20-40 feet. Typical high bay lighting includes metal halide and fluorescent bulbs which require a lot of energy to produce light, costs more money to maintain, and have a relatively short lifespan. Most industrial lights are housed in galvanized steel, which lacks heat sink properties, causing bulbs to overheat and fail and warm up the space.

By using less energy to produce the same amount of light, Duralec's industrial high bay LED lights help reduce your overall energy costs. In addition, these LED high bay fixtures are housed in aviation-grade aluminum, which has exceptional heat sink properties (absorbing heat and dissipating it), protecting the circuitry and LEDs. All Intrinsix High Bay Lights brought to you by Duralec, emit very little heat, keeping your facility cooler, thereby reducing air conditioning costs.

Daylight Saving Time (some refer to as Daylight Savings Time) ends this Sunday, November 6, 2022, at 2 a.m. As we fall back and change the clocks back one hour, households, offices, and industries get ready to adjust to the new start and end hours of daily tasks for the fall months. Many businesses change their schedule to avoid the clock change, leading to missed opportunities. Businesses have also reported a surge in energy usage while observing daylight saving time, rather than energy usage being cut down and saved.

How Daylight Saving Time Affects People and Businesses

Daylight Saving Time Effect on People

Most people are more productive during the spring and summer days because they have more daylight hours to work with. During these months, they wake up an hour earlier, gaining them an hour of sunlight for other activities. During the fall months, they set the clocks forward, earning them an hour of sleep but losing one hour of light before going to bed. Many find that the change in time and lighting disrupts their sleep patterns, resulting in decreased productivity and health problems.

Daylight Saving Time Effect on Businesses

Daylight saving time has a more visible impact on businesses with many employees and large spaces that require efficient lighting systems. During the spring months, the extra hour of sunlight after their routine encourages people to stay outdoors to dine and shop. Businesses keep up by lighting the spaces and extending the hours, resulting in a significant jump on their electric bill.

How Dimmable Lights Save Energy and Alleviate the Effects of DST Time Change

Lighting that adapts to time change greatly improves the health and well-being of occupants in any setting. Dimmable lights mimic the warm, natural light of the golden hour in the morning and evening, and the full spectrum of direct light in the daytime, allowing people’s eyes to adjust as their body clocks do. 

Duralec's line of dimmable lights is suitable for residential and commercial spaces and provides options for adjusting brightness, color temperature, and wattage. Each has a range of brightness and temperature that resembles golden hour (from 3500K) and direct sunlight (up to 5000K).

• Switchable Wattage (Troffer Lights) saves more energy than single-wattage lights!
• All lights are energy efficient and DLC-listed, making sure that spaces are kept bright while consumption remains low.
• All lights are tested for safety - RoHS compliant (free from hazardous materials), UL Certified (free from the risk of fire), and ETL and FCC Certified (approved for the US market).
• All lights are ensured with a 5-Year Warranty.

Sunshine Protection Act of 2022

With the Sunshine Protection Act of 2022 passed, states in the US will have a year-round Daylight Saving Time, excluding Hawaii, most of Arizona, and those who observe year-round Standard Time. Daylight saving time would begin on the spring forward on March 2023 and would last permanently. Those who conform will set their clocks ahead for the last time and will no longer reset the clocks as they do with DST. This means that everyone will have an extra hour of daylight before bedtime.

Whether DST is observed or not, it doesn't necessarily affect the length of daylight in the spring and autumn months. The longer daylight in the spring and summer, and the shorter daylight in the autumn and winter still have effects - favorable and adverse - on people and businesses.
