The LED lights brought to you by Duralec are:

  • Certified energy-efficient - Certified and DLC-listed to be energy efficient using at least 75% less energy.
  • Long-lasting - Lasts 25 times longer (at least 50,000 hours) than traditional bulbs.
  • Bright and cool - Duralec LED lights give off 3500K-5000K brightness, the highest lumen output for the same amount of energy. The lights are housed in heatsink materials that absorb and dissipate heat for a cooler space.
  • Eligible for the longest warranties - Each LED fixture is backed by a 5-Year Warranty.
  • Safe and secure - Each LED unit is UL-certified safe from the risk of fire and RoHs certified free from hazardous chemicals.
  • Weatherproof and shatterproof - Outdoor LED fixtures are IP65-certified safe from external vibrations, dust, and water.

The lighting system management and controls offered are:

  • Basic Manual controls - Basic wall switches and covers for manual control of a wired network of lights.
  • Advanced network lighting controls - PoE (controlled and powered by Ethernet cables ) or IoT-enabled luminaires (Bluetooth or Wireless Internet) allows lights to be monitored and controlled remotely, which allows for greater flexibility in lighting management.
  • Automated controls - Sensors to help save energy by only having lights on when needed. Motion sensors turn lights on based on movement in the area, Occupancy sensors turn lights on based on people present, and Photocell sensors turn lights on or off based on the time of day and dim lights based on the amount of daylight.
  • Variety of mounting devices - Relatively simple mounting and installation with most LED packages including out-of-the-box mounting accessories and installation instructions. Additional mounting accessories are available to accommodate the placement of fixtures on any surface.
