Glare refers to difficulty seeing or a reduction of visibility in the presence of a bright light. Glare may be caused directly or indirectly by natural or artificial light. Common examples of glare include that caused by headlamps at night, overhead light reflected on a computer monitor, and driving into the sun at sunrise or […]
When retrofit LEDs are installed in a can, air does not circulate well and heat is generated from both the LED and the driver. When the driver overheats, it shuts off for protection. When the driver turns on and off, it makes the LED light blink on and off. This is even more prone to […]
Yes. LEDs can be configured for blinking applications and LED lighting and lifetime is not affected by being turned on and off.
Yes. Our General Lighting LEDs do not emit UV light or radiant heat. They are excellent for use in refrigerators and displaying food items.
Yes. Natural sunlight is comprised of the entire light spectrum. Blue wavelength light generally promotes plant germination and elongation, while red wavelength light generally stimulates optimum flowering. Regulating the light spectrum with LEDs to match the plant’s life cycle can actually promote faster growing, stronger plants than those grown with natural sunlight.
Most insects are primarily attracted to UV rays. LEDs do not emit UV rays and attract fewer insects than conventional lights.
Well-designed LEDs perform well under typical ambient temperatures. All Sunlite products are rated to operate well between -30°C and 40°C (-22°F and 104°F). LEDs are very sensitive to heat, and although the LEDs will still perform well under their rated operating conditions, each 20°C increase in temperature will typically drop the life span by 10,000 […]
No. Incandescent and fluorescent lights will fail sooner when switched on and off more frequently, but LED lighting is unaffected by being turned on and off.
An LED light never truly burns out; it simply dims over time. The lighting industry uses the L70 standard rating as the life span for an LED. L70 is measured in hours until the LED reaches 70% of its original light output (30% lumen depreciation). Testing has shown that the life span of an LED […]
Retrofitting a 2″ halogen lamp is not possible with LEDs, since a retrofit LED with a G4 base is typically too big to directly replace a 20W halogen lamp. The best way to replace a halogen puck light is to replace the entire fixture with a 2″ LED can light fixture. Sunlite manufactures LED fixtures […]
