| The Advancement Ff LED Lighting |

Today, we can offer led products that are truly useful and reliable for all sorts of applications that were not possible even a year ago. The advancement of the technology has allowed manufacturers to create products that produce consistent color and high output lumen performance.
Anyone that has been involved with led products knows that the biggest issues in the past have been the lack of output available from most fixtures and the wide variation of color produced by these fixtures. A designer would be very leery of using led lights because they might get fixtures or lamps that looked ˇ°greenˇ± or ˇ°pinkish,ˇ± with no control over what might be delivered. Even within the same shipment of lights, there may be a fixture with both color variations.
Now that more manufacturers are involved with the technology, everyone seems to be paying more attention to their binning. Binning is the way on which led dyes are sorted with their color in relation to the center line. This is known as the McAdams Ellipse. When the manufacturer of a LED lamp or fixture selects the LEDs for their product, they now generally pay a lot more attention to the bin as this will give their product the consistency that everyone is looking for and expects.
The second greatest advancement has been the rate of efficacy, or how many lumens per watt can be achieved. There has been much misinformation stated and published on led products in the past. Some claims have over exaggerated their performance so greatly that a lot of early buyers of led products were greatly disillusioned. The Department of Energy is now getting involved by setting up standards for the Energy Star Program. These new standards clearly state what led products will deliver and what true equivalent replacement brightness will be achieved. Also, led producers are now able to create LEDs that can generate over 100 lumens per watt. That being said, it must also be noted that when a fixture states its lumen output it must calculate the loss of heat, optics and electronics which all deduct from the final output.
The future of led lighting is very exciting as we now have multiple options for every type of lamp or fixture. LEDs can produce a real life replacement for most types of energy wasting incandescent lighting. In addition, it reduces and eliminates the harmful fluorescent, mercury-filled lamps from our environment while still maintaining a well-lit space.
