New LED Technology Hailed by NYC Lighting Design Firms
Online, November 28, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Solid-state lighting has moved rapidly in the past decade toward mainstream acceptance and NYC-based Green Lantern Industries has been in the forefront of this movement. Steady improvements in technological improvement, notably the development of white light LED lamps, has propelled the growth of this industry and we are now witnessing the phase-out of obsolete lighting technologies and the wholesale adoption of long-lasting, energy efficient, and digitally controlled LED systems.
The Internet changed our lives because it offered easily accessible digital information and distributed it on a scale that was never before seen. Alexis Smagula from GLI maintains that "the digital revolution in LED lighting will play an equally important role in the near future through the use of digital and Internet controlled lighting systems. This is a very exciting time for us."
Green Lantern is a 'total solutions provider' and is committed to developing and using the most cost-effective and scalable commercial lighting systems in the business. This is all achieved with no loss in terms of light quality and luminaire design. Green Lantern technical advisors are experts in the digital design of self-sustaining systems: from installation and use, to power distribution, energy conservation, and ultimately the implementation of automated systems offering clients unprecedented 24-hour control of their facilities. Their goal is to provide users with a more complete understanding of what it means to "go digital" in commercial lighting and illumination projects. We know the future is green; Green Lantern's approach offers practical guidance and lights the path toward an energy efficient future
The Advantages of Dimming LED
Efficient lamp dimming may hold the future for commercial LED lighting projects. Alexis Smagula, co-founder of Green Lantern Industries, believes that dimmable lighting applications in residential and commercial installations will account for over fifty-percent of all lighting fixtures by 2015. Why would dimmable devices play such an important role in future applications? Ms. Smagula explains, "The overwhelming majority of large-scale commercial facilities today are dominated by fluorescent bulb technology. These fixtures are not dimmable and in large commercial spaces bulbs near windows deliver full power, unregulated light where it is simply not needed. Dimmable LED lamps can be individually controlled to supply light where and when it is needed. With the cost of energy on a permanent upward spiral every bit of energy saved today will be like money in the bank tomorrow".
Green Lantern is in the forefront of research developments and creative applications for LED lighting fixtures and they believe that the ability to control light intensity through dimming will play an crucial role in future applications. Typically, LED lighting controls have sought to emulate incandescent lamp technology. But this weakens one of the primary strengths of LEDs by decreasing energy efficiency. Green Lantern believes a better approach is to work within the limitations of TRIAC-based dimmers and avoid the dissipation and waste of valuable energy. When practical advances in LED lighting technology are perfected by the industry you can be sure that Green Lantern will employ them in their designs.
