By replacing standard incandescent lights with energy saving fluorescents or light-emitting diodes (LED's), the total lighting load can be reduced by between 50 to 90% without sacrificing illumination. We recommend the use of fluorescent lighting due to their efficiency and savings. An incandescent bulb can be replaced with a fluorescent using one quarter of the power and they last 4-5 times longer than bulbs.
In addition, LEDs consume one tenth the power of an incandescent, and offer 100,000 hour operating life. Their brightness is a function of the number of LEDs. Because of their low power draw they are ideal for all solar systems.
Types are:
- DC Fluorescent Lamps: The fluorescent lamps range from 7W to 20W with over 3000 hours average lifetime and a high luminous efficiency electricity saving up to 80%.
- Spot Lights: Our attractive ceiling fixtures feature an energy efficient 13 watt PL tube, equivalent to the output of a 60 W incandescent for maximum illumination. PL tubes are warm white color similar to incandescent bulbs. Models available are 13W and 26W.
LED Light bulbs: These attractive 12 VDC fluorescent fixtures have painted aluminum housings and acrylic diffuser lenses. Sizes range from 8 to 60 watts, and all use standard warm white tubes. These lights are ideal for shop areas, bathrooms, kitchens or general area lighting. High-efficiency and low power consumption make these lights ideal for the majority of your lighting needs. Models are from 8W to 60W.
