About The Seminar

Premiere of this full day presentation, including much more material than the half-day version that was introduced earlier this year. When will LED surpass high performance linear fluorescent? At what point will it be worth waiting one or more years LED instead of retrofitting with high performance fluorescent to get savings sooner? Will LED T8s ever become the product of choice in troffers, or will it always be LED troffers or light bar/panel kits? What are much better financial tools than payback and ROI? What about Kelvin changing LEDs to match daylight throughout the day and improve circadian rhythms? Why try to dim fluorescents, when dimming LEDs can be so much better? Why are upgrades are better than just trying to reduce wattage? With very low power densities in offices, etc. when will controls become much less expensive to be cost effective? Should reflectivity be improved and glare & veiling reflections be reduced before trying to make the light sources more efficient? Is EHID now or LED later best for exterior? Is induction still relevant? What are the advantages of contractors and other lighting professionals providing options and including financial information on individual fixture types over providing just providing a take if or leave it proposal with totals? Sustainability, certifications and EPACT tax deductions will be included.

 

Outline

Morning

  • Introduction
    • Including average does not cut it anymore
  • Technology progression
  • LED forecast
  • Already 4 types of LED troffers and which strategies are best
  • LED light bars instead of LED T8s
  • LED hibays
  • Electronically ballasted ceramic metal halide
  • Net present value, savings to investment ratio, etc. instead of payback and ROI
  • Financial Progression
  • Good applications for LED products
  • Full vs. reduced wattage fluorescent T8s
  • Eliminate parabolic louvers
  • Spectrally enhanced lighting
  • Five pairs of tables on various applications
    • One of each pair with just payback and ROI without the time value of money
    • One of each pair with better financial tools
  • Miscellaneous
  • Circadian rhythms
  • SAD
  • Hospital and school studies
  • Etc.
  • Retrofit without upgrade is wasted opportunity
  • Retrofit now or later
  • Improve light quality and flexibility
  • Light and human health

 

Afternoon

  • Automatic controls
    • When manual controls are really better
    • When are the really cost effective after getting lighting power density so low
    • Occupancy sensors
    • Photocontrols
    • Advanced Controls
      • Wired
      • Wireless
  • Instant vs. program start fixed output fluorescent ballasts
  • Dimming vs. nondimming fluorescent ballasts
  • Future of dimming
  • Induction
  • Garage lighting and controls
  • Exterior lighting and controls
  • Roadway
  • Parking lot
  • Wall packs
  • Etc.
  • Advantages of contractors and others providing retrofit options instead of just providing take it or leave it proposals with grand totals
  • Low carbon footprint
  • Mercury and other toxic materials reduction
  • Sustainability
  • EPACT tax deductions
  • Benefits of certifications
  • Final Q&A, projects, comments, etc.
