LED Lighting Label

October 7th, 2009 No Comments

The US Department of Energy has developed the lighting facts program to help consumers better understand the different attributes of lighting sources. The program has proposed a label to be added to products that explains and even illustrates the variations between the lamps. You can find more information about the label at lighting-facts.com.

The label will provide information about output, efficacy, CRI and CCT.

I’ve found this to be a great idea and would love to see this program expand to the rest of the lighting source industry.

I found a great article in the July 2007 issue of Architectural Lighting magazine. The article is about daylight and glazing and is written by lighting icon James Benya. The author does a great job of defining and describing different type of glazing and their interaction with daylight. This is a must read if you are involved with any type of glazing specification.
