Corn Cob LED Lights: The Best Replacement for HID Lamps You’ve Not Yet Discovered

Image
  There are all different sorts of LED lights on the market today. While they were once relatively expensive, the cost of the semiconductor materials used to create them dropped precipitously in the early 2000s, and the industry flourished. Now, there are all sorts of cost-effective LEDs and LED retrofits, such as LED tube lights, LED replacements for incandescent bulbs and halogen bulbs, and even corn cob LED lights . Let’s peel back the layers and take a slightly closer look at why LED corn cob lights are growing in popularity, and why they might be able to make a difference for your business. What Are HID Lamps? HID lamps, more formally known as high-intensity discharge lamps, constitute a class of lighting that has widely been used for large area indoor and outdoor lighting. Many stadiums, arenas, warehouses, high bays, parking lots, and industrial complexes are lit by HID lamps. Of the many different types of HID lamps are HPS and LPS lamps (high-pressure sodium and low-pre...

What Is an Industrial Automation System? [How Does It Benefit My Business?]

  Not very much can be said about the nature of different industries, since they all deal in different aspects of products, field their own quality control concerns, and are governed by diverse regulations. This, however, can be said. Regardless of the industry your organization operates in, it is in the best interest of your business to improve efficiency and diminish waste. If you can get a “job” done with two employees or two machines instead of three, it’s beneficial. If you can save time by adjusting a process, it’s beneficial. In other words, we’ve all heard it said that time is money, and since efficiency is a product of time, efficiency costs money. The more efficient an industrial process is, the more money it can save, or make. Industrial automation and monitoring systems, managed by an industrial automation system , may be able to help with the efficiency of your organization’s processes. Industrial automation systems help to streamline industrial processes, improvin...

6 Reasons Companies That Replace Their HID Lamps with LED Corn Bulbs Stand to Benefit

  If your warehouse or production facility is still lit with traditional HID lamps like high-pressure sodium lamps or metal halide lamps, there’s a respite on the horizon that has an uncouth appearance: LED corn bulbs . LED corn bulbs, also called corn cob lamps and corn cob LEDs among several other names, are light bulbs that have numerous LED emitters arranged around a central cylindrical “cob,” giving them an appearance that is not entirely dissimilar to a corn cob; hence the name. But LED corn lights are purpose-driven and are not a flash in the pan. There are many significant reasons that LED corn lights are superior to HID lamps, the greatest of which we will cover here. LED Corn Cob Lights Deliver Equivalent Color Temperature, Luminous Intensity, Color Rendering Index, and Faster Startup Times First, LED corn bulbs are a great alternative to HID lamps because they offer a wide range of color temperatures, from warm red amber, warm white, and daylight white light to cool...
