Euri Lighting Products: Energy Savings and Long Lifespan

Image
Industrial and commercial buildings commonly use fluorescent, halogen, and HID lamps for wide-area illumination. High bays, warehouses, production floors, and aisles, as well as office spaces, are often lit with fluorescent tube lights, HID lamps, and even incandescent or halogen floodlights. Fluorescent lamps, and to a lesser degree, HID lamps, offer much higher energy efficiencies than incandescent and halogen lights, but even these are limited when compared to LED technology. One producer, Euri Lighting, has been driven by a focus on energy efficiency from its very beginnings. The following are the implications of energy-efficient LED lighting for businesses and to a lesser extent, homeowners or others that still use incandescent bulbs or even CFLs.
