The Uses for LED Lighting Technology are Endless; From Home to Business

We’ve seen how LED lighting can impact business directly; from lighting food, displays, and saving businesses money, the applications for LED’s in a business environment are endless.  The same can be said for LED lighting in the home; screw-in bulbs to outdoor flood packs.  The point is this: LED technology is versatile.  It can even be extended into more industrial environments, like warehouses, which serve as an important component of the business supply chain.  It might not be an application which consumers think of immediately, however this step in the process indirectly affects the prices that consumers pay for their goods.

Lighting is just a part of the new technologies and material handling procedures that the warehousing world is experiencing, but it’s also one of the most important.  Lighting is responsible for half to three quarters of a warehouse facility’s lighting needs.  Overhead lights are needed in loading areas for general illumination for better safety during loading procedures. Supplemental lights may also be needed to further improve illumination in certain cases.  At workstations low glare lights that enable office staff to comfortably read documents is needed. Good horizontal and vertical illumination is required for open storage areas as the aisles may be repeatedly reconfigured.

Similarly good lighting is needed in rack storage areas. Besides these, lighting levels in a warehouse depend on the activity pattern, space design (open or confined), age and visual acuity of workers and size of items.  LED lighting can be used in any of these areas of a warehouse and save on maintenance and energy costs.  In the long run, workers will be able to focus more on their job in a comfortable environment without worrying about lighting outages which render a particular area of the warehouse dark and unsafe.

New Tek Partners is an LED lighting company which produces commercial and industrial lighting solutions to cover a wide range of needs.  Their High/Low Bay LED lights produce at least a 60% energy savings and offer other options such as remote control, resistance to shock and vibration and a patented heat dissipation design.  These lights are perfect for warehouse applications and can benefit companies by saving money and benefit workers by creating a safer, and brighter, work environment.

LED Lighting – The Best Lighting Choice for Hospitals

Healthcare is one of the hottest topics heading into the New Year.  Hospitals worldwide are investing in energy efficient lighting to provide better patient care while saving in operating costs. 
LEDs are the best substitutes for incandescent globes and halogens and have very low maintenance cost, but high efficiency.  They not only provide a clearer, whiter light, which helps patients feel more at ease, but they also help lower operating costs for the hospital, allowing for that money to be better spent on front-line patient services such as medical supplies and staffing.  A recent report shows that sealed LED lighting units protect patients from harmful bacteria, while providing uniformly-distributed dimmable light. 

The long LED lifespan (estimated at 60,000 hours or seven years) also eliminates the need for routine bulb replacement, which stops harmful bacteria from being distributed into the atmosphere.  Using LED lighting in place of incandescent lighting can also lead to tax breaks, such as the Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Tax Deduction. 

Within the hospital itself, LED lighting can serve as an important component in different patient services.  MRI facilities require nonferrous lights because of the magnetic fields from the equipment.  Incandescent lighting tends to give off minute impurities that are affected by the high intensity magnetic field of the MRI.  This drastically reduces the life of the bulb.  Fluorescent lighting is not suitable either because of the noise artifacts generated in scans.  In comparison, LED lights are virtually unaffected by magnetic fields, provide no noise interference and last longer.  

LED lights are also dimmable, making them ideal for CT scan, ultrasound rooms and other places where adjustable lighting is needed.  LED bulbs and tubes are a great “assistant” for surgeons in operating rooms.  They deliver high quality light without high temperatures.  This allows for surgeons to view body tissue in its natural colors, while at the same time providing a safe environment for the patient. 

Not only does New Tek Partners have LED lighting solutions for home and office, they also provide optimal solutions for the healthcare industry.  The variety of bulbs, retrofit tube lights and flood lighting is perfect to fully equip a hospital inside and out.  Next time you are thinking about healthcare, consider how the proper lighting can impact your care.

The Future of LED Lighting Part II

The rate at which LED technology is growing is surprising even the harshest skeptics.  This evolution can be seen in advances such as incandescent technology being phased out, terminology (watts to lumens) being changed, and government tax breaks being offered.  It’s versatile in its use – from commercial to residential applications and everything in between.  What started out as a niche-oriented technology is now becoming widespread throughout the globe.

According to the U.S. Energy Department, there are about 971 million 60-watt light bulbs in use in the United States alone.  Part of the reason of the phasing out of incandescent bulbs is so that consumers will use the more efficient LED technology and encourage energy savings for our growing population.  Green initiatives are becoming more important now than ever and LED technology is already a leader in green solutions.  CFLs still remain a viable option; however, when compared to LED technology, CFLs contain mercury, have shorter life spans and give off a blue-green light.  Because of those reasons, and others, many lighting experts expect for LED bulbs to become the eventual replacement for incandescent lighting. 

Already major chain retailers are carrying LED bulbs in place of incandescent technology; the most common being a 60-watt-equivalent LED bulb.  Futuristic niche-uses of this technology still remain as well.  The U.S. military is using LED applications in UV-LED canteen water treatment devices, sterilization of field surgical equipment and LED flashlights for night-vision goggles.  The automotive industry is also moving toward using LED light bulbs in vehicles.  Next generation televisions are also being outfitted with LED technology to improve resolution, color and brightness.  With an increase in usage of this technology across the board, it opens up the door for entrepreneurs to utilize this technology and make it their own – including upgrades and customization to computers, photography and mobile phones.  Universities such as UC Davis and University at Albany-SUNY have also implemented solid-state lighting programs, indicating a shift in educating and arming graduates for the future of lighting technology. 


New Tek Partners offers a range of products to supplement your green initiatives and keep you ahead of the technological curve.  LED lighting’s energy efficiency, high brightness and technological superiority over other light sources made it an ideal choice for consumers.  LED tube lights, screw-in bulbs, strip lights, street lamps, wall packs and several other products constitute the range of LED technology offered by New Tek Partners.  Next time you are looking ahead of the curve at technology, choose New Tek Partners to provide you with the lighting that is the wave of the future.
