LED Lighting –
An Ongoing Evolution
1
Introductions
Greg Smith, President, Lighting Optimizers, USA, CLEP, CEM, LEED AP•

The Power of Lighting
3
“Lighting represents roughly 40% of the energy consumption in the commercial building sector”
- US Dept. of Energy, 2008
• Fastest payback• Low initial investment• Helps drive other energy improvements• Improved facility appearance & comfort• Typical 2-4 year interior fluorescent payback • Typical 6-8 year exterior LED payback
Identifying Opportunities
4
5 or more years since last lighting upgrade– Presence of T12 lamps and ballasts– Presence of T8 32W lamps– Presence of non-fluorescent High Bays
Absence of Occupancy Sensors Incandescent EXIT Signs HID Exterior Lighting
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
5
History of the Technology
• First concept was discovered/created in 1907 by H.J. Round – electroluminescence
• Nick Holonyak of GE (1961)– First visible spectrum LED (red)
• First used to replace indicator lamps– TVs, radios, calculators, high tech machines
• High brightness LED (blue & white) in 1994

Recent Trends
Quality Improvements Market Leaders – Cree, Lithonia, Sylvania Trusted Manufacturers offering full LED product
lines
Quantity Improvements Higher Lumen output Improved Fixture Efficacy (i.e. lumens per watt)
7
Emerging Trends
8
Advantages of LED
Advantages High efficacy (lumens/Watt) No mercury Can vary color easily Cycling Dimming capabilities LIFE EXPECTANCY (50,000 + hours) Instant Start up time No ultraviolet light Energy savings
9
Potential Disadvantages
Directional
Potential slight color variationBeing addressed by major manufacturers
throughout quality control
Current interior cost, but lowering everyday
Can have compatibility issues with older dimmer systems

Interior Case Study – Dayton Art Institute
Strategy One for one lamp replacement w/ comparable LED product Light output from LED lamps only an issue at extremely high
outputs (> 250W incandescent) Replacement of incandescent lamp system with high
efficiency LED lamps Projected Electrical Savings = $33,000 Projected Annual O&M Savings = $1,800 Projected Utility Rebate = $11,240 Simple Payback 5.1 years
11
Case Study – Tecumseh Local Schools
2012 Retrofit of Exterior Lighting Systems - Wall-packs- Flood lighting- Parking Lots/Area Lighting
65% Energy Use Reduction 7.2 Year Simple Payback
