One of the most accentuating aspects of commercial outdoor lighting is landscape lighting. Illuminating landscape features such as shrubs, trees, and plants can transform a property from ordinary into extraordinary! In additional to enhancing the image of a property, a quality landscape lighting design can add safety and security to a property with increased ambient light levels around walkways and paths.

LED Landscape Lighting Fixtures Replace Metal Halide

One of the most popular forms of commercial landscape lighting is incandescent and HID lighting such as Metal Halide. These flood fixtures are often expensive to operate, and have higher levels of required maintenance. Though they provide a great degree of brightness, the overall costs can often deter a property owner from maintaining them. Fortunately with the current advances in technology and receding cost of LED lighting, the days of spending thousands in electricity and hundreds in labor and replacement bulbs are over. Synergy Lighting offers a complete line of line voltage LED Bullet style landscape lighting fixtures that can easily replace any incandescent or HID Metal Halide flood fixture.

LED Lighting Fixtures Save Energy

LED provides a sharper brilliant white light, runs cooler and last up to 4 times longer than HID, and 30 times longer than halogen. Synergy’s line of LED Bullet landscape fixtures utilize CREE brand LED and are available from 8 watt (Replaces 50 Watt Halogen) up to to 20 Watt (Replaces up to 100 Watt Metal Halide). Sizes range from PAR20 to PAR38 for larger applications. Annual energy savings for the 20 watt LED fixture is $64.00 a year per fixture, and has an initial cost equal to leading brand HID fixtures. Upgrading your existing HID system to LED is easy with a quick change using the 1/2″ adjustable knuckle mount built into the base of the fixture. The die-cast housing provides long term durability against abuse from landscape maintenance and comes standard with a tempered glass lens. Finishes include both Bronze and Verde Green to match the most common landscape designs. Color temperatures include 3000K Warm White, 3500K Neutral White and 5000K Natural White.

Switching to LED lighting is something most people are seemingly interested in.  However, when the typical cost of an LED light bulb is learned, that urgency begins to take a back seat to the urgency to hold tight on spending. The initial cost of most LED light bulbs is very high compared to the cost of an incandescent bulb. In the LED light bulb world, all things must be treated equally. This means you spend a little, you save a little, spend a lot and save a lot.  Sometimes in switching to LED lighting, we recommend that customers start with spending a little and saving a little to get used to the benefits of LED’s in commercial and residential use.

One of the most common types of incandescent light bulb used in both residential and commercial lighting is chandelier (B-Type) lamps. These type lamps are typically found in the 25 Watt and 40 Watt lamps and rarely found without multiple lamps per fixture such as a multi-point chandelier. Although we individually don’t look at these lamps as using much electricity, when you add up all the bulbs on an 8 point chandelier, it can add up to 500 Watts which in itself is very significant. Let’s look at a new product that can drastically reduce this consumption.

The new LDCT3WH30K is a 3 Watt LED Chandelier Torpedo style lamp made by TCP. The lamp offers one of the smallest packages that most closely resembles the size and shape of an incandescent B-Type lamp while delivering maximum light output from a tower of SMD LED’scentered in the envelope. The tower array allows for 360° illumination while a circle of SMD LED’s on the top of the tower array direct light upwards as well. This arrangement of LED’s allow the lamp to perfectly illuminate chandelier lamp shades that can easily clip on to the lamps outer housing.  If used bare in a chandelier, the lamp closely replicates the light output of an incandescent, and would hardly be noticeable to anyone who wasn’t looking for it to be different.  Because of the very small Solid State electronics placed within the base of the LCDT3WH30K, dimming is no problem for this LED bulb. Heat output is also drastically reduced by the LDCT3WH30K LED light bulb.

The TCP LED lamp delivery a consistant 3000K which is the color that most correctly resembles a halogen bulb, so incandescent users may see a slightly whiter output from the lamp, but seems to not be so different as to pull a negative review from customers. This difference in color creates a cleaner and just as bright feel for any chandelier, pendant or wall sconce. Now the biggest benefit of the 3 Watt LED lamp is that it can replace up to a 40 Watt Incandescent without any noticeable light loss. In an example of an 8 pt. chandelier, energy waste is reduced from 500 Watts per fixture to only 24 Watts,  for a total savings of 476 Watts.

Here is how that breaks down into savings:

Total Savings for switching 1 bulb to LED: $177.22!

The TCP LED chandelier bulb is available in with both candelabra and medium base, as well as Clear and Frosted versions as well as a Crystal Cut Clear and Frosted for a more decorative design.
