![]() Advantages of LEDs over Traditional Ceiling Lights Additionally, many commercial facilities choose to retrofit existing light fixtures to use LEDs, which is an effective and economical option. There are a number of different lighting fixtures that work for this, which include troffers for drop ceilings, flush panels, strip lights as well as recessed lighting using BR30 style bulbs. Normally these lights are suspended from ceiling mounting points using chains, cables or a similar suspension system.įor areas such as lower ceilings such as entryways, overhangs and office spaces, choosing a light with a wider angle spread is the best choice. These are typically high bay fixtures, which come in both round “UFO” styles and linear styles. High ceilings, such as those seen in warehouses, large auto repair shops and certain retail and commercial facilities require fixtures that can provide intense illumination over long distances. However this can make the selection process confusing for those who are not familiar with the intended use of each type of fixture. There are a wide range of fixtures available in order to suit each application perfectly. This mainly has to do with the height of the ceiling, the type of facility, as well as other factors such as color temperature and the wattage required to meet the desired illumination output. There are several factors that go into selecting the right overhead LED fixture for a particular application. Our selection of high quality LED overhead lights offer a complete package for any new building installation or retrofit. ![]() ![]() In fact, because of the significant benefits they have to offer, LEDs have become the dominant form of lighting for commercial users, and have expanded into a wide range of different fixture types and styles. However, in recent years LED lights have surpassed these older technologies in terms of performance, durability, efficiency and longevity. Traditional technologies such as HID, metal halides and fluorescents were the go to fixture type for decades in the commercial market. While often taken for granted, these lights are critical to ensure efficient, safe and effective business operations. They do all the old troffers did and more.Commercial, retail and other large scale facilities throughout the globe use overhead lighting fixtures as an integral part of their everyday activities. There really is not much choice when refitting the lighting in a dropped ceiling grid but to put in LED panels. Correct colourīesides offering a colour temperature of neutral white 4000K or cool white 5000K, the high quality colour rendering that doctors and vets require called cyanosis compliant is also available on request. For long exposure environments for people who are especially sensitive to the flicker that most find imperceptible, there is a flicker free driver. It’s possible to request dimmable drivers (phase cut, 1-10V or DALI). The panels have remote drivers, which provides options for specialised applications. Even plaster ceilings can be fitted with LED panels with our plaster recess frames. Various frames are available to make fitting the panels easy. There are 5 standard sizes from 300 x 300mm through to 1200 x 600mm. Practically any ceiling grid will fit the range of sizes available. Haneco’s MATRIX LED panels are edge lit and produce an even shadow free light that is perfect for working environments. And being sealed, they don’t collect dust and insects. Being LED, they are more energy efficient than fluoros. LED panels are the new way of lighting places like offices and schools. The dropped ceiling grids remain, but thin LED panels have taken the place of the old fluoros. Gone are the days of the old fluorescent troffers in dropped ceiling grids. ![]() In late 2013, Dabrowski played an early alpha of Wasteland 2 and became disillusioned with the complexity of its RPG mechanics the initial concept behind Streets of Rogue was to recreate the "city-based, mission-based, freeform, open-ended gameplay" seen in games like Grand Theft Auto 2 and Fallout, but without unneeded complexity.
