LED – WHAT IS ALL THE MEDIA HYPE ABOUT? https://tactiklighting.com/ sales@tactik.com 920.253.4890
The Rise of LED Lighting LED” is everywhere in the media today First infrared LED patented in 1961 by Texas Instruments 1962: First visible-light LED invented by Nick Holonyak Now used in nearly all illumination applications: Headlights, Buildings, Screens, Signage, etc.
LEDs praised as the greatest thing since sliced bread Media Praise ≠ Universal Perfection But history warns us: Example: Asbestos – useful, but dangerous Not all that glitters is gold in lighting, either
The Blue Light Concern Blue light exposure from digital screens is a known issue Many cheap LED lights emit high levels of blue light Risks: Eye fatigue, disrupted sleep, long-term eye damage Full-spectrum LEDs are easier on the eyes and provide a more pleasant environment
Pros of LED Technology Higher efficiency than traditional lighting Increased brightness with lower energy use Longer lifespan when designed properly Reduced maintenance costs
The Reality – Not All LEDs Are Equal Important LED Selection Factors: Glare & eye fatigue Blue light spectrum quality Component reliability (LED + driver) Integration and synergy of system components
Tactik’s Approach to LED Projects We often step in after a client buys into the hype Our process focuses on: Discovery Learn the environment, needs, and problems Design: Customized solutions – no “one-size-fits-all” Education: Help clients understand what really matters
Light levels & uniformity What We Evaluate Before Recommending LEDs Optics & glare control Temperature, radiant heat & vibrations Dust, moisture, environmental hazards Fixture construction & component quality Heat dissipation Lumens per watt vs delivered lumens per watt
Why It Matters LED solutions aren’t just plug-and-play Incorrect selection = eye strain, failure, downtime A bad system can cost more long-term than a well-engineered one Doing it right the first time saves time, money, and productivity
