INTEGRATED LED For the purpose of this Catalog all Integrated LED fixtures are listed as “Integrated LED”. CRI CRI (Color Rendering Index) measures how colors look when illuminated by an LED light source compared to natural sunlight. The scale goes from 0-100, with 100 representing a perfect score.

KELVIN TEMPERATURE Kelvin Temperature is a measurement of the color of light given off by the light source. As it applies to LED lighting warm white lighting is 3,000K or less, cool white lighting is 3,100K to 4,500K, and daylight is 4,600K to 6,000K.

Warm White 2,000K - 3,000K Neutral White 3,100K - 4,500K Cool White 4,600K - 6000K

TOTAL LUMENS VS. DELIVERED LUMENS What’s the difference between total lumens and delivered lumens? It’s an important question to answer when evaluating LED light fixtures so you know the amount of light that is available to light an area. Total lumens measure the amount of light emitted from the LED module. This figure does not take into account reduction from light filtering through the LED lens, shade or glass. Delivered lumens is the measure of light through the fixture lens, shade or glass. Delivered lumens will be less than total lumens due to the lumen reduction through the decorative glass or shade over the LED. Delivered lumens provides a more accurate measure of the light available for the space than total lumens.
