Lighting Essentials

Our team has extensive front-line experience in personally working with these products! With the largest buying power in North America, we can ensure the highest quality product available at the most competitive value in the market We are proudly NOT the cheapest

LED products vary greatly in quality, color consistency and longevity. Don’t jeopardize your project’s success or client relationships over using a lesser product. It doesn’t take long for product failures and color issues to far outweigh any cost differences

We have several proprietary elements incorporated into our product line that are not available anywhere else The bottom line, our products are quicker and easier to install, yield the greatest aesthetics and stand up against the elements

All of our LED lights are UL/CSA Approved

There is a tremendous amount of misinformation that has permeated through the lighting industry—specifically with regard to Light-Emitting Diode (LED) technology There is no doubt that LED lighting is a far better option than its predecessors— incandescent bulbs and fluorescent compacts and tubes. Like all new products, consumers must be able to separate fact from “creative marketing ” Through many hours of research and working closely with our manufacturers, we have assembled some helpful information that will help our clients discern between reality and fiction.

Compared to older lighting technology, LED offers: • Longer life • Lower energy consumption • No mercury content • An environmentally-friendly alternative Contrary to popular belief, LEDs do not last forever Some sources promote LEDs with a lifespan of more than 100,000 hours—more than 11 years of continuous burning.The fact is, LED technology hasn’t been around long enough for testing to adequately support this claim Based on current knowledge, conservative industry experts estimate that LEDs have a useful life ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 hours While this is a remarkable improvement over older technologies, there are a number of factors that can negatively impact the life of LEDs, including associated bulb components and usage patterns LEDs tend to dim as they progress through their life cycle, but nevertheless, they do last much longer than other lighting technologies

ElitePro vs Other LEDs

LED Mini Light Sets Our LED Mini Light sets are fully rectified; the natural “flickering” of the electrical wave conversion is not visible to the human eye. Most of the industry will use non-rectified or partially-rectified sets in order to save money.The result is a strobe or “flickering” effect.

In addition, sets are also sealed for weather proofing. Due to patent issues, most of the industry will use a replacement bulb—which 1) isn’t needed due to the long life of the diodes, and 2) creates a channel for moisture to get in and damage the internal construction of the light set The result is either poor or non-performing light sets Many manufacturers—in an effort to cut costs—do not color match the diodes As a result, they will produce strings that may have multiple shades of the same color within the same string We invest the extra money to ensure our diodes match

LED C7/C9 Replacement Bulbs Our Legacy C7 bulbs feature 3 diodes and the Legacy C9 bulb has 5 diodes placed in a star pattern at the base of the bulb and dome-sealed Our SMD C7 bulbs have 2 larger, brighter diodes and the SMD C9 bulbs have 3 larger, brighter diodes and both are dome-sealed as well Most of the industry will feature unsealed 3-diode bulbs, or they will stack up to 5 diodes, which leads to poor light distribution within the bulb, while allowing moisture to penetrate the inner workings of the bulb In addition, bulbs are self-ballasted or ballast-adapted—compared to the industry standard of being non-ballasted Similar to our rectified mini light sets, this step will stabilize the “flicker” effect generated by non-ballasted bulbs.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of our C bulbs is our proprietary, high-impact acrylic shell, featuring added UV protection These shells will hold their color and clarity, compared to others in the industry that feature polycarbonate or polystyrene, which tend to cloud and discolor over time

Proprietary Acrylic Shell Never Discolors
