Lighting trends show increasing demand for and use of LED light sources. With continued LED lighting innovations, the ability to diffuse light without compromising overall light transmission has become critical, especially for indoor lighting. To address this market need, Altuglas International, a division of Arkema Group, introduces a family of acrylic sheet, Plexiglas MC Diffusion, designed to provide LED luminaire OEMs and optics suppliers with excellent light diffusion performance, along with exceptional light transmission.

Plexiglas MC Diffusion acrylic sheet is available in two grades. Plexiglas MC Diffusion 100 acrylic sheet offers a smoother sheet surface while Plexiglas MC Diffusion 200 acrylic sheet has a textured surface.

Plexiglas MC Diffusion 100 acrylic sheet provides 87 percent light transmission; Plexiglas MC Diffusion 200 acrylic sheet provides 84 percent light transmission. Both grades provide a greater than 95 percent haze to allow for excellent light source hiding capability. The diffusion quality is what makes the sheets exceptional choices for many light source applications. The uniform light distribution softens LED light hotspots and offers the flexibility to place lenses in close proximity to the light source while still diffusing light uniformly.

Plexiglas MC Diffusion sheets, like all standard Plexiglas sheet offerings, exhibit all the fabrication attributes that customers have come to expect. Designing with both grades is easily achieved.

This versatile material can be used in lighting applications for commercial, industrial, residential and professional uses. Besides the typical lighting applications, Plexiglas MC Diffusion acrylic sheets can be used in a wide variety of applications such as skylights, POP displays, store fixtures, signage, and decorative furnishings.

Sheet features include: - Excellent diffusion characteristics - Exceptional light transmission - Lightweight - half the weight of glass - Easily fabricated and thermoformed

Sheet offerings include: - Standard thicknesses of 0.080 and 0.118 - Standard sheet sizes - Customized sizes available upon request

GOLDEN South Jefferson County will soon see an indoor beach volleyball event center along with a restaurant and brew pub after county commissioners voted Tuesday to approve rezoning a parcel of land next to Jared's Nursery.

Commissioners were split but passed the measure with some conditions with a 2-1 vote. Board Chairman Casey Tighe voted against the measure with Don Rosier and Libby Szabo siding with the applicant, Loren Bauman, a co-owner at Jared's.

The event center will be built at the intersection of West Bowles Avenue and South Oak Street and include a 27,000-square-foot building with 5,000 of it going toward the restaurant and brew pub, with hours from about noon to 10:30 p.m. The initial plan calls for seven indoor sand volleyball courts.

Dozens of people living near the area came to the meeting to speak against the site, citing concerns about noise, parking, alcohol consumption, lighting and previous offenses by Bauman.

"We are opposed to the events center because of the real impacts to homeowners and the quality of life of the homeowners," resident Al Nemes said during public comment.

The nearby Light of the World Roman Catholic Church was also opposed to the rezoning, stating problems in the past with Bauman and Jared's Nursery. Father Michael Pavlakovich spoke at the meeting stating that he represented 10,000 parishioners who were opposed.

"Loren suggests that a brew pub and volleyball would be great for kids I don't see how alcohol would be great for kids," he said.

Baumann said the center would be good for the community and that local schools could use the courts for volleyball teams or for training for other sports.

Jefferson County staff had recommended that commissioners approve the rezoning based on Baumann changing some of the plans, however the Jefferson County Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend that commissioners deny the rezoning, stating that it was not in conformance with the South Plains Area Plan.

Rosier asked for and received changes that would eliminate the opportunity for Baumann to construct outdoor courts and limit parking lot light structures to 12 feet tall rather than 20.

Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) March 17, 2015

Leapfrog Lighting's new managed LED retrofit service is a unique solution developed for businesses ready to convert to energy-saving LED lighting. The Leapfrog Lighting No-Trouble LED Retrofit bundles a site assessment, savings and payback report, planning, installation, rebate management and warranty management. The simplicity of the program begins with a no-obligation site assessment.

"The No-Trouble LED Retrofit removes the last barrier to entrycomplexity. This is not only about return on investment analysis," explained Stephen Naor, CEO of Leapfrog Lighting. "Of course the savings on electricity costs is critical. However many businesses are held back by the complexity of auditing, planning, installing and managing rebates."

The program was developed after years of working on retrofits with clients. "What we found was that our clients definitely want an LED lighting retrofit, but didn't want to spend time on it," said Mr. Naor. "A No-Trouble managed program allows our clients to focus on their core business."

Reduction in lighting operating costs vary, but Leapfrog's past clients have saved 45-85 percent. Simple payback on the investment can be as short as 4 months, and generally around 2 to 2 years. Most projects are also eligible for government rebates. For example, one Leapfrog retrofit project for a hospital resulted in an 87% reduction in lighting operating costs, payback in only 4 months, government rebates of $7,500 and a projected 5-year cash savings of $153,000.

Most businesses have decided to go ahead and retrofit to LED lighting. According to Leapfrog Lighting's own survey of 200 business owners, 83.5% planned to install LED lighting, or already have. This is strikingly similar to a Commercial Lighting Survey from KRC Research*, where 81% of business respondents are looking to install energy-efficient lighting solutions.

"Reducing complexity for our clients definitely matters," said Mr. Naor. "We found the demand for our expert LED retrofit services increased dramatically after we developed the No-Trouble concept. We're making that model available to everyone. Small business are equally motivated as larger enterprises."

For example, a typical small business case analysis on Leapfrog Lighting's websitean install of 100 LED lamps replacing equivalent halogen bulbs in a retail storethe overall savings per year on energy costs alone would be $2,906, based on 11 cents per kWh. With the entire cost financed, eliminating the $1,800 (approximate) upfront install cost, and factoring in expected electricity company rebates, the net savings per year still works out to $2,414 annually on this example.

Although the Leapfrog Lighting No-Trouble Retrofit can be customized to use any LED bulb or fixture, the program is designed around spec-quality lighting. Spec quality ensures consistent quality and color temperature that enhances work and retail environments. Installed bulbs are manufactured by Leapfrog Lighting and carry 5 year warranties.

LED lamps contain no hazardous gases. Leapfrog Lighting's architectural specification quality bulbs provide consistent, non-flicker, light. The current Leapfrog Lighting line of LED lamps includes PAR20, PAR30, PAR38 and MR16 lamps that provide industry-leading output power through high-efficiency LED source and driver electronics. The innovative lens design creates a pleasing, glare-free light suitable for use in all indoor and unexposed outdoor down-lighting applications. The lamps also deliver the high CRI and ultra-consistent color temperature control critical to multi-lamp applications in hotels, restaurants, schools, office buildings, museums, galleries, retail operations and other public spaces. With a life expectancy of 40,000 operating hours, these UL-registered lamps will provide more than 27 years of service at 4 hours per day.

LED industrial lighting market to reach US$2.366 billion in 2015, says report

Press release, March 17; Alex Wolfgram, DIGITIMES[Tuesday 17 March 2015]

The LED industrial lighting market scale will be worth US$2.366 billion in 2015, and by 2018 will reach US$3.935 billion, according to findings from LEDinside.

Compared with home lighting products, industrial lighting products operate for longer periods, so switching to the energy-saving LED technology is more cost-effective. As a result, LED high and low bay lighting fixtures have become more attractive for industrial lighting users for replacement purposes. Furthermore, LED lighting products have seen additional increases in performance and decreases in pricing. These improvements, together with industrial lighting products' high profit margins, have made industrial applications the most competitive market for LED package and LED luminaire companies for the 2015-2016 period, the firm said.

Among different fixture types, LED high/low bay lighting products are the largest in terms of market share. This category is further subdivided into mining and general applications (or for use in warehouses, gyms, and other indoor settings), making LED high/low bay lights a major focus in the development of industrial lighting market.

LEDinside expects 80W-250W LED high/low bay light products will become the mainstream in the market as improvements are made to the LED technology and to thermal dissipation. Current 80W-250W LED high/low bay lights have around 10,000lm-30,000lm in terms of luminous flux as well as 275-300lx in terms of illuminance. Pricing strategies for high/low bay lights vary according to product lines and market regions as these products have yet to be standardized. China-based makers tend to have lower product prices and fewer product lines. Hence, prices in the China market are expected to only show minor price fluctuations, the firm added.

Leaders in LED industrial lighting include GE Lighting, Cree, and Cooper Lighting, as well as their Japan counterparts IWASAKI and Toshiba, and China LED maker Ocean's King Lighting. Among these competitors, CREE has made advances with high-power LEDs that save costs and simplify product designs. GE Lighting by contrast focuses on LED module adoption and thermal dissipation design. Their luminaires can have a life of up to 100,000 hours.
