SSL Sustainability

We continue striving everyday to develop sustainable lighting by maximizing the lighting quality of today’s interior and exterior environments while minimizing the impact on our world’s precious natural environment.

Solid-State Lighting

What is Solid-State Lighting?

Solid-state lighting (SSL) refers to a type of lighting that uses semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), or polymer light-emitting diodes (PLED) as sources of illumination rather than electrical filaments, plasma (used in arc lamps such as fluorescent lamps), or gas.

The term “solid state” refers commonly to light emitted by solid-state electroluminescence, as opposed to incandescent bulbs (which use thermal radiation) or fluorescent tubes.   Compared to incandescent lighting, SSL creates visible light with reduced heat generation or parasitic energy dissipation.   Most common “white” LEDs convert blue light from a solid-state device to a white light spectrum using photoluminescence, the same principle used in conventional fluorescent tubes.

Canadian Solid State Lighting Manufacturing Leader Develops Innovative, Sustainable LED Lighting Solutions

Solid-state technology has created a significant impact on the lighting industry within the past few years.   Concurrently, Save Energy Lighting Ltd, the manufacturer of Paragon LED platform driven commercial light fixtures, has been evolving into a leader of solid state lighting that designs, engineers and produces a broad range of energy efficient, low maintenance lighting products that use the latest state of the art LED technology for multi-unit residential, retail, hospitality, commercial, industrial, architectural and institutional applications both indoor and outdoor.

“The pace of technology advancement can be dizzying, making it hard to understand your opportunity and risks at any given moment to commit to an investment,” explains Bruce Sharp, Engineering Manager, at Save Energy Lighting Solid State Luminaires division.   “Save Energy Lighting products and people who use Paragon LED platform built into these light fixtures, make the decisions simple, both now and for the long run.   As an LED leader, we engineer even the smallest micro-details within our products addressing the needs of virtually any indoor or outdoor lighting application.”

Not constrained by available module technology in the marketplace, Save Energy Lighting selects reliable Paragon LED platform technology that is at the cutting edge of innovation, testing independently, and extending the applicable life of the product.   With in-house engineering, Save Energy Lighting offers peace of mind providing long-term support for the products developed as the technology continues to advance.   Save Energy Lighting luminaires deliver the finest quality of light with the most energy efficient LED lamping and optic technology available.

“The Responsible Lighting named standard that we uphold is our deep commitment to eco-friendly manufacturing, extensive research and development, energy saving technology, design aesthetics and community involvement,” continued Mr. Sharp.   “With 90% of our products fabricated in zero-landfill facilities where we know all the inputs and throughputs used to produce our products, we can proudly stand behind a 6-year warranty and 50,000 hours on most products.   Save Energy Lighting’s portfolio of LED light fixtures offers real world real solutions and long term confidence.”

Save Energy Lighting is committed to state of the art technology and innovation with LED introductions that included Kit_One™, the world’s first LED Troffer upgrade kit with product life reaching 100000 hours, PargaDe™, the world’s first 10000 lumen linear IP67 fixture in a standard 4-ft form that uses innovative Multi-Chip LED technology and advanced, patent-pending thermal management and heat dissipation; and Kit_HB™ the world’s first 20000 lumen self-ballasted LED high bay upgrade that simply screws into the existing socket.

Save Energy Lighting luminaires utilize the finest LEDs available with 70% light output maintenance life (L70) reaching 100000 hours.   All of them meet the highest ANSI(American National Standards Institute) binning standards for outstanding color consistency and rendering, quality, uniformity and light output.   Paragon LED engines provide designers with a new palette of color and enable digital control to deliver a multi-dimensional, interactive experience, maintaining consistency in color over the service life of a product and the project by delivering the most consistent appearance and optimum aesthetic appeal over time.

The pace of technology advancement can be dizzying, making it hard to understand your opportunity and risks at any given moment to commit to an investment.   Save Energy Lighting products and people who use Paragon LED platform built into these light fixtures, make the decisions simple, both now and for the long run.

The Test

All Save Energy Lighting luminaires must pass a basic test:

  • Does it out perform conventional light sources to meet the application requirements?
  • Does it showcase the best qualities of the technology?

As an LED leader, we engineer even the smallest micro-details within our products addressing the needs of virtually any indoor or outdoor lighting application.

LEDs Are Now Highly Efficient

50% of electric energy is converted to light energy.

LEDs convert 50% of electric energy to usable light.   Compared to 20% with fluorescent tubes and only 8% percent with incandescent light bulbs.   The rest is converted to heat.

What’s In This For You?

You Protect the Environment

  • Consuming less energy results in fewer power plant and green house gas emissions
  • Long life means less trash, therefore reducing the amount of landfill waste
  • LEDs are 100% recyclable, containing no toxic metals, hazardous mercury or halogen gases

You Save Energy

  • LED fixtures use 60 to 70% less energy than most common fluorescent or discharge (metal halide and sodium) fixtures
  • LED fixtures use 90% less energy than incandescent fixtures
  • Cooler operating temperature means longer component life, less energy used for heat dispersion and less energy needed for air conditioning of spaces

You Save Money

  • LED fixtures generally pay for themselves in less than 2 years
  • Return on investment can easily be 10 times the initial cost of the products
  • Minimal maintenance and long life means significant additional savings over the lifetime of the product

LED Lighting Today

LED Lighting is creating a revolution in today’s lighting industry.   Unpleasant harsh blue lights once thought to be an unnatural and undesirable illuminating effect are now a matter of past.   Today, the color temperature of an LED can be selected as warm and inviting, or a cooler output for task-oriented applications.

The small size and low profile and LEDs allow them to be used in spaces that are too small for other lamp sources.   In addition, with LEDs giving off light in a specific direction, they are more efficient in use than incandescent and fluorescent bulbs, which waste energy by emitting light in all directions.

Costs of LEDs have gone down considerably as well, much like the technology of smartphones.

Energy efficient lighting in a sleek silhouette that is now also reasonable priced… Sounds too good to be true, and that is exactly why Save Energy Lighting will continue to offer you real solutions as they become available to fulfill all of your lighting needs!
