LED lighting is currently available in a wide variety of home and industrial products, and the list is growing every year. The rapid development of LED technology leads to more products and improved manufacturing efficiency, which also results in lower prices. Below are some of the most common types of LED products:

  • Industrial and Commercial Lighting: The high efficiency and directional nature of LEDs makes them ideal for many industrial uses – LEDs are increasingly common in street lights, parking garage lighting, walkway and other outdoor area lighting, refrigerated case lighting, modular lighting, and task lighting
  • Kitchen Under-Cabinet Lighting: Because LEDs are small and directional, they are ideal for lighting countertops for cooking and reading recipes – The color can appear more cool or blue than is typically desirable in a kitchen, and there can be some excessive shadowing in some fixtures, so it is important to compare products to find the best fixture for your space
  • Recessed Downlights: Recessed downlights are commonly used in residential kitchens, hallways, and bathrooms, and in a number of office and commercial settings – Department of Energy estimates there are at least 500 million recessed downlights installed in U.S. homes, and more than 20 million are sold each year. Both CFL and LED technology can decrease downlight wattage by 75% or more – Visit the Solid-State Lighting website for a quality comparison of incandescents, CFLs, and LEDs in downlights
