Terralux Battles Commoditization By Integrating Smarts With LEDs

LED lighting technology has advanced in leaps and bounds in the last few years. Less than a decade ago, LEDs were both ineffective and expensive. Not only did they have low output, but they were expensive to boot. This is why, at least historically, most of the market for refitting of existing lights went to Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs). Fast forward to today and LEDs have greatly improved in efficacy, now demonstrating some of the highest light outputs, measured in lumens per watt, of any lighting type available. At the same time, the economics of LEDs are now comparable with other light sources. These changes have resulted in LEDs displacing CFLs as the choice for organizations looking to save money and deliver an environmentally friendly lighting alternative.
