Compact Fluorescent Lamps Converting & Re-Lamping

The energy saved, and the impact on our environment, are excellent selling points for this very versatile lamp. It is now available in both wattage's and physical sizes to adapt to nearly any lighting application. The screw base compact fluorescents easily interchange with standard incandescent bulbs (we stock shade and harp adapters to help accommodate these lamps), and many lamps and fixtures are easily converted to the less expensive "plug-in" compact lamps. We have all of the components necessary to make these conversions for you. And, there are now dimmable compact fluorescent lamps available to further energy savings and global environmental impact.

We stock all of the necessary components to convert your lamps and

fixtures to accommodate any style compact fluorescent lamp, including screw base, plug-in

and dimmable.

MR-16 & Halogen Lamps

These highly efficient lamps provide a crisp white light preferred for reading, illuminating objects and wall hangings as well as superb color rendering for general illumination. We can retrofit most lamps and fixtures to take advantage of this superior lamp design. Halogen lamps are an ideal replacement to incandescent PAR lamps that have been made obsolete by EPACT. Federal law has required that light sources produce a higher efficacy (lumens per watt), driving designers to seek out halogen alternatives to standard incandescent lighting. Not only is halogen the best solution for many outdated incandescents, it's often the preferred choice over incandescent lamps by many lighting professionals. "Many applications, such as retail, call for the white light of halogen, especially when daylight and cool color schemes factor into the lighting design," said Ann Kale, Ann Kale Associates, New York City. In fact, her clients are requesting halogen more and more. "Not only are they attracted to the crisp light that halogen produces, they appreciate the fact that halogen delivers a higher candlepower with a lower wattage," she added. "Halogen sources have a higher efficacy than other incandescent sources, and they also maintain that efficacy," said Bill Middlebrook, Product Manager, Halogen Products. "Standard incandescents lose about 30% of their light output by the end of lamp life, while lumen maintenance in a halogen source is close to 100%."
