Warming Up the Night

Light is so important. Some aspect of light is the subject of every blog post we’ve written, and it’s certainly mentioned in all of the product descriptions on 1000Bulbs.com. But darkness is important too. Achieving a balance between light and dark can make the biggest impact in exterior lighting. Being respectful of the darkness and reducing light pollution is sometimes just as important as energy savings. Of course, you want to light beautiful, architectural buildings during evening hours and provide safe passage to and from events and gatherings. However, sometimes the brighter the exterior lights, the harsher and more unappealing those structures and events can become. LED options for outdoor lamps are sometimes tricky . . . replicating the light intensity coupled with the warmth and softness of traditional HID technology like high-pressure sodium can be difficult… until now.

Thankfully, innovation is always providing solutions. If you’ve employed high-pressure sodium and have grown fond of its soothing color and strong radiance, you need to explore one of the most popular emerging categories in LED: 2200 kelvin fixtures. Not only do they come in a variety of configurations including parking lot lights, wall packs, landscape & area floods, and corn bulbs, they also outlast and outperform established HID counterparts in every way. Because these leading-edge LEDs last longer, maintenance costs are greatly reduced in addition to the already lower operating cost of LED. They are designed to supply the same warm and welcoming light as your old high-pressure sodium fixtures, gently illuminating the rich colors of landscaping foliage and accenting the earthy tones of adobe and stucco construction. The glow cast by 2200K lights is easier on the eyes, making them an ideal choice for lighting near walkways, fire pits, and hot tubs. They also create less light pollution and are commonly used in parks, zoos, beaches, and hospitality and residential communities where lights stay on all night.

If you’re ready to warm up your night lighting and cool down your energy consumption, consider the many benefits of retrofitting your exterior HID lighting to 2200 kelvin.
