    The LED Advantage - Understanding the New Technology and Using It As a Lighting Solution In Your ProjectsJeff Dross from Kichler LightingTue, November 8, 2011 @ 05:30 PM

    LED lighting is going to change the way we illuminate our living spaces, but because it is reasonably new technology for residential use, many misconceptions and half-truths are being offered to the designer, builder and consumer. The one hour talk will provide a brief history of why energy efficiency is important, an overview of the technology, promote some basic knowledge and dispel some of the myths. The participant will learn the financial realities of LED use and how they compare with the other common under cabinet lighting sources. The listener will walk away with some key questions to ask prospective LED suppliers and they will gain an insight into where this new light source can best be used in the home.

    Good lighting is key to any successful kitchen or bath design. Understanding the new technology and how to best use it will improve all future projects.
