Commercial Lighting

More Information about Commercial Lighting

A wide range of commercial lighting choices is available to companies thanks to contractors, distributors and designers. They help by being collaborative partners in the concept and design stages, ensuring that the inevitable project-specific, commercial lighting decisions that need to be made are tailored to the business at hand. That said, relaxed meeting spaces and "task-focused" work lighting are two clear commercial lighting design intents that can be seen in recent high-profile commercial builds.

FAQs

Do recessed LED bulbs create energy efficiency and provide great options for a company short on space?

Yes, recessed LED bulbs offer energy efficiency and are an excellent option for companies with limited space, providing effective lighting without taking up floor or ceiling space.

Why Do We Use AC or DC Power?

The fundamental distinction between AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current) power lies in the direction in which electrons travel. In the realm of electricity, the movement of charged particles, particularly electrons, constitutes electrical current. DC power is characterized by electrons moving steadily in a single direction, resulting in a constant flow. This steady flow is visually represented as a straight horizontal line on a graph, indicating uniform motion from one side to the other. Conversely, AC power features a dynamic current that varies over time, allowing electrons to oscillate between moving forward and backward. This oscillation is depicted on a graph as a sine wave, demonstrating the current's periodic shift from positive to negative direction and back, which is why it's referred to as Alternating Current.

Frequently observed in various applications, both AC and DC power are employed together. Take, for instance, an industrial control cabinet where AC power is typically provided to energize certain components inside the cabinet. These components are chosen because they are unaffected by the alternating nature of AC power. Subsequently, for more sophisticated devices within the panel that incorporate microchips or processors and necessitate DC power to operate effectively, the AC power is converted to DC power.
