Dear Ben Skigen,
PERSPECTIVE...
That
is our key thought here at Pure Lighting these days. If things aren't
going how you intended or had wished them to be going: change your
goal, change what you are doing, or change your PERSPECTIVE. We all
know that "the economy has slowed down" but how we choose to move
forward knowing that, is what defines the successful businesses from
the ones that are becoming a thing of the past.
We are proud
to be able to assist many different businesses as they set themselves
apart by understanding all the new technologies that progress faster
than the weather changes in Colorado. From induction to the power of
LED's, and the all the restraints and benifits in between, our clients
are never afraid to type us an email or pick up the phone with a silly
question or idea.
Also, with all the crazy mandations coming
in place these days there is more room than ever to educate and sell
green lighting products. The catch usually is getting the end user to
understand the upfront cost and simple payback, along with the constant
change in what's available on the market today.
We urge you to
step outside your comfort zone and get after designing a "green"
project, can you keep the price affordable, watts low and maintain the
ambient affect you desire?
Let us know if we can help....
Let the world change you...and you can change the world...
Truly,
Pure Lighting

High Performance T8 Systems
Energy Savings Solutions for the most common commercial fixtures
When you need to offer energy savings without reducing light output,
Halco has combined a high lumen T8 lamp with a multi-volt, low ballast
factor ballast. The system states a 93.6 lumens per watt and
energy-savings. By employing this combination your customers can save
15% of the input power, while maintaining near equal light levels as
compared to standard T8 lamps and standard ballast systems. This
lamp-ballast system works with common/exisiting T8 fixtures so there is
no need to replace the fixture. With a slim case design, a 5 year
warranty on the ballast and TCLP high lumen lamps.

Lighting as Artwork
Manufacturers are merging form and function to create a happy marriage of art and light
Lighting conscienceness has become more and more mainstream in the United States  in
the last decade. Peoples awareness to the topic can span from spiral
CFLs, Chiluly as a household name and even a past skit on SNL in a
lighting showroom. The days of brass and glass are behind us, as the
public has a worldly access to a plethora of  lighting
design via the world wide web. Fixtures take on personalities of their
own becoming focal and conversational elements in a room. The
utilization of a dynamic and functional design can lend lighting to
become a piece of artwork in its self. Pendants are full of color,
funky unique shapes and sizes. The "Guzuntight" pendant from Jesco
takes its design literally from a used hanky. The juxtaposition of the
"Thinking" sconce/table lamp with the black silouettes against the
white glass and the  frosted
bottom from Jesco's Envisage I collection is also available with
customized screen designs. The simplified design and beauty of
Solavanti's "Open Grill" uses T5 lamps to illuminate the wall beneath
it. Common applications we have seen with this fixture include framing
mirrors and artwork within the hollowed square. Recently in a large
custom home, several "Open Grills" were used up a wall in a cylindrical
foyer creating a unique geometric depth. There is no limits to where
lighting can take us.

LED Lighting Standards Arrive
Scientists
at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in
cooperation with national standards organizations, have taken the lead
in developing the first two standards for solid-state lighting in the
U.S. Standards are important to ensure that products will have high
quality and their performance will be specified uniformly for commerce
and trade. These standards-the most recent of which published last
month-detail the color specifications of LED lamps and LED light
fixtures, and the test methods that manufacturers should use when
testing these solid-state lighting products for total light output,
energy consumption and chromaticity, or color quality.
