‘Lighting matters, because it is one of the most important aspects in designer LED lights. Affecting the mood, emotion and feel, a single source of illumination can help enhance and elevate beautiful designs to a whole new level.’ -  Muse Design Awards

The custom project completed for dots SPACE in Beverly Hills, California required an approach that was as ingenious at the contemporary co-working space itself. Here, a combination of recessed, partly-recessed, and surface-mounted High-end LED linear lights came together in perfect harmony to create a fancy finished product that is bold enough to make a statement but subtle enough to never detract from the office’s collaborative atmosphere. To keep the look of the Beverly Hills upscale space fresh and cutting-edge, we gave each section its own individual premium LED lighting style. In the common room we placed partly-recessed high-end LED linear lights in a seemingly random pattern, which added premium visual impact to the open workspace. The individual offices, conference room, and kitchen area featured custom premium LED linear lights in a more uniform layout. But it’s the hallway’s surface mounted LED RGBW rectangles that add drama and elegance to this vibrant project.

In this small yet impactful space, our affluent client located in upscale Beverly Hills, wanted white premium LED lighting that could instantly transform into color RGB lighting at the touch of a button. To turn this idea into a colorful reality, we used chameleon platinum LED lighting strips. An ideal option for any fancy residential space in need of an upgrade, they offer high lumen/ft output, controllable RGB color options, and low power consumption. Striking and stylish, these custom LEDs will make even your smallest upscale spaces merely unforgettable.

Zen Garden takes home the gold at the Muse Lighting Design Awards. One of the most prestigious awards to be given out for a lighting design, has been given to one of the finer custom LED lighting designs, if not the finest custom project thus far completed by Centerlight.

The Zen Garden featured distinct Asian influence and was adjacent to a poker room used for entertaining in a multi-million dollar residence in Beverly Hills. Ultimately, the goal was to add a creative custom LED lighting to the already breathtaking high-end architecture present within the exterior landscaping. This shows in the upscale and high-end work Centerlight does with multi-million dollar residences in the Beverly Hills.

Although this upscale project required an immense amount of vision and effort, our team was able to complete it in a short amount of time and bring this affluent customer's incredible concept to life. This project required a relatively small but premium LED custom lighting, using RGB colors that would emit an appropriate amount of high-end light for moderately-sized interior/exterior areas. We also needed high-end designer LED lights that would complement the bold wooden structures that surrounded the garden’s breathtaking statue, located in Bevery Hills, CA.

To illuminate this exterior living space, Centerlight developed a special high-end LED tape called DreamLED shell series. This premium LED tape is covered in a silicon casing so that it can withstand weather conditions. All of the premium LED fixtures used in the project consist of an array of RGB colors, that’s ultimately why we chose VS.6332 custom LED lighting base for this linear fixture.

MAGfinity Runs Wild At Muse Creative Awards!

When browsing for new commercial lighting, you may stumble across expressions like Architectural lighting and Up and downlights, and you may ask yourself.

## What is uplight and downlight?

These two terms are quite simple in their application. Both terms explain the direction that the majority of the light spread is cast. For instance, uplight is light cast from a fixture that goes up to the ceiling, and downlight is light that spreads downward to the floor. The fixture type will determine whether it creates more of one or the other or an equal amount of both. An example of a fixture that only gives downlight is the RTS linear light series and the Custom linear light series. An example of primarily uplight fixtures can be found in wall sconces where the fixture's bottom is enclosed to avoid letting light escape. Of course, many fixtures, such as certain wall sconces and most recessed troffer units, will give a little bit of both directional light flows. But great examples of up and downlight fixtures are the XTR linear light series and the Quattro linear light series.

## Why does it matter?

The matter of downlight and uplight does matter in any space. It should also be noted that each type is better for different reasons. For instance, downlight is ideal for task lighting such as over a workspace, desk, or in the kitchen. Downlight is also great for lighting intended for safety and security purposes such as exterior lighting for doors and walkways. In contrast, uplight is ideal for accent lighting such as wall sconces in hallways or bathrooms, as well as to highlight specific areas of interest in the space. In regards to an architectural up and down pendant light such as the XTR linear light series, it not only highlights a beautiful ceiling, it opens up the space.

A great way to use these two lighting aspects to your advantage is to create layered light. At Centerlight, we believe that every room should have a mix of both uplight and downlight to create a balanced effect throughout the space. Even commercial areas and rooms should have accent lighting (uplight or a mix of both), task lighting (downlight), and general lighting (usually downlight or a mix of both) to create a layered effect. This is because it makes the lighting easier on the eyes and creates a welcoming ambiance and a pleasing appearance.

When understanding the meaning behind uplight and downlight, as well as when and how to use them, it is actually a simple concept.

We hope that this helped inform your decision and help you create a beautiful, well-it area with ease and confidence!

FTC Series Linear Fixture by Centerlight

As you know, Different types of LED linear fixtures that Centerlight offers have different installation process. And regardless of the installer’s experience, it is imperative to read instructions before the installation, especially when the installer work with Centerlight LED linear fixtures for the first time.

We have been experiencing some technical difficulties with overconfident installers that completely ignore some, if not ALL, of the installation steps. Mainly in large projects. On one of the projects with Centerlight recessed lights, the installer completely ignored a simple installation step and did not clean the surface of the internal part of the liner fixture before the LED strip attachment.

The internal surface part was covered with construction dust, and the adhesive side of the LED strip did not adhere sufficiently. Over a short period, it led to the detachment of the entire LED strip. Instead of contacting Centerlight for technical support, the installer decided to apply a random glue on the LED strip’s adhesive side to reattach it. The glue mixed with construction dust did not hold the strip as well. The installer then decided to purchase a new LED strip without discussing the issue with the Centerlight team. Again, without adequately cleaning leftovers of the dried glue and construction dust, the new LED did not hold and detached over a short period of time after their installer had finished construction.

This understandably became an issue for our client, and only then were we informed. After inspecting the light, our installer determined what caused the problem. Centerlight’s installer fixed the problem; however, the client was already frustrated at this time. Centerlight wants to provide an excellent experience from beginning to end, so we encourage you to instruct your installer to follow all installation steps and contact our technical support for any questions.

Conclusion: there is nothing complicated in the installation process, but merely reading instruction can save time and money for the client. All pre-installation steps mustn’t be ignored; otherwise, a straightforward missing step can lead to significant damage.

If you are currently struggling with one of the installation processes, please do not hesitate and contact a Centerlight Inc. representative directly and clearly explain the situation.



Does Your Installer Read The Instruction?

If you are familiar with lighting, you know CRI. If you are shopping for lights for the first time, we recommend familiarizing yourself with it to purchase a product that suits your needs. Color Rendering Index is one of those things that once you learn about it, you can notice the difference right away, and you will notice it used everywhere to highlight, attract, and present, for example, merchandise, product, or art in an accurate light.

What we mean by accurate is; that it can compare to sunlight in terms of showing the full spectrum of color. Researchers use daylight as the benchmark to which to compare the color rendering of electric lights. In 1948, daylight was described as the ideal source of illumination for good color rendering because it (daylight) displays (1) a great variety of colors, (2) makes it easy to distinguish slight shades of color, and (3) the colors of objects around us obviously look natural.

CRI is the most useful measure of a light source’s color characteristics. Generally speaking, CRI measures a light source’s ability to show accurate and natural object colors compared to a familiar reference source, such as incandescent light or daylight. CRI is also used to manipulate and enhance, for example in a grocery store; the light used above the meat counter will make the meat look red and fresh. It will be a different light then the light over the produce, which will enhance the variety of colors, making the spinach look extra green and carrots extra orange.

The maximum value of CRI is 100. Lower CRI values indicate that some colors may appear unnatural when illuminated by the light source. Keeping that in mind, Centerlight’s RTS linear light series, XTR linear light series, and the Quattro series all have a CRI above 95. Different types of day white fluorescent light fixtures have CRI ranged from 62 to 80. The LED light fixtures have CRI ranged from 80 to 97, and they are STILL more energy efficient.

Most manufacturers prefer to use the basic type of LED, which is about 80 to 85 CRI. As most current LED fixtures are installed as a replacement for old fluorescent lighting, the only difference is efficiency. LED lighting consumes much less energy than fluorescent; however, the light quality stays the same.

Centerlight Inc. cares about the customers and only offers advanced, high CRI LED linear fixtures such as the Quattro and the XTR up and down linear light and our Custom linear light series. High end and stylish extrusions with a powerful and impressive light output. Under the light of any Centerlight linear fixtures, any color appears realistically and naturally.

Centerlight Inc. offers high CRI LED tape in linear fixtures and for ambient lighting. LED tape DREAMLED series such as Platinum, Platinum X2, and Chameleon Platinum are 94 CRI and Gold, Gold X2, Basic X2- 2700K, and Chameleon Gold are 97 CRI.

## The Importance of Proper Office Illumination
Office lighting is often a topic of discussion among workers, with personal preferences varying from concerns about harshness to complaints about insufficient brightness over desks. Some employees even attribute health issues to the lighting. It is important to find the right balance of illumination, as both too little and too much light can cause fatigue, headaches, and eye discomfort due to glare and reflection. Since 85% of information is received through sight, eye strain can lead to decreased concentration and other problems. Good office lighting is crucial for employee efficiency as it not only reduces the risk of health issues but also enhances productivity and safety. A comfortable and stimulating working environment can be achieved with the right lighting, which can also result in energy and cost savings.
## Office Lighting Design Ideas
### Allow More Natural Lighting
Natural daylight is an excellent asset for office illumination as it instantly brightens and creates a welcoming atmosphere. Ideally, natural light should be prioritized, with artificial lighting supplementing it to ensure sufficient brightness. The goal is to make employees feel connected to the outside world while working comfortably.
Having adequate daylight in an office can boost productivity and sales by up to 40% and enhance creativity by 15%. Employees who are exposed to more natural light tend to have better sleep, exercise more, and enjoy a higher quality of life compared to those with limited exposure to light.
### Invest in Lighting Control Systems
Lighting control systems are designed to optimize energy usage in office buildings by adapting to the specific needs of each area. By incorporating an energy-saving control system into an office redesign or fit-out, you can maximize the performance and energy-saving capabilities of new lighting installations. These systems not only take advantage of natural daylight but also help save costs by regulating lighting in different areas of the office. Areas that are not frequently used, such as corridors, toilets, and meeting rooms, can benefit from occupancy control sensors that ensure lights are only on when needed. Dimmer control systems offer flexibility, allowing for the adjustment of light levels in meeting rooms with projectors through dimmer switches. Additionally, considering blinds and window dressings as part of a lighting control system can maintain outside views while redirecting sunlight onto the ceiling, making them a smart choice for office redesigns.
### Choose the Right Color Temperature
Yellow or orange lamps are typically warmer and create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for creating a comfortable and relaxing environment. On the other hand, blue and white lights give a cool and refreshing feeling, making them ideal for workspaces where concentration and productivity are key.
The lighting temperature and color should be adjusted according to the time of day to optimize the lighting experience. In the morning, brighter lighting can be employed to help employees stay alert and maintain focus, enhancing their productivity and performance. As the day progresses, softer ambient office lighting can be implemented during noon hours to promote a sense of calmness and relaxation, allowing individuals to recharge and rejuvenate.
By incorporating these variations in lighting throughout the day, it is possible to create a dynamic and harmonious ambiance that caters to different needs and activities. Whether it's a bustling office or a serene home environment, thoughtful consideration of illumination choices can greatly enhance the overall atmosphere and improve the well-being of individuals.
### Divide Your Office into Different Zones
In many workplaces, room dividers or cubicles are commonly used to create individual workstations in open-space offices. However, there are alternative solutions to consider when dividing the office space. One effective approach is to use lighting as a means of division. By strategically placing different types of lighting fixtures throughout the open-space office, you can create distinct zones and enhance the overall atmosphere.
For example, the desktop area may benefit from bright and focused lighting to promote concentration and productivity. On the other hand, the sofa area can benefit from softer and more ambient lighting to create a cozy and relaxed environment. By tailoring the lighting requirements to the specific needs of each zone, you can optimize the working conditions and enhance employee satisfaction.
### Consider Lighting for Every Task
Each area of a modern office requires its own lighting to meet the needs of the people working there. It is crucial to incorporate office illumination into a newly designed office to ensure that employees can work comfortably and effectively. Open-plan offices often have excessive artificial indirect lighting from strong ceiling lights, which can cause glare and over-illumination, negatively impacting people's health and leading to unnecessary energy waste. It is best to layer lighting, combining general lighting with ambient and task illumination, to provide greater control over individual workspaces. For instance, adjustable desk lamps can provide extra light for specific tasks, while adjustable floor lamps allow individuals to customize their lighting.
### Don't Forget about the Task Lighting
Task lighting is essential for creating a welcoming and comfortable office environment. It is common to overlook task lighting and rely solely on overhead ambient lights to illuminate the entire space. However, this can lead to glare and excessive brightness, which negatively impact employee health and result in higher energy costs. The best way to avoid this is to have a well-rounded lighting scheme that includes ambient light, task illumination, and accent lighting. Instead of relying solely on ceiling lights, lighting should be provided in layers to create a more comfortable work environment. One effective way to incorporate task illumination in an office is through the use of desk lamps. If possible, consider providing employees with dimmable LED desk lamps for optimal lighting control and a healthier workspace.
## Types of Indoor Light Fixtures
### Surface Mounted
Surface-mounted fixtures are typically installed flush against the ceiling or wall and are visible. These types of fixtures, such as round lights, are commonly utilized in entryways, hallways, and bedrooms. Round lights, like the ones available in the Round Series, can add a sleek and modern touch to your office space while providing ample illumination.

## How Many Hours Do LED Lights Last?
The lifespan of an LED light bulb is a complex issue that is determined by several factors, not just time alone. While manufacturers may list the lifespan of LED bulbs as 10-15 years, this is not entirely accurate. The actual usage of the bulb plays a crucial role in determining its lifespan.
The frequency and duration of use are usage factors that significantly contribute to the bulb's lifespan. A bulb in a seldom-used room will last longer than one that is frequently used and left on for extended periods. However, other usage factors can also influence the lifespan of LED bulbs. For instance, the temperature in which the bulb is used, the voltage of the electrical circuit, and the overall quality of the bulb can all play a role.
Moreover, the type of fixture in which the bulb is installed can also impact the bulb's lifespan. For example, an enclosed fixture can trap heat and shorten the bulb's lifespan. Therefore, it is essential to consider all of these usage factors when considering the lifespan of an LED bulb.
Despite these variables, the average lifespan of LED bulbs can range from four to seven years under normal usage. As a result, extending their lifespan by employing proper usage habits, such as turning off the bulbs when not in use, is possible. LED bulbs that are used less frequently and turned off regularly can last up to 10 years or more, significantly saving you money in the long run. Moreover, extending the lifespan of your LED bulbs is environmentally friendly because it reduces the number of bulbs that need to be replaced, thereby reducing environmental waste. Therefore, extending the lifespan of your LED bulbs is recommended to save money and protect the environment.

## How Long Will LED Lights Last in Years or How to Determine Lifespan?
If you cannot rely solely on the lifespan stated on the packaging, there are other considerations to remember while determining how long do LED light bulbs last based on usage. Manufacturers often mention the total average hours in their packaging, which could be used to estimate the bulb's lifespan in your home.
For example, if your manufacturer states that your bulb is expected to last 15,000 hours and you use it six hours a day, that's 2,190 hours a year. Dividing the total lifespan of 15,000 hours by 2,190 gives an estimated lifespan of just under seven years. Here are more examples based on usage:
- If a bulb is used for 12 hours a day, it will last for approximately 3.8 years
- If used for eight hours a day, it will last for approximately 5.7 years
- If used for four hours a day, it will last for approximately 11.4 years
Remember, though, that other factors, such as heat exposure, moisture, and the quality of the bulb, can also significantly impact its lifespan.

## What Factors Affect LED Light Lifespans?
LED manufacturers typically provide estimated lifespans based on average ambient room temperature, daily usage, and current level, but deviations from these factors can significantly impact the actual lifespan. The main factors that affect an LED's lifespan include heat exposure, current level, and usage.
### Usage
The lifespan of an LED bulb can vary depending on several factors. For instance, the area where the light is used, the application of the bulb, the temperature it's exposed to, and the frequency of use can all impact its longevity. Even now, the light used, whether turned on and off frequently or left on continuously, can affect its lifespan. Manufacturers provide estimates of the lifespan based on common usage in typical situations, but it's impossible to predict the exact lifespan of every bulb regardless of use. However, if the LED light is used with a similar frequency and in similar circumstances as the estimate, it will likely last longer than if used differently. For example, if the bulb is used less frequently or in a different environment than the estimate, it may last longer, but if used more frequently or in harsher conditions, it may not last as long. Therefore, it's essential to use the bulb according to the manufacturer's instructions and to monitor its performance regularly to ensure that it's functioning optimally.
### Heat Exposure
It is typically 65 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit when LED lights are used at room temperature. Outdoor environments, such as garages and sheds, are also suitable for their use. While LEDs can function in a variety of temperatures, they work best when the temperature remains below 75 degrees Fahrenheit. This is because when exposed to extreme heat, the semiconducting element inside the LED can heat up very quickly, which speeds up the degradation rate of the diodes.
In contrast, cool temperatures can help extend the life of LEDs by keeping the semiconducting element at a moderate temperature. This is because the cooler temperature helps to prevent the LED from overheating and degrading more quickly. Additionally, when LEDs are used in colder temperatures, they can still function properly and do not experience a reduced lifespan, as some people may believe.
It is important to note that while LED lights can be used in different environments and temperatures, they function best when used within their recommended temperature range. This can help ensure the LEDs last longer and provide optimal performance.
### Currents
Each LED has a specific electrical current designed for optimal performance. It is important to use the right current to get the desired brightness and lifespan for the bulb. When a bulb is used with a current that is too low, it may not emit enough light, but it will last longer because it is not being used to its fullest potential. However, when an LED is used with a current that is too high, it may shine brighter than intended, but this will ultimately lead to a shorter lifespan for the bulb. In addition, using too high of a current can cause the circuit and the LED fixture to overheat and burn out, potentially causing damage to the surrounding environment.

## How to Extend the LED Lifespan?
### Turn off the Lights When You Don't Need Them
To extend the lifespan of LED lights, it's essential to turn off indoor lights when not in use. Every second the light is on reduces the LED's lifespan, so it's important to know how long LED lights last. Additionally, you should replace any old or outdated light fixtures with newer, more energy-efficient ones when not in use. Lights can be made to consume less energy this way, which will help them last longer. While switching off and on LED lights doesn't affect their lifespan as much as incandescent and halogens, it is still important to avoid excessive switching. Leaving the light on too long will reduce the bulb's lifespan, so it's best to leave it on for longer periods of time. By taking these steps, you can help to ensure that your LED lights last as long as possible while still providing the necessary illumination for your home or business.
### Create a Smart Home System
You're not the only one who forgets to turn off the lights. Many people struggle with this issue and end up wasting energy unnecessarily. Money and energy can be saved by finding a solution to this problem. Investing in a smart home system allows you to easily set schedules for your lights, thermostat, and other devices, making your home more energy-efficient and convenient. Additionally, you can control your devices remotely, so you can turn off your lights even when you're not at home.
Homeowners are becoming increasingly interested in smart home systems, and for a good reason. These systems offer a range of benefits, including increased energy efficiency, improved security, and enhanced comfort. You can control your lights, thermostat, and other home devices with a smart home system from any smartphone or tablet.
### Use Lighting with a High-Quality Heat Sink
A heat sink is a component that is commonly used in electrical devices, such as LED lights, computers, and cellphones, to absorb and disperse excess heat, cooling the internal components and circuitry of the device. As a result of the better design of the heat sink, the greater the ability it has to absorb and disperse heat when the light is being used, LED lights with high-quality heat sinks typically last longer than LED lights with standard or low-quality heat sinks. In hot climates, these premium bulbs are an excellent option due to their ability to protect the circuitry from high ambient temperatures.

## Conclusion
In summary, LED light fixtures and bulbs are the preferred choice for lighting due to their energy efficiency and longevity. They offer several advantages over traditional bulbs, including more attractive designs, higher control over the light output, and energy efficiency. However, the lifespan of an LED bulb is impacted by several factors, such as heat exposure, moisture, and usage patterns, which must be taken into consideration when estimating its longevity. By implementing simple measures like turning off lights when not in use, investing in a smart home system, and using lighting with a high-quality heat sink, the lifespan of LED bulbs can be extended significantly.
