Wanted Outdoor Lighting1 5 Warning Signs Your (Lack Of) Outdoor Lighting Is An Accident Waiting To Happen1. When negotiating the steps to your door at night, you’re forced to use your cell phone as a makeshift flashlight.

There’s no question about it – inadequate step lighting is just dangerous. It’s so easy to incorporate lighting into your stairway! Don’t wait until you take a bad fall to make a change. Use this guide to determine what kind of lights are right for your steps.

2. When you’re out of town, so are the house lights. 

Sure, outdoor lighting helps you negotiate dark stairways and makes your house look beautiful, but let’s be honest: It’s not just for you. It sends an important message to outsiders. When you leave home for an extended period of time, you don’t want every passerby to know it. The key here is to look for lights with photocells. Whether it’s a series of small utility lights or a light control socket you can screw your front porch lights into, photocells will enable automated lighting for your home. At dusk, the lights will turn on; at dawn, they’ll turn off again. Continue reading »

gift ideas Great Gift Ideas in Lighting: Part 1

UPDATE 12/6: Our LED Mini Lanterns are now sold out, so I posted another idea to replace it.  Remember, as long as you order before Dec. 17th, your items will be shipped by Dec. 25th.

Once the turkey leftovers are stacked high in the fridge and the out-of-town relatives have all returned home, it’s officially time to start talking about gift giving season.  If you need to find unique ideas for anyone on your shopping list, look no further!  Today’s post is the first in a series of lighting gift ideas

  • The Barbecue Light:

Stereotypically, this would be categorized in the “gifts for men” idea list, but it really just depends on who’s usually in charge of the grilling (Read: who does a better job of not burning the steaks).  In all seriousness, barbecue lights make a great gift for anyone with an outdoor deck area for grilling.  They provide quality task lighting to gauge cooking times after dark, and they also add a nice feature to any deck area.

  • The LED Night Light:

Stick-anywhere, motion-activated, and weatherproof, you can’t go wrong with our LED Battery Operated Night Lights.  They are perfect for lighting a dark stairwell, a bathroom, bedroom, pantry, or even outdoor walkway.  Each order comes in a package of three, making great small gifts or stocking stuffers.

Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!  More Great Gift Ideas are coming soon.

fruitandvegetables main Full Five Little Known Facts About LEDs1) They help you absorb more nutrients from fruits and vegetables.

Because LEDs do not emit ultraviolet rays, they are better options for supermarkets, restaurants, and kitchen lighting.    UV rays decrease nutrient levels in foods, and all other light sources, including natural and artificial, emit UV rays.  In addition, LEDs do not give off heat, keeping food fresher for longer.

2) They never burn out.

LEDs have a lifetime estimate of 35,000-60,000 hours, compared with the 1,000 hour lifetime of incandescent light bulbs and the 8,000 hour lifetime for compact fluorescent lamps.  And even after they reach that limit, they will simply become progressively dimmer rather than immediately burning out.

ApplicationFixedMount220 Tips for Choosing a Barbecue LightWhen the weather gets warmer people start heading outdoors to fire up their grills for that annual holiday cookout or an evening meal.  Even though summer gives us longer days, there are still those times when you may be grilling well into dusk or evening.  Or, depending upon your geographical location, you may be able to enjoy year-round grilling which probably means you have cooked outside often after the sun has set.  When that happens, having a barbecue light to provide quality task lighting for your cooking area proves quite invaluable.  Below are some features to think about so that you can make sure to get the most appropriate barbecue light for your outdoor grilling situation.

POWER

If you have an electrical outlet near your grill, you have the most options.  An obvious choice is a plug-in barbecue light that plugs directly into the nearby electrical outlet.  You could also select a hardwired barbecue light that is connected directly to the electrical wiring powering your outlet.  This is also a choice if you have household wiring in close proximity but not a nearby outlet.  If you select a hardwired barbecue light, we always recommend that you have it installed by a licensed electrician.  If you do not have an outlet or electrical power near your grill, then an obvious and easy choice is a battery-powered barbecue light.

BEAVER FALLS, PA, August 21, 2008 — Pegasus Associates Lighting recently introduced four new LED lighting products to its web site.  One of the new products could help its customers save hundreds of dollars a year on their electric bills.  These new LED light fixtures are energy-efficient, well-designed, long lasting, and come with superior light quality for everyday use in the home or office.  Dr. Thomas E. Farin, President and founder of Pegasus Associates Lighting said, “As the LED industry continues to mature with improved LED brightness, efficacy, and life span, we pride ourselves in offering to our customers only the best LED lighting products on the market.”

Perhaps the most interesting new LED light fixture offered on the Pegasus Associates Lighting web site is a six inch LED downlight module for recessed lights.  This new LED recessed lighting fixture installs easily in most standard six inch recessed housings replacing conventional incandescent and fluorescent downlights.  The fixture uses 50% to 85% less energy, and with a life span of nearly 23 years, companies can save hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of dollars in energy and maintenance costs.
