In May 2018, the Lighting Research Center (LRC) released a cautionary report evaluating potential energy savings for LED horticultural lighting. The LRC found that energy savings is possible with LED, but one should evaluate products based on application efficiency rather than simple luminaire efficacy. In short, rather than generalizing about energy efficiency, the lesson seems to be that some LED products save energy compared to some traditional products, depending on the product and the application.

A-Light’s AERIAL linear pendant features a precisely engineered micro-structure light guide, which provides direct and indirect illumination. The semi-transparent lens provides a discreet view to the core infrastructure of the luminaire.
