Why do you need to replace fluorescent troffers to LED troffers?

According to the US Department of Energy (DOE),two out of three lamps in commercial buildings were fluorescent and mostly fluorescent lamps were installed in troffer luminaires before 2012, but the rapidly advancing technology of LEDs posed a challenge for fluorescent lamps. The DOE estimates that LED troffers increased in sales. At Access Fixtures, sales of fluorescent troffer sales were once quite common. The troffer market is now dominated by LEDs.

Fluorescent troffer lights are a common source of office lighting, and with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) setting higher regulations and standards for lighting, fluorescent tubes are more energy efficient than ever. However, fluorescent troffers have a shorter lifespan and higher Lumen depreciation than LED Troffers. As Lumen output decreases, the tube lights must be replaced to not interfere with worker productivity. Fluorescent troffers may also suffer from ballast failure.

OKTLIGHTING.COM LED troffer , last longer than fluorescent fixtures and do not depreciate Lumens as quickly, so they require less maintenance. You can easily find LED troffers that maintain at least 70% of the initial Lumens for years. LEDs also consume less power than other lighting alternatives to help you save money on energy costs. Our LED troffers operate off line voltage via direct wire installation to eliminate issues with ballasts.

OKT LIGHTING launched a TRANSPARENT indirect recessed troffer with a branded design in transparent light guide, the light is more softer and architectural. It is an ideal choice for offices, schools, hospitals and retail marchandising areas applications.

Transparent Design

Through a laser etched, transparent acrylic light guide, the light in TROFFER is emitted in a TRI-LENS look, with energy savings and modern aesthetics.  

Lighting designers are particularly interested in the unique transparent and indirect desgin. The transparent light guide eliminates plain ceiling, narrow space concerns and allows for a perfect fit in ceiling to complement specific architectural design ambitions of options.

What is the differences?

One of the most unique features of indirect recessed troffer is the housing and light guide is visually separated with a non-folding housing design; While the standard troffer in the market are all with fold-shape housing and in-transparent light guide.  

Indirect recessed troffer is distinguished from the transparent diffuser and the micro-prismatic panel diffuser of the 1^st generation. Indirect design makes there is no more led chips shielded with a micro-prismatic /milky plate diffuser. It has simplified the triditional troffer with  tri-lens louver appereance; So the key difference between our design and others ： the troffer makes your ceiling more skyler when a darker aesthetic is desired.

What Light Luminaire Do You Need in A High Space?

There are many kinds of lighting fixtures in the market, such as Metal Halide Lamp(MH), High pressure sodium(HPS), Fluorescent, LED lighting, and other conventional bulbs. What’s the appropriate one of your gymnasium, warehouse or industry places?

It’s no secret that led lighting technology has surpassed capabilities of conventional lighting in important ways.

Their major drawbacks are a long time to warm up (sometimes 15-30 minutes),expensive to maintain, flicking on and off, and much of the energy wasted as heat.

Their benefits include cheap selling price, the high energy efficiency(low operating costs), and the relatively long lifespan. HPS lighting technology retains these advantages over most conventional bulbs, but they lose on all three counts to LED lighting.

Downsides include the presence of toxic mercury(which requires certain waste disposal procedures),decreased lifetime if switched on and off, and requiring ballast to stabilize the light..

Compared to conventional lighting, LED light fixtures have a lifespan that is 4-40 times longer than many conventional bulbs, and score better in color rendering index(CRI), Correlated Color Temperature(CCT), and Foot Candles. What’s more, LED lights require less energy to provide the same output.

Now, if you decide to choose a led light for your large space, there is a suitable light for you.

Linear High Bay, released by OKT Lighting recently, is ideal for large settings that need bright illumination and Long-lasting quality. What superior features does it have than other lights?

High efficacy: The unique modular design with high efficiency up to 130 lm/w meets the requirement of stable and bring luminaire for your large applications, including factories, warehouses, gymnasiums, recreation center and hangar lighting.

Maintenance Cost Reduction: Long-lasting quality is backed by DLC 4.2 qualified and ETL certified, as well as 5 years warranty from OKT manufacturer. Excellent quality means the less risks of replacing the broken lighting fixtures in high ceilings.

Various Options: LED high bay fixtures provide 120-277V input voltage and 0-10V dimming, also offer options of 2FT 90w,2FT 135W,4FT 178W and surface, pendant and suspending mounted installations to satisfy your individual demands.
