The right bulb can make all the difference.
Energy Star LED
Did you know that Energy Star LED bulbs use 75 percent less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs.
LED Mirrors Add Light to Any Space
There’s a reason LED mirrors are a staple everywhere from backstage dressing rooms to front entryways.
Some integrated LED fixtures use Edgelit technology which positions the LEDs to shine directly into a piece of optical grade acrylic known as a light guide. This light guide collects the LED output and distributes it evenly across the surface of the fixture’s diffuser, creating a uniformly illuminated surface without hot spots and shadows.
