LEDs versus Fluorescent both have their place

We've been seeing a rising tide of push-back on LEDs, and Elizabeth Donoff's commentary, It's What You Say and How You Say It, in the April-May 2011 issue of Architectural Lighting has done a great job of explaining why. As it happens with every new technology, the ultimate goal seems to be absolute domination, but, as Elizabeth points out, there is both a pro- and a con-list when it comes to LEDs and lighting. We strive to keep that balance here - always asking "if it can be done better, quicker, and less costly with fluorescent - then use a fluorescent". That helps us to focus on exploring the "I wonder if..." challenges with LED. LEDs have their place, Fluorescents have their place, and there still is no replacement for a nice campfire (to all our colleagues working with LEDs - please don't try). The fun for us, our customers, and our partners is to work together to find the perfect fit every time (and let our products do the talking).
