More Room for Improvement in the LED Lighting Business

Posted on May 15, 2013 by LED Waves

LED Waves has moved its headquarters! We’re still in Sunset Park, Brooklyn – just six blocks from our previous location – so outgoing shipping costs and transit times won’t change. (On a personal note, neither will our local lunch options.) The most significant difference?

It's hiding underneath all this stuff.

We more than tripled our workspace, going from 5,600 to 19,000 square feet! This upgrade gives us significantly more room for:

  • dedicated work areas for each department, including a live installation showroom,
  • stocking components for our exclusive line of LED lights made in the USA, and
  • our production team to assemble and test these items on-site.

In turn, this overall expansion allows us to to:

  • handle larger, more specialized LED lighting orders,
  • offer faster turnaround time with stocked items, and
  • leverage this higher demand for American-made energy-saving lights to create more jobs!

We’re still in the process of moving everything from our old warehouse and familiarizing ourselves with the new layout and phone system, so we apologize for any lapses in communication. Once we’re a bit more presentable, stay tuned for a photo tour of the new and improved LED Waves HQ!

The Midtown 2.1 LED Recessed Light Fixture

Posted on May 6, 2013 by LED Waves

The latest news from our Brooklyn manufacturing facility is an update to our most popular LED recessed light. The redesigned Midtown 2.1 is more than meets the eye – in fact, since the external housing and LED board are the same, it won’t meet most people’s eyes.

In alignment with the rule of thermal management applied to all LED Waves’ USA-made products, we added length to the slender blades on the heat sink of the Midtown. This increased surface area provides more vehicle for heat to travel away from the electronics, increasing the life of the entire LED light.

This redesign does slightly increase the height of the complete product, but we thought it was a fair trade for the 5,000 more hours of operation you get out of the Midtown 2.1. Here’s a look at the two downlight fixtures side by side:

The electrical components haven’t changed, so wiring the Midtown 2.1 is also exactly the same – ETL certified for line voltage; 12v driver and dimmable LED power supply needed for dimming installations.

LED Waves will continue to stock the Midtown 2.0 for the time being to meet demands for those who’ve come to rely on its lower profile. Call us at 1(800)986-0169 to confirm quantities for your next large order.

LIGHTFAIR 2013 Recap

Posted on May 1, 2013 by LED Waves

LED Waves has a lot of exciting news to share, which we’ll spread out in the next few posts. We still have to settle in and catch up after LIGHTFAIR International, which took place in Philadelphia last week.

The LFI show floor was bigger than ever this year, with visitors and manufacturers alike buzzing about the industry’s “lumens race”. We stood out with these new LED lights, each the brightest in their class:

The California™ LED MR16 No other MR16 at the show offered this kind of efficacy.
The Rio Grande™ Waterproof LED Strip Superior indoor or outdoor visibility at over 300 lumens per foot! On sale this week at 15% off.
The Andromeda™ LED High Bay We had our brightest version (5700K 40 LEDs) on display. Visitors were encouraged to not look directly into the light.

California-based LED makers Bridgelux showed some of their latest developments, including the soon to be released Vero. A little over 4,000 hours of test data in, this chip-on-board diode promises high lumen output and reliability at high drive currents.

LED Waves was pleased to offer a sneak preview of the highly anticipated Vero inside a fixture – the Owl™ Outdoor LED Wall Pack. This series of floods (10W, 20W, 30W, 50W, 70W, 100W and 200W versions) will be available online soon – once the performance specs at 6,000 hours are confirmed.

If you didn’t get to attend LIGHTFAIR this year, make sure to come back to our site for more on the Vero and other exciting developments in LED technology!

Our LED Lights Featured in Zen Garage

Posted on April 24, 2013 by LED Waves

We’ve added a new LED lighting project to our gallery! Custom garage builder GarageMahals made spectacular use of our American-made LED recessed lights, as well as our brightest LED light strip, in creating Zen Garage: a tranquil 900 square foot space combining Eastern inspiration with some modern flourishes.

The Wall Street Journal included Zen Garage in a recent feature on the growing trend of luxury garages. It came out as the most modestly priced one in the bunch!

Read more about this project in our Showcase, and follow the links for more garage inspiration.

LED PAR Lights with UnPARalleLED Savings!

Posted on April 15, 2013 by LED Waves

LED Waves is refining our product line to emphasize spotlights and downlights. These types of lamps take advantage of the directional light quality of LEDs, making them both energy-efficient AND light-efficient! These underdogs of the lighting world represent the most sustainable way to illuminate a space. That is why we’re devoting the week before Earth Day to our exclusive LED PAR light bulbs!

(PAR lamps are commonly used in recessed lighting cans, track lighting, or on their own to accentuate items in retail stores or galleries. Traditionally used with halogen technology, our LED replacements use approximately 1/8th the Wattage and last ten times longer! [The number after PAR indicates the diameter of the bulb in eighths of an inch.])

This week, take 20% our entire American-made LED PAR series and free shipping for orders over $100. (FedEx Ground, continental US only. Enter code EARTHDAY2013 at checkout online.)

The above items come from LED Waves’ OEM line, which means they’re all built in-house here in Brooklyn, using the latest optimized Cree LEDs. This gives us the quality assurance to cover them with our 5 year warranty.

You can call us at 1(800)986-0169 for factory-direct quantity pricing or special orders – and not just during Earth Month. LED Waves wants to help you make it Earth Day everyday!
