This week, we have a Waves of Savings deal for both large and small lighting projects. We’re focusing on the Midtown 2.1 LED Recessed Light: a <9 Watt ceiling fixture equivalent to a 50 Watt halogen downlight. Designed and assembled with care in the USA by LED Waves, this exclusive product comes with our 5 year warranty.

Now through Sunday, May 26th, 2013; take 15% off the Midtown 2.1 LED Recessed Light. Enter coupon code WAVES at checkout online to apply this discount.

And the Waves of Savings don’t stop there! Order 50 or more Midtown 2.1 fixtures and get the crazy low price of $29.95 a unit. To take advantage of this one-time offer, call our sales team at 1(800) 986-0169.

We can’t wait for everyone to try out our new & improved design. We’re extremely pleased by the performance of this recessed light, and we think you will be, too!

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!

LED Waves is jumping back into weekly Waves of Savings! Today through Sunday, May 19th, 2013; take 15% off the Dallas™ Dimmable LED PAR20. Enter code WAVES at checkout to activate the limited-time discount on this bulb.

Part of our exclusive line of LED lamps made in the USA, the Dallas™ PAR20 is a <9 Watt replacement for a 75 Watt halogen. Each one is built with 7 ultra-efficient Cree XB-D LEDs.

As designing and assembling this light bulb in-house removes a few middlemen, the Dallas™ Dimmable LED PAR20 is a great deal even at its regular price. This week’s sale price of $30.55 will help you hit your ROI even faster!

By replacing a single 75W halogen spotlight with the Dallas™ Dimmable LED PAR20, the average user will

• break even in a year and 9 months (avg. operation 6hrs/day),
• save over $200 in electricity (avg. rate of .12/kWh), and
• avoid 10 bulb replacements (typical halogen lifespan: <3,000hrs)

…over the lifetime of this Department of Energy LED Lighting Facts® Product! Use our handy LED Bulb Savings Calculator to see exactly how much your home or business can save with this week’s sale, or bookmark it for future Waves of Savings.

We apologize for the lack of updates! LED Waves is moving on up to an LEDeluxe apartment in the sky. We’ll tell you more about our new & improved space next week, when we’ll (hopefully) be more settled in.

In the mean time, we’re cooking up a new LED lighting deal. Can you guess what it is?

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.

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!

We’re capping off a busy Earth Month with huge savings for DIYers! Now through May 3rd, take 15% off all our LED light bars and flexible strips. We boast the best quality selection in the industry, which is why countless specifiers only come to us for high end projects involving signage, cabinets, shelves and bar lighting.

The Broadway is our most popular rigid LED light bar due to its low cost and extreme user friendliness. Cuttable every 3 LEDs (30 LEDs per 19” bar), up to 20 units can be daisy-chained together and run off of one 12v power supply. ETL listed to UL 2108 ; available in warm, neutral, or cool white.

Our highest selling flexible LED strip is the Amazon Waterproof. With its 3M tape encased in IP64 silicon, this product lends itself to many indoor and outdoor lighting projects. The Amazon is available in 19.5 foot segments in warm, neutral or cool white; as well as red, green, blue, amber, or orange.

No cutting or soldering capabilities? No problem! Call us at 1(800)986-0169 for customizations on any LED Waves product.

We’d also like to remind you that our Free Shipping offer expires at the end of this month, so you have until tomorrow (April 30th, 2013) to apply coupon code EARTHDAY2013 on orders over $100. (FedEx Ground, continental US only.) Thanks for helping LED Waves make a huge difference this Earth Month!

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.

We’ve been celebrating Earth Month all April, but it’s not too late for you to join LED Waves in going green! After all, an earth-friendly decision you make today can do good for years to come.

We’re making it easier for you to go green with special online deals all week long. Today through Sunday, April 28th 2013, take 15% off our entire selection of LED lights and supplies online. This discount is applied automatically at checkout, and may be combined with our offer for free shipping over $100. (FedEx Ground, continental US only. Apply coupon code EARTHDAY2013.)

The savings don’t end there! Over the course of its useful life (upwards of ~35,000 hours) an LED PAR light bulb will

• save up to 80% of electricity used by an equivalent halogen, and
• prevent 9 bulbs worth of packaging from entering the waste stream.

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.)

• Houston PAR16/MR16-GU10: Was $24.95 Now $19.95
• Massachusetts PAR36/AR111-G53: Was $59.95 Now $44.75
• Dallas Dimmable PAR20: Was $35.95 Now $28.75
• Chicago Dimmable PAR30: Was $43.95 Now $35.15
• New York Dimmable PAR38: Was $69.95 Now $55.95

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!
