Part of the Solution

Lighting Fixtures Are Built around a given light source. In the case of LEDs, this task is more complex because LEDs are sensitive to heat and require special means to transfer it away. Additionally, the supporting optics and components are more sophisticated than simply wiring a socket to a ballast. As a result, high-performing LED fixtures are typically highly engineered lighting devices. What's more, LED lighting fixtures are typically built around custom light engines that are hardwired into the fixture. The light engine is built to a proprietary design and is permanently integrated into the fixture. As a result, LED fixtures typically cannot be upgraded or serviced; instead, at end of life, the whole unit must be thrown away, which adversely affects the environment and can be a waste of money, particularly if it is a premium or custom product.
