A New Level Of Lighting Provided By LED Troffers


By Shanna McNeil


In perhaps the most famous book of all time there is a very popular phrase, let light come forth. The phrase was given by someone with supreme authority while in the process of creating everything that exists. The created light was and still is one of perfection. Whether the light personalizing day time or that which removed the mystery of the nights, it is perfect. Humans have been trying to recreate that light in various ways. From candles and torches to lamps and bulbs the path is obvious. LED Troffers are definitely the closest to lighting perfection.

Troffers are ultra thin fixtures that are able to be installed flush with ceilings. Instead of the industrial feel of bulky and protruding light fixtures, troffers are able to create a smooth look and calming feel. This gives ceiling architecture much more flexibility.

Light emitting diodes, or LED, is a type of light which shines brighter and lasts longer than the traditional fluorescent and incandescent bulbs. The sources of light require less current and voltage while providing lower levels of radiant heat. The give off no ultra violet rays. They can withstand significant levels of vibration and shock. They can be formed easily into any shapes. They have grown above and beyond just being used for flashlight bulbs.

When these are combined with trough fixtures it becomes a revolutionary approach. It becomes an energy efficient and ergonomically sound product. It promotes a high flair for design. It serves as another area where cost can be reduced without sacrificing any quality.

Troffers can provide higher levels of control. They can be programmed easily to automatically turn off, on, or change intensity. This serves to reduce costs even further. It also serves as a vital security feature. For companies it could help remove the potentials of liability from trips and falls.

An LED Troffer can be made in varieties of shapes. Rectangular types are popular. The shape helps provide the best lighting. Circular types however could be created as well as any other that could be thought of. The understanding is that sometimes design priorities will be greater than those of lighting.

It is comforting to designers, builders, and consumers that these have multiple ease installations. They can be easily installed in new home and business constructions. They can also be easily retrofitted into existing areas. The current wiring can be adjusted but would not have to be changed since it was specified for higher current and volts. Because of the reduction in radiant heat, these can also serve as wall and floor panels. This exponentially increases the design capabilities. And with the reduced energy use, installing them in areas other than the ceiling keeps costs in perspective.

It is interesting how lighting technology has advanced in the last century. Connecting light fixtures and sources is being optimized through using LED Troffers. It is likely this is now the leading standard. As the approach seeks continual optimization one may think it plausible to soon hear the saying, let LED Troffers come forth.
