Conventional incandescent reflector bulbs leak light out near the socket and some through the coating. This ends up bouncing around inside the recessed fixture and ultimately getting turned into more heat. A great thing about the LED lights, like the Cree CR6/EcoSmart, is how efficiently the light is directed downward as intended. Almost no light is wasted going unintended directions. So, that 575 lumens really can perform as well as a leaky and energy-hogging 60 or 65W incandescent reflector bulb.

We also hope to see more LED street lights, not only in Asheville, but in other US cities. Nikki Geoff,

]]> Comment on 5 Reasons why you should light your hotel, motel or restaurant with Cree LED Lighting by Lighting Geek http://www.creeledrevolution.com/blog/2011/11/14/5-reasons-why-you-should-light-your-hotel-motel-or-restaurant-with-cree-led-lighting/comment-page-1/#comment-6444 Lighting Geek Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:24:14 +0000 http://www.creeledrevolution.com/blog/?p=1342#comment-6444 Absolutely... I've been in too many restaurants and hotel breakfast areas lit by compact fluorescents, or worse, 6500k daylight bulbs. As CFLs are missing pure red in their spectrum. Add poor lighting design to the mix and you just have a space that feels cold, bland, sterile, unwelcoming, and where food looks unappetizing. This is not good for the restaurant's bottom line. Food lit with Cree TrueWhite technology should look just as appetizing as under good ol' energy-hogging halogen lamps, thanks to the addition of the saturated red LEDs in the light engine. Brilliant thinking, Cree! I hope more establishments adopt Cree's lighting as part of an overall approach to energy savings and improving how the customer feels. Lighting is a very powerful thing, after all. Absolutely… I’ve been in too many restaurants and hotel breakfast areas lit by compact fluorescents, or worse, 6500k daylight bulbs.

We're so used to seeing poor color rendering in those pink/orange sodium vapor, or even some of the new harsh bluish-white LED street lamps. That looks great! Hope to see more.

The government is not doing enough, but that's my opinion. Some city's are pioneers such as Asheville. We are still hoping for more LED in the near future.
