2. How LEDs are influencing the
look and construction of
decorative fixtures

3. Decorative lighting fixtures are heavily
influenced by the “light bulbs” they use

4. Different generations of incandescent lamps
have influenced fixture materials and style

5. Different CFLs can greatly influence
fixture forms and scale

6. LEDs, however, are not like light bulbs
They are
starting to
provide new
design options
for traditional
lighting
fixtures

7. Individual LEDs have a hard time
replicating what “light bulbs” do
It’s all about Scale…

8. Individual LEDs by themselves
are not “light bulbs”
• “Light Bulbs” are usually omni-directional;
Individual LEDs have a generally directional
distribution
• Most LEDs require a diffuser, optical lens or other
component to control and direct the light
• Individual LEDs have a high surface brightness
(small bright point source with lots of glare)
• By combining different components together
however, LEDs can become “light bulbs”…
…and other forms as well!

9. How will LEDs be used in
decorative fixtures?
What is the influence
LEDs will have on the
look, construction and
performance of future
lighting fixtures?

10. Decorative fixtures are influenced by
LEDs first seen in commercial fixtures
High Power
LED + Optics
Chip On Board
(COB) LED +
Reflector
Mid-Power
LED + Diffuser

11. A Comparison of LEDs helps reveal the
best potential applications of each
LED Wattage Efficacy Lumens
Mid-Power LED Less than 1/2W 95 - 130 L/W 30 - 35 lumens
High Power LED Approx. 1 to 3W 55 - 115 L/W 60 - 200 lumens
Chip On Board LED More than 10W 95 - 130 L/W 1000 - 4000 lumens

23 x 23mm

12. Multiple mid-power LEDs can become the
new “light bulb” for decorative fixtures
Mid-Power LEDs:
• Can combine to form
many fixture shapes
• Can provide wide-spread
light distribution
• Require only minor heat
sinking
• Inexpensive to produce

13. How are Mid-Power LEDs being used in
decorative lighting today?
• Mid-Power LED + Legacy “Light Bulb” Forms
• Mid-Power LED + High Performance Diffusers
• Mid-Power LED + Optical Light Guides
• Mid-Power LED + Edge-Lit Panels

26. What is next for
Mid-Power LEDs?

27. What is next for
Mid-Power LEDs?

28. What is next for
Mid-Power LEDs?
Flexible, mid- and low
power LEDs embedded
on film carrier

29. What is next for
Mid-Power LEDs?
Standardized and
replaceable LED modules

30. The lighting industry as we know it
is changing rapidly.
For solid-state light sources used in
decorative fixtures…
…the smallest LED is starting to
make the biggest impact!

31. Stay tuned!
