  1. Your Current Lighting DID YOU KNOW? • Fluorescent lighting technology has been around since the 1930s…and has been been known to affect Student Health– especially ADHD and overall classroom performance.

  2. Effects on Our Students Decrease in Student Performance Fluorescent lighting has been known to cause visual and auditory processing issues. LEDs on the other hand have a high light acuity that does not strain the eyes. Increase in Physical Ailments Studies indicate that ADD, ADHD, headaches, dry/itchy eyes and worse can be elevated with fluorescent lighting. In some cases, a misdiagnosis of these ailments have occurred. Case Study Fluorescent vs. LED Calvary Christian Academy, Las Vegas The Result: A Dramatic positive effect on students in the study. Increased Safety Risk The high price of ideal lighting, has caused some institutions to go dark in an effort to curb costs. With LEDs, there does not have to be a sacrifice of light for savings.

  3. Effects on Our Students Case Study: Fluorescent vs. LED Calvary Christian Learning Academy in Las Vegas conducted research after switching some of their classrooms to LED Lights do to a life-threatening medical condition of a young girl. They knew changing the lights would make a difference for this girl, as well as other students and teachers who have a low tolerance to fluorescent light but it wasn’t in their wildest dreams how many benefits could come from installing LED Lights. Over the course of the 2010-2011 academic year, the health of the little girl that inspired this project improved dramatically: Her EPP levels dropped 40 points, her immunity levels increased, and she missed only one day of school. This child, that used to fall asleep during the ride home from school the previous year, exhausted after a day spent under fluorescent lights, has experienced an enormous increase in her energy levels. More amazingly, most of the students in the third and fourth grade classrooms reported academic test scores that were well above average. Improvements in these scores, as well as listening and thinking skills, have caught the attention of several community leaders. Until recently, planners have ignored the importance of natural daylight and how it is needed for proper biorhythm function. Fortunately, this can be corrected by retrofitting the lighting systems with LED technology.

  4. Effects on the Bottom Line Energy Waste & Excess Heat The most common fluorescent tube in use is 32W to 40W- The equivalent LED tube cuts the watts in half and puts out a great deal more light. Constant Bulb Replacement The average lifespan of fluorescent lighting is a fraction of the life of LEDs. How maintenance is handled will be proactive not reactive. Commercial Application Example T8 Fluorescent Tube32W + 4W (ballast)Lumens per watt: 87.520,000 hour life expectancy(much lower when you factor inballast failures and light degradation) 9 hours/day~Annual Cost: $6.41at .11¢ per kWh Ballast Waste & Replacement The ballast used in fluorescent lighting adds an additional 4W to 6W of energy use. LEDs require no ballast. T8 LED Tube18WLumens per watt: 11350,000 hour life expectancy 9 hours/day~Annual Cost: $3.20at .11¢ per kWh

  5. Why LEDs? • Consistent color temperature, light performance and brightness throughout the entire facility for many years. • Significant savings through straight-up wattage savings, maintenance replacement savings, heat savings and disposal fees. • Non-toxic materials that are perfectly safe for human interaction. • Facility maintenance will become proactive instead of reactive – No climbing on ladders several times a month to replace burnt out bulbs.
