What is Solid State Lighting?  Any type of lighting that uses LEDs, OLEDs (Organic), or PLEDs (Polymer)  Most “white” LED fixtures convert blue light to an approximate white light spectrum

Tungsten Light  Produces light with a filament wire heated to a high temperature by an electric current passing through it, until it glows  Produces a continuous spectrum of light  Has a consistent color temperature of 3200K

Advantages of SSL  Little generation of heat  Long life span  Dimmable with consistent color temperature  Smaller and lighter over tungsten fixtures  More energy efficient

Disadvantages of SSL  Does not produce a continuous spectrum of light  Most fixtures are soft sources  Produces a narrow beam of light  Few offer the option of changing between K  Costly
