Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Kelvin scale for lights?
The Kelvin scale for lights allows us to evaluate a bulb’s color temperature measured in degrees of Kelvin on a scale between 1000 to 10,000. This dictates the look and feel of each individual bulb. Typical Kelvin temperatures used in commercial and residential environments range from 2000K to 6000K.
Can my lights do ‘warm white’?
Yes. We have lights that are IC coded to provide ‘warm white’. This is the more yellowish white light that would be roughly 2700 on the kelvin scale of light temperature. A 5000K light will be more like bright daylight.
What are the areas that you operate in?
We are a Cochrane based company and focus on doing business locally in Cochrane plus NW, and SW Calgary down to highway 8. We do service other areas of Calgary plus surrounding areas however a small fee is charged due to the travel distance outside of our local service area.
What is IC coding?
IC stands for Internal Circuit. Each LED bulb has a specific IC code. It is this IC code that allows the controller to control the light.
Can I install combinations of the different lights?
Yes. Our lights can be installed together in different combinations provided they have the same IC coding.
What is the life expectancy of the bulbs?
The LED bulbs have an average life expectancy of 50,000 hours.
What is an IP rating?
IP stands for ‘ingress protection’ which is a universally accepted measurement of varying degrees for dust and liquid resistance. An IP67 rating means that the lights are 100% protected from dust, and can withstand temporary immersion in water for up to 30 minutes. IP68 means the lights have 100% protection from dust and are protected from continuous immersion in water.
How long does the installation take?
Installation time depends on the linear footage and complexity of the install as not all houses are created equal, but generally speaking, an average install can be completed in a single day.
