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 softer white light between 2700-3000 on the kelvin scale of light temperature. A 6000K light is similar to bright daylight.
What are the areas that you operate in?
We are a Cochrane based company and focus on doing business locally in Cochrane. We do service other areas within Calgary and surrounding areas, however a small fee is charged due to the travel distance outside of our local service area. Please contact us via email at info@aspenled.ca and we can direct you to one of our partners who install our lighting systems.
What is IC coding?
IC stands for Internal Circuit. Smart LED lights have specific IC coding. It is this IC code that allows the controller to talk to 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. All of our lights have an IP68 rating.
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. Generally speaking, an average install can be completed in a single day.
