LED technology has completely transformed the lighting world, and for good reason. LED fixtures are more energy-efficient than traditional lighting. They last longer and offer greater durability. They produce minimal heat while offering a wide range of color options. And they don’t contain mercury, making them a more sustainable option. All these factors add up to long-term cost savings, less maintenance, and a reduced environmental impact.
While the life expectancy of an LED fixture is considerably longer than that of a traditional fixture, it’s still not infinite. Eventually, even the longest-lasting LED fixtures will fail. When they do, most people assume it’s time to discard the fixture and purchase a new one. But that’s not the only (or often best) option. In this article, we’ll tell you how the lighting specialists at Agilix Solutions can breathe new life into legacy LED fixtures and help customers avoid the time and cost of replacement.
Introducing Programmable LED Drivers
Most high-quality LED light fixtures contain a standalone driver. Often, when an LED fixture stops working, the driver is what actually failed. Many people don’t realize these drivers are the only modular parts in an LED fixture, and they are replaceable. With just the wattage and amperage listed in your existing fixture, Agilix Solutions can often program and deliver an LED driver that fits your exact specifications as soon as the same day. Philips Advance SimpleSet programming technology allows us to quickly program LED drivers. reducing downtime and eliminating the hassle of associated ordering, waiting for and replacing fixtures.
Why Choose Programmable LED Drivers Over Replacement?
If your current fixtures came from a discount retailer or a general online store, they are likely disposable when they stop working. But if you purchased high-quality light fixtures from Agilix Solutions, or another distributor, programmable LED drivers may be the better solution for you.
The first and most obvious benefit is environmental impact. Replacing the drivers and allowing your fixture to live on means less waste. If you’re someone who has embraced LED technology, it’s likely that environmentally sustainable practices are a priority to you.
Another reason people choose to replace LED drivers instead of complete fixtures is aesthetics. If you were an early adopter of LED technology and installed a specific fixture throughout your facility or in a specific area like a loading dock, the odds of you being able to find that same fixture today are slim to none. That means either installing a new fixture that doesn’t match the rest of the facility, or replacing all of your fixtures whether they need it or not. Purchasing a programmable LED driver from Agilix Solutions’ lighting experts introduces a third and better option.
