What is UV lighting?
Read MoreIn our recently published post, we discussed Nebraska Medicine’s decontamination process for PPE using ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI). You may be wondering what UVGI is, and how ultraviolet lighting is able to disinfect a wide variety of materials and objects. Below we'll answer some basic questions in regards to the technology. If you would rather cut to the chase and inquire about how to obtain UV disinfection lighting for your building or facility, click here.
Read MoreOur new blog series, LED Lighting Everywhere, will take you through a facility type in its entirety and explain each opportunity for LED lighting in that space. First up, grocery store lighting and supermarket lighting.
Read MoreLet's address the first question first. The short answer? Yes, some LED light fixtures are explosion proof. The key word here is some. You have to select the correctly classified LED luminaire for it to be explosion proof for your particular hazardous location.

Read MoreToday's LED lights are safe, effective, and so energy-efficient that there's no comparison with traditional lighting methods. But why do some people have concerns about health? We've addressed some common complaints about LEDs below.
Read MoreThe benefits of LED lighting (energy savings, maintenance reduction and savings, lighting performance improvement...) are now well-documented. But once you make the choice to implement LED lighting, where do you even start? You need our newest resource, a webpage all about Project and Product Criteria.
Read MoreYou may have seen that we recently published a new website services page, Requests for Proposals, or RFPs. This is not a new service offering for us at Stouch Lighting, but its uptick in popularity, as far as generating and responding to RFPs, prompted us to create the page to provide customers and potential customers with the guidance they need to understand how we can help with RFPs. (This is similar to our new Value Engineering services page, which we also debuted in conjunction with this blog post defining the sometimes confusing term.)
