Energizer Household Lighting

Lessons in Lighting

The world of household lighting is advancing quickly. Roll over the image to see how we're leading the way.

LED Technology

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are more efficient, produce less heat and waste less energy than incandescent bulbs. They never need to be replaced and cost less money over time.

Energizer Household Lighting products are built to last, with LEDs from tier-one manufacturers. They're a great investment for the long haul.
Thermal Management

Any device that uses electricity, including lighting fixtures, can generate some heat. This can shorten a product’s life and reduce efficiency, leading to higher electricity bills.

Energizer Household Lighting products carefully integrate modern design and materials to manage heat and prolong product life. Our heat-sink technology makes our products safe to the touch.
Superior Optics

Advanced lighting products use carefully crafted optics – such as lenses and reflectors — to direct and shape the light output. This results in a more efficient design, because little light is wasted.

Energizer Household Lighting products are precisely designed, using the finest optics. They offer focused, efficient light exactly where you need it.
Quality Materials

Materials play a key role in modern lights products. Specialty metals and plastics prevent excess heat buildup, allowing electric current to flow more freely, reducing waste.

Energizer Household Lights are made with the ideal combinations of modern materials. They’re designed to be beautiful, efficient and durable, making it easy to find the right one for any application.
Advanced Circuitry

Modern lights use micro-processing circuits to control all functions. Better components provide more consistent operation and performance, and don't waste electricity when powered off.

Energizer Household Lighting products incorporate advanced circuitry. We use the highest quality components, ensuring long life, keeping your long-term costs down.

Light Bulb Legislation

The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 is bringing about some big change. It's important to know how you'll be affected.

Starting in 2012, all general-purpose light bulbs from 60-100 watts must be 30% more energy-efficient than current incandescent bulbs. Products not meeting this standard will no longer be manufactured, according to the following schedule: light-bulb Fortunately, new technologies make it possible to create light using far fewer watts of electricity. So moving forward, you'll shop for your lighting in lumens (light output) rather than watts. A good rule of thumb is to divide lumens by ten to approximate the wattage of the bulbs you'll be replacing.

There are two key metrics when measuring light output: lumens and lux. Lumens measure the brightness of a light while lux measures how many lumens are in a square-meter area. The larger the lumens and lux values, the greater the power of the light and brighter it appears.

Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) describes the warmness or coolness of white light. It's measured in units of kelvin, or K.

Warm white light measures 2700-3000K. It's better for enhancing skin tones, making it perfect for entertainment or relaxation spaces.

Warm to neutral white light is 3500-4000K. It’s well suited for tasks that require distinguishing between colors and detail work, such as in a design studio.

Cool white light is greater than 4000K. This resembles fluorescent lighting. It's used mostly for offices, showcases and retail environments. cl-kelvins

To choose the best lights for your home, follow these guidelines:

The quality of light affects how colors look to your eye. The Color Rendering Index (CRI) measures how true colors appear under white light sources. It ranges from 0-100, with a CRI of 100 considered "perfect." Florescent lighting typically has a CRI of 70, giving colors a slight tinted look. To avoid this, look for a CRI between 80-100, which will ensure natural colors and tones.
