uses for a solar LED light is as street lamps, flood lights, or yard lights.
Lighting Fixtures by Bulb Types
Elliott Electric Supply offers an array of lighting fixtures, which can be located on ElliottElectric.com.
Different lighting fixtures may require different lightbulbs. Many light fixtures have specific lighting applications and uses, but can use any bulb type. However, some
light bulbs work better for particular lighting fixtures.
This section discusses the four most-common light bulb types, how they rate in efficiency, and their fixture options from
ElliottElectric.com.
LED Lighting Fixtures and Lighting Parts
LED light fixtures use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as
semiconductor devices and use 75% less energy (when compared to traditional lighting). LEDs are available in multiple shapes, shades, and controllability. They are
made without hazardous materials, have an average life of 9-22 years, and feature exceptional efficiency, lifespan, and versatility. Great for emergency lighting
applications, LEDs are the most eco-friendly lamps available.

Fluorescent Light Fixtures and Lighting Parts
Elliott Electric offers many popular options of fluorescent light fixtures. Fluorescent light fixtures
use fluorescent tubes, which are more energy-efficient than halogen and incandescent lamps. They consume less energy and produce very little heat, making them a great option for
indoor lighting. Fluorescents deliver concentrated, bright light for laundry and utility rooms, as well as commercial and industrial spaces. Available in black and colored lights for
personalized spatial design, these bulbs can last up to 20K hours.
Fluorescent light fixtures must be accompanied by a light ballast. A light ballast, or electrical ballast,
is a device that regulates the current flow through a light. Fluorescent lamps must use ballasts to stop
uncontrolled current flow so as to prevent self-destruction. Elliott Electric Supply offers both fluorescent ballasts and fluorescent tube lights.
Spiral compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs are bright enough to use in hospitals,
retail stores, and schools. They are spiral-shaped and need a ballast to be integrated for use. In contrast, a
linear fluorescent tube light has an integrated ballast, has connectors
on both ends, and is tubular in shape. These have multiple uses and can be used for commercial or residential needs.

HID Light Fixtures and Lighting Parts
High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights are ideal for large areas where more visible light and energy efficiency are desired. By using an electric current
to activate noble gases inside the bulb, HID light fixtures illuminate with reflectors to yield greater light-output. Typically found in large indoor or
outdoor areas like gymnasiums, warehouses, roadways, and parking lots, HID light fixtures have multiple subtypes depending on the desired light intensity,
color, and energy efficiency. The three subtypes of HID lightbulbs sold by Elliott Electric Supply are mercury vapor, high pressure sodium, and metal halide.
Mercury Vapor HID Fixture
A mercury vapor HID fixture lamp has a lifespan of about 24K hours of high-intensity illumination; they come in a range of colors including ultraviolet/violet,
blue, green, and yellow. Mercury-vapor light fixtures are most commonly used in warehouses or as streetlights.
High Pressure Sodium Light Fixture
High pressure sodium (HPS) light fixtures are used in outdoor lighting, like roadways and parking lots, or for indoor gardens with a lamp lifespan of about 24K
hours; they illuminate first as a pink light then shift to orange.
Metal Halide Light Fixture
Metal halide light fixtures produce bright-white illumination; their lamp lifespan ranges from 6K to 15K hours. They are found most-often in
car headlights or stage lighting, although they are also used in overhead lighting for open, indoor areas such as factories or retail stores.
HID Ballasts and Accessories
All HID light fixtures require a light ballast, or electrical ballast, which is
a device that regulates the current flowing through a bulb and ensures a
fixture starts and operates properly.
LED HID Replacements
Because LED lights have a very long lifespan and can be made as bright as some HID bulbs, HID bulbs/lamps are sometimes replaced with an equivalent LED replacement bulb or lamp. To use an LED HID replacement lamp in an HID light fixture, consult a licensed electrician to
replace the HID ballast with an LED driver. LED HID light fixtures are also available and are intended to replace the entire HID light fixture. See
Operating Costs for LED HID Replacement Bulbs Compared to HID Mercury Vapor, Metal Halide, and High Pressure Sodium Bulbs
for detailed cost comparison charts.

Halogen Light Fixtures and Lighting Parts
Halogen light fixtures use halogen light bulbs, which are more energy-efficient than incandescent light bulbs. Halogen light fixtures are commonly used as work
lights. Although halogen bulbs are more affordable than fluorescent and LED lights, they radiate a greater level of heat and have a lifespan of only 1-2 years.
Their filament allows these bulbs to operate at higher temperatures than an incandescent lamp of similar power and operating life. Halogen lamps can also be used
similarly to a conventional lamp, but their compact size is ideal for optical systems like projectors and illumination.
Halogen Light Fixtures Available at Elliott Electric Supply
Incandescent Light Fixtures and Lighting Parts
Incandescent light fixtures use the cheapest light bulb (incandescent), but due to energy and environmental concerns, the manufacturing of incandescent bulbs will be
federally-prohibited after February 2023. Formerly the most common type of light, incandescent bulbs produce light by heating a filament wire with electricity until
it glows inside of its glass bulb. They radiate the most heat and are the least energy-efficient (with an average lifespan of 1–2 years), but their iconic
shapes can lead to opportunities for up-cycle and craft projects. Elliott Electric Supply currently offers a variety of the three most popular types: hanging lantern,
a-line bulbs, and close-to-ceiling (flush mount) lights.
