Our industry isn’t the only one where LEDs are making a big impact. Retail, commercial and even residential lighting designers and installers are all moving toward LEDs and away from traditional bulbs. Even with their higher upfront costs, LED fixtures are making inroads in nearly every kind of lighting application in markets all over the world.
In the world of entertainment lighting, one category of incandescent lighting fixtures seemed, for a while at least, to be particularly resistant to the move toward LEDs: Ellipsoidal fixtures with traditional tungsten bulbs.In the early days of LED technology, most lighting designers would argue that the superior quality of light achieved by incandescent tungsten Ellipsoidal fixtures easily outweighed such concerns as fixture operating temperatures, frequency of bulb changes or overall energy usage.But if that meant ETC wasn’t the first lighting manufacturer to scramble aboard the LED bandwagon, the company didn’t ignore the LED trend for long.
