RL-2018-Lighting-Glossary-blog-header

As we start a new year full of new retrofit, design, and maintenance projects, we've updated our Lighting Terms Glossary to include some important terms that you'll want to be aware of this year. 

Who is this lighting glossary for?

If you are responsible for store design, facility maintenance, new construction projects, or energy costs for your company, it's critical to stay on top of the most commonly used lighting terminology. And this lighting glossary will be a helpful resource. 

Lighting jargon doesn't have to be complicated. Our hope is that this resource serves as a helpful tool for you in communicating effectively during your project meetings and selecting the right product throughout the year.

Some of the newly added information includes visual diagrams as well definitions of:

  • Lighting as a Service
  • Program Start Ballasts
  • LED Conversion/LED Retrofit
  • R9 Color Rendering Value
  • And more

Download the digital copy of our glossary here:

2018 Lighting Terms Glossary

For easy reference, you can save this to your computer desktop or print it out.

If you download the glossary and notice there are terms that are not on there that you'd like defined, please fill out this form and let us know. We'll make sure to answer them for you.

Topics: Lighting 101, Lighting maintenance, LED retrofit, Lighting as a service
