ALL ABOUT CIRCUITS: HOW TO RUN FROM A
COIN CELL FOR 10 YEARS

nfrastructure that doesn't depreciate is advantageous
for businesses and positive for the planet. For
example, industrial energy bills plummeted when LEDs
replaced traditional incandescent bulbs. However, due
to the longevity of LEDs, they do not typically come with
replaceable light bulbs. There are two replaceable options:
use a traditional, low-cost incandescent bulb with a shorter
life span but very predictable performance, or swap the
old-style bulb with an LED into the same lighting fixture.
In addition to these two paths, a third option is available.
Integrating LEDs directly into a light fixture offers several
enhancements, some of which may be surprising. This
article will review the benefits and challenges of integrated
LEDs and replaceable bulbs, and highlight a current
product that will enable the benefits of integrating LED
lighting solutions.

Sense to
Replace LEDs?
