Lightfair International, the largest annual lighting trade show in the world, attracted more than 500 manufacturers and exhibitors to Las Vegas this May. New products and technology advancements were showcased by all, but one company’s product could change the LED retrofit process forever.

Some LED retrofits require extra wiring, driving up the cost of installation. Lumenpulse, a company that focuses on LED lighting for commercial, institutional and urban applications, designed a product that uses existing power lines, called Lumentalk. Lumenpulse’s video of Lumentalk explains that LEDs, like many lamps already, can be dimmed and controlled to save money and electricity, but LEDs sometimes need two sets of wiring, one for the power and one to talk to light and tell it how much to dim. The Lumentalk uses the fixture’s current power line for power and data so that the LED lamps can be used with any dimmer!

For businesses who didn’t want to switch to LED lighting because you didn’t want to tear down your walls for new wiring, now is your chance to save money on installation costs and look into Lumentalk. There’s no excuse not to switch to LEDs now!
