Compact Energy Saving LED Puck Light

Solid Apollo LED introduces a new line of incredibly powerful LED Puck Lights which install easily on almost any flat surface. The new brighter, more compact and low-profile design is UL listed and fully dimmable for easy controllable lighting. The LED Puck Light can quickly be installed using the center mounting screw and comes with a barrel connector for simple no hassle wiring connections. Solid Apollo’s LED Puck Lights are perfect for bringing bright useable lighting to under cabinets, in closets, pantries and more.

Currently, Puck Lights using traditional incandescent lighting are just too large and cumbersome, and usually require extensive installation to correctly work, with drilling required for routing the wires, and recessing to correctly fit the Puck Lights. Most offerings also include very few features and rely on the do-it-yourselfer or electrician to figure out where the wiring goes and how to splice multiple Puck Lights together without creating a jumbled mess of wiring. Even current LED puck Lights on the market are designed with large metal bodies, focusing little attention to bringing as much light as possible from their supposedly compact designs.

Solid Apollo has solved these issues by creating a user friendly design easy to mount while bringing the most light from an incredibly low-profile shape of just 5/16” tall. “Each super energy efficient design includes 42 powerful and dimmable LED’s which use just 3W of power making for an incredibly compact and precise spot light” stated Manuel Barquin, CEO of Solid Apollo LED. Each LED Puck Light has a large light projection area with a lens specifically created using anti-glare technology, ensuring the light is controlled and will not throw excess lighting where it’s not needed. This ensures that when the LED Puck Light is installed at eye level, no unwanted glare will blind anyone trying to use the lighting below the Puck Light.

Low-Profile High Quality

Solid Apollo’s LED Puck Lights are easy to install and require no drilling for wires or difficult recessing to try and fit the Puck Light. A built in mounting hole is provided in the center of the LED Puck Light for screw installation and the flat back surface of the Puck Light could even be used with strong double sided tape for an even faster installation.

Each LED Puck Light is fully UL rated guaranteeing the lights will be just as bright and reliable throughout the entire lifetime of the Puck Light. The UL Rating ensures the lights are also safe to use in the home or office, and as LED’s are used, the surface is always cool to the touch compared to traditional puck lights using incandescent lights which become too hot to touch.

The LED Puck Lights from Solid Apollo are perfect for bringing bright controlled lighting to almost any location as the low profile design fits in places traditional lighting could never go. Use LED Puck Lights for under cabinet lighting, inside the cabinet, in the ceiling of any closet, or on each shelf of the pantry for quick plug in lighting. The LED Puck Lights are also perfect in the wine cellar for the tasting area, as the bright and dimmable lighting is perfect for highlighting a specific area. LED Puck Lights are even great for task lighting in the hobby room or garage for bright easy to work under lighting.

Solid Apollo’s LED Puck Lights are available in two colors and two finishes ready to compliment a variety of LED lighting projects. The LED Puck Lights are available in Warm White, 3100 Kelvin, or Daylight White, 4200 Kelvin. The LED Puck Lights also come in two finish colors, either White or with a Brushed Nickel Finish and can be chosen with each light color.

Six Vibrant Neon LED Colors

Solid Apollo LED introduces new Neon LED Strip Light bringing the amazing look and feel of Neon Lighting without the issues of traditional Neon Light. Neon light brings a bright distinctive fluorescent glow in a variety of colors to easily add a unique look to any area whether indoors or outdoors. Neon LED is easy to use and is perfect for architectural lighting, from highlighting specific features or placed around the entire perimeter of a building.

Neon light is easily recognized for the distinctive and vivid colors made by Neon gas and to reproduce this incredible effect with LED, a unique plastic polymer cover is sealed over the LED strip to create the vivid Neon lighting effect. Neon LED Strip Light projects a wide 180 degree angle of light and is flexible and fully dimmable for the exact brightness setting desired. Neon LED Strip Light is also easy to modify in the field as cut points every 20 inches can be cut with simple scissors and configured with accessories and waterproofing glue for a durable long-lasting waterproof light.

Enjoying a fine meal outdoors has been a human experience since the beginning of time, but as restaurants and outdoor eating establishments evolve into more advanced and interesting designs and layouts, trying to find lighting to fit every design can be difficult. LED lighting resolves the difficulties of traditional lighting by being flexible and offered in a large range of vibrant controllable colors and multiple shades of white. Whether adding lighting to a permanent outdoor area or a temporary seasonal area, LED lighting is a simple solution without the need for extensive installation requirements.

Traditional waterproof lighting used in many outdoor restaurants and bars have been limited to spot lights requiring extensive installation and specific fixtures, and for a wider angle of lighting flood lights have been used but have been too bright and unattractive when used in areas that need to be appealing to customers. Even worse, most of the lighting is fixed or stuck to specific extendable fixtures, further reducing the ability to be creative and adaptable to changing designs and for temporary and seasonal eating areas.

One of the easiest ways to bring extra lighting to an area is with LED Strip Lighting. “LED strip lighting is very different from traditional lighting as it has a simple low profile shape and the light adds a very modern look without the hassle of extensive installation” stated Manuel Barquin, CEO of Solid Apollo LED. Solid Apollo offers a variety of waterproof LED Strip Lights for adding bright linear accent lighting and workable lighting. LED Strip Light is perfect for adding to a variety of locations because of the low profile shape and the ability to cut the strip every several inches. This high level of customization is perfect for adding lighting to intricate locations, such as wine racks in each bottle cabinet, or for larger installations such as along beams and under porch over-hangs for even more lighting compared to traditional spot lighting. Positioned correctly, the LED Strip Light provides a beautiful glow of linear lighting without the hot spots seen with can lighting. The colors available range from solid single colors such as warm white, pure white, red , green and blue, to fully color changing LED Strip lighting able to show either a specific single color, or play a color changing lighting program for added excitement and energy.

By using LED lighting a range of controllers are available to precisely and easily control any LED lights. LED controllers and dimmers from Solid Apollo range from in-wall options, to handheld remote control options and there is even a Wi-Fi option using any smartphone or tablet to control the lighting.

The driverless LED strip light from Solid Apollo comes in lengths as short as 19.68 inches up to 165 continuous feet all on one plug. The energy saving and low profile design has cut points every 19.68 inches and is perfect for temporary and seasonal eating areas, such as perimeter fencing along a dining area, where strips can be cut and connected with interconnectors to each fencing section for a flexible lighting option. Driverless LED Strip Light can even be added around awnings for extra lighting. The low 0.25 inch height on the Ultra Bright Driverless LED Strip ensures it can be added without getting in the way, just a simple power cord is needed to power the lights and do not require extensive installation and specific fixtures for the lighting to work. The slim design also means the driverless strip can be easily folded away with the awnings or other folding roofing without the need to remove and store separately.

LED Strip Light is an incredible way to bring lighting to places never thought possible. The short length, low profile design and simple adhesive backing bring a large range of possibilities where a LED Strip Light can be placed. But trying to find the perfect location to place the strip can be difficult. Trying to weight the different options of where to place the LED strip for the most light and to avoid hot spots can be difficult to balance and achieve. Solid Apollo LED has extensive experience giving tips to make any installation as successful and as simple as possible. Here are four top tips they give to every customer.

Cove LED Lighting

Step One: When placing the LED Strip Light, understand what area needs to be lit up. Before attaching the LED Strip Light permanently to any surface, assemble the strip with power to see how the strip lights up. Then hold it where it needs to go with some temporary tape, or have a second pair of hands hold the strip up. Then stand back to see if the strip is bright enough and lights up the desired area. If the light is too bright, attach or purchase an LED dimmer or controller, to bring the level of brightness down.

Step Two: Find what position will project the light in the correct direction. While the LED Strip Light is placed temporarily in place, walk around the strip to see if it projects the light in the direction needed. If the LED Strip Light projects in the wrong direction carefully detach the strip and slowly rotate the strip until the light shines in the correct direction, then temporarily reattach. The LED Strip Lights from Solid Apollo LED normally come with a 120 degree beam angle for controllable lighting. The direction of light can be controlled by changing the angle of the surface it is placed on. To reduce the beam angle Solid Apollo LED offers Aluminum LED Profiles to further control the light.

Solid Apollo LED offers a variety of LED light colors and brightness levels to match any project, from the brightest strips for under cabinet and workable lighting, to low wattage accent lighting. 5 separate white colors are available, from Candle Light Warm White, similar to the color of the flame from a candle, to Pure White, for the brightest white possible. Even color changing RGB LED Strip Lights are available to create almost any custom color. “At Solid Apollo LED, we offer as many choices as possible because each installation is unique and makes a personal statement for that customer,” stated Manuel Barquin, CEO of Solid Apollo LED. “We try to provide the whole solution for every project including the right accessories and full service after the sale for complete satisfaction.”

Step Three: Avoid hot spots by placing LED Strip away from perpendicular surfaces. For example, when LED Strip Light is placed against the back wall of an under cabinet area, the LED’s will individually project on the surface next to the strip as the light from the LED’s do not have enough distance to overlap. To avoid this, try to place the LED Strip Light at least 1 inch away from any perpendicular surface. If this cannot be avoided, use a light diffuser to create the look of a solid linear light, similar to a fluorescent tube light. Solid Apollo LED offers Aluminum LED Profiles and matching diffusers which can completely stop hot spots.

LED Strip Light over Outdoor Restaurant

Step Four: Place the LED Strip where you won’t see it. After carefully deciding on the area the LED Light will light up, check that the strip cannot be seen, as placing the strip in a visible area can be distracting. If the LED strip can be seen, place a small piece or molding or move the strip further inward from the area being viewed. If there are too many reflective surfaces, such as mirrors or chrome surfaces use Aluminum LED Profiles with diffusers for a professional finished appearance.

Use these tips to help create the perfect lighting installation. At Solid Apollo LED, they also have a range of accessories to make installation as simple as possible with snap and lite LED accessories to avoid soldering and make any installation take minutes instead of hours.

Lighting today has become more customizable than ever before, and one way do-it-yourselfers and architects are taking advantage of this is by adding lighting to glass blocks and edge lighting to sheets of glass. With LED lighting the hassles of adding unique lighting to glass and translucent surfaces has been greatly reduced by using low profile vibrant LED strip lights. At Solid Apollo LED a variety of colors and 5 shades of white are available, and even several different sizes of strip lights to make even the most intricate lighting installations far easier than ever before.

Color Changing RGB Strip Light used around the glass blocks

Glass blocks create an interesting architectural element to any room by allowing light to shine through while creating a visual block. Traditionally when adding lighting to glass blocks, the light was either placed inside the glass block or around the outside perimeter of all the glass blocks. Both ways unfortunately had large draw backs by being labor intensive and requiring extensive customization from either drilling into the blocks or having to create lighting fixtures around the blocks for correct lighting placement and heat dissipation. Shadows would usually form due to uneven lighting around the blocks and from the actual lighting fixtures being inside the blocks. By using LED strip light, worry of correct lighting placement and heat dissipation had disappeared. The low profile design and flexible strip is simple to place around the perimeter of the block without modification to the block and can be added to each individual block creating even lighting across the surface. Solid Apollo LED has color changing strip lights able to bring new excitement to any glass block installation, whether in the bar or hallway, with vibrant controllable colors and color changing programs when a matching controller is used.

“LED strip lights are perfect for adding lighting to glass and translucent materials” said Manuel Barquin, CEO of Solid Apollo, “there is an amazing range of glass products with different effects, and by adding lighting, the products pop and add a new and visually exciting enhancement.” Edge-lit glass lighting is another variation on using glass to add an interesting design element to rooms, stairs and hallways. Traditional lighting was difficult to adapt as a narrow window of light is required without reflecting on the top or bottom surfaces, which would distort the lighting effect. With LED strip lights, the worry of creating a custom enclosure and handling the heat requirements of traditional lighting is no longer a concern. The LED strip lights are perfect for edge-lit glass, as the slim design and small width projects light perfectly along glass and can even highlight etching in the glass to give the appearance of invisible floating lighted objects. On stairs, use Solid Apollo’s Daylight White LED Strip Lights to highlight the glass and add enjoyable accents to the stair area. The daylight white color will not alter the colors of objects around the glass as the color simulates the color from sunlight. Solid Apollo also offers the Candle Light Warm White LED Strip Lights for a gentle accent light with soft amber tones.

LED Strip Light used to highlight glass edges

At Solid Apollo they could see a need for even more compact and low profile LED strip lighting needs, so they introduced the side emitting LED strip light, and the incredibly small Nano strip light. The side emitting LED strip light emits a tight 90 degree beam of light, compared to wider angles on most LED strip, and the unique design allows the strip to mount perpendicular to area being lit. By projecting light from the side of the strip even more flexibility is possible so following the flowing lines in textured glass is simple to do. For even smaller and inaccessible areas, the Nano LED Strip Light was created as one of the smallest LED strip lights available being only 0.19” wide and 0.06” tall with cut points every 1.94” inches. This incredibly small flexible piece of strip will bring amazing accent light to places even standard low profile LED strip light could not go for consistent and controllable accent lighting.

Solid Apollo LED strip lights are incredibly simple to add to a variety of translucent and clear products for bringing a new element of light to ordinary objects. With a variety of colors, low profile designs and very low heat, LED strip lights make creative light installations simple for everyone.

Solid Apollo strives to bring the latest premium LED lighting products to everyone at affordable prices, and backs up each of its products with a full warranty and a 30 day money back guarantee. Solid Apollo manufactures and distributes a wide range of indoor and outdoor LED light products and solutions and offers free shipping on orders over $150, and excellent customer service and technical advice.

3 Way Control from Smartphone or Tablet, DMX Boss or Remote

DMX lighting control will become common place in almost every home in the near future. As the technology for complex DMX systems becomes more user friendly and comes down in price for the average consumer, DMX lighting control systems will be utilized by more and more people. Energy saving LED’s already come ready to take on a large range of customizable lighting options, where the color and brightness can be infinitely controlled, but are hampered by current non-DMX controllers. By applying DMX control, the full range of control options are finally possible, such as custom programs that can be created and played back, or tying a variety of different lighting systems together and getting them to speak the same language, or even adapting sensors such as motion detectors. As the need for more energy efficient lighting enters more households and workplaces, and in some places has already become a requirement by law, the ability to utilize and incorporate DMX controllers will be more common place.

Currently non-DMX lighting controllers are limited to pre-programmed color changing options, and only being able to save a handful of chosen colors and brightness levels. DMX systems have been largely expensive and unpleasing to look at, and even more confusing to learn and program. DMX systems are usually seen controlling event lighting, or continuous display lighting and even high-end home lighting, in which case a technician is hired to program how the lights react over a certain amount of time, or by hour to hour throughout the year. Solid Apollo LED is changing this by offering more user friendly and value priced DMX controllers, from more detailed systems where every aspect of multiple lighting systems can be controlled and programmed with included software, to less complex DMX controllers with a color wheel and simple button selection from any smartphone or tablet.

“We can see that as lighting technology progresses the ability to control every part of lighting is becoming more common place” said Manuel Barquin, CEO of Solid Apollo LED, “we see the current trends and how lighting customization is wanted by more and more consumers. We believe we offer some of the most user-friendly and budget friendly DMX controllers on the market.” One of the more detailed controllers offered which can handle every aspect of lighting and store custom made lighting programs is the SlimDMX 512 Wall Controller. The contemporary wall mount design has uncluttered front mount buttons, and an internal memory that can store up to 10 different lighting programs. The included software can program color effects, color chases, transitions and even time based schedules on any LED lighting fixture such as LED wall washers and even LED strip lights.
