**★★★★★ — thurber1, Jan. 2016**

> Gerald Wheatley, of Ledelco LED Lighting Solutions, transformed our stone and stately, but dark and outdated, Nova Scotia house from a 1930s landmark into a bright and energy- efficient home, while still respecting its historic and architectural character. His vast LED experience in both residential and commercial design, coupled with an encyclopaedic understanding of houses in general, gave us full confidence to invest through him in this ever-evolving and energy-sustainable technology. He researched and adapted lighting options to our unique situation (2-foot thick stone walls, unforgiving ceilings) and explained every one of his recommendations for fixtures and design - both interior and exterior - in highly professional, but refreshingly understandable, terms. Our interiors have since come alive; and the LED-lit driveway, with its line of trees, is a show-stopper! His quotes and installation times were both accurate and competitive, and we thoroughly enjoyed his humour and patience throughout. We recommend Gerald Wheatley without reservation as both a lighting and domestic designer of the first order.

**★★★★★ — Colin Shumacher, Dec. 2015**

> We met Gerald the first time to consult on a renovation for our family room. With his help we came up with a lighting plan. Within two weeks he had the product we needed and installed it. We did a custom color changing bar, back lighting for our projector screen, ceiling pot lights, display case lighting and a custom edge lit stairway. He did an awesome job in every way. A few months later we had a problem with a power supply and he was in a few days later to replace it without any fuss.
>
> Since then we've renovated a few other rooms, plus some landscape lighting and Gerald has been involved with every one. Our library is to be our next project and he'll back back again for that this summer.
>
> He comes when he says he will, does great work, cleans up his mess and if anything goes wrong he'll fix it. What more could you want from a contractor? Hard to find these days.
>
> We'd recommend him for any lighting job. Can't say enough good things about this guy and his company.

**★★★★★ — Tammy Martin, Dec. 2015**

> The owner of Ledelco was a joy to work with. My kitchen was very dark and uninviting. I couldn't afford to completely remodel my kitchen so I focused on changing the lighting. Gerald presented me with an affordable option which included LED under cabinet lighting and a new ceiling fixture with LED lamps. Now my kitchen is bright and easy to work in. It made a huge difference and didn't cost nearly as much as I expected it would. It is amazing the difference lighting made.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Is the light LED?  If not, will it take an LED bulb?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where can it be purchased?

A: I can't tell from the picture, its too far away. However, there are LED replacement lamps for most common bulbs. The new warm white 2700k-3000k color temperature lamps are almost impossible to tell from incandescent. Plus you will easily save 80% on power consumption not to mention replacement costs.

**Q: Can I use LED bulbs in this light fixture and do they make LED bulbs f** *(in Product Questions)*

A: Yes, It will take a medium base. Philips, Sylvania, TCP and many others will make an LED lamp for this.

**Q: LED lights (Yes or No)** *(in Polls)*

Building a new home. I'm having a tough time deciding if I should put in the extra money and do LEDs in the house, particularly on the main floor. I have read a lot of articles including a great one here on house, but there are so many different options and inputs. Thought I'de go to the polls and see where it goes. Would you do LED in your new home?

A: Yes, and I would consult with a local LED pro. A lot of electricians don't have the LED knowledge that you may need. Some of it is easy, but sometimes it can be complicated depending on your particular situation. An LED pro would have access to a wider range of products and not just the stuff the local electrical distributor carries.

**Q: POLL: LED lightbulbs - Yes or No?** *(in Polls)*

How do you feel about LED lightbulbs? 
VOTE and tell us about it in the comments! (photos encouraged)

A: That concept looks very nice. Make sure you get the highest lumen output you can for the strips if you go this route.

**Q: I need help choosing LED retrofit 5" 6" recessed lights** *(in Design Dilemma)*

If lighting bores you, stop right now because it's going to get worse....  We have old housing for 6&quot; can lights.  I am looking to replace them with 5&quot; 6&quot; LED recessed lights for a cleaner look.  However after visiting a local lighting store and finding the Halo LED Retrofit Baffle and Trim by Cooper Lighting for $80 a pop, I began my online search.  I've found several with the same specifics: 2700K, 90CRI that are half the price.  I do not want lighting that is blue or blazingly bright.  There are 7 in our kitchen.  Is there a difference between the $80 fixture and the Home Depot/Lowes fixtures?

A: I'd use the Cooper lights over the store brand. I sell a lot of Cooper LED lights and they are a very well built, reliable product with excellent support. Of the thousands of Cooper pot lights I have sold I have only ever had one bad batch which all came from the same production run. They replaced them without question.

**Q: kitchen lighting: recessed LED cans vs led bulbs in old style cans?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

in a kitchen remodel, what are the reasons to entirely re-wire for JUNO LED recessed cans (cost about $200 apiece, versus using LED bulbs in conventional cans (cost about $30 plus $10 bulb?

A: $200 for an LED retrofit and can is really expensive. You can get a quality Cooper LED engine for around $70 CAD and a Halo can for less than $20. Or you could use Lotus LED which do not require a can at all. They range in price from $50 to $100 depending on size and power level required.

I sell a lot of this and they are a great product. Assuming you are in the US there is like a retailer near you. Cans are so yesterday.
