Established in 1982, Ledalite is a Lean-certified manufacturer that adheres to World Class Manufacturing (WCM). With its 210,000 sq. foot facility in Langley, British Columbia, Ledalite is an innovator in lighting. Their goal to create spaces that feel bright and natural combined with their architecturally pleasing designs, has led Ledalite to create solutions inspired by nature.

Ground-Breaking Lighting Technologies

Research & Development (R&D) are at the core of Ledalite’s innovations. Take MesoOptics, for example. Like many scientific breakthroughs, it was inspired by nature. Butterfly wings consist of three-dimensional crystal nanostructures, which selectively curve and scatter light. MesoOptics uses holographic technology to replicate this effect. Combined with intelligent luminaire design, it creates an optimal batwing light distribution. And with controlled brightness, it simultaneously reduces glare to deliver greater work plane uniformity. This not only improves visual comfort but provides the ability to lower footcandle levels, reducing energy consumption.

TruGroove by Ledalite

Ledalite TruGroove Micro embodies Ledalite’s clean aesthetic and commitment to innovation. High efficacy AccuRender is TruGroove micro’s standard CRI 90+ R9 50 offering. Its optimized color quality also meets TM 30’s Appendix E rigorous ratings for color rendering and preference. Ledalite’s precision optics deliver visual comfort, greater uniformity and spacing ratios contributing to lower lumens/watt and reduced project costs.

Unique MesoOptics technology

With all good inventions comes research and development; this is why Ledalite invested millions of dollars into their technology development and revolutionized the lighting industry with their MesoOptics. MesoOptics is a new scientific breakthrough inspired by nature that replicates the same effect of butterfly wing’s three-dimensional crystal nanostructures that selectively curve and scatter light using holographic technology. With the use of patented processes, the lighting distributions are less than 5 microns in size; these light distributions are applied to a recyclable substrate that creates a highly efficient and unique lighting control approach. MesoOptics can be customizable to fit the requirements of any environment. For help customizing your Ledalite MesoOptics, contact your local E.B. Horsman branch.

The TruGroove family utilizes unique MesoOptics technology to help minimize glare.

  • Freeform elliptical lens optic redirects light laterally from a central strip of LEDs into a wide batwing distribution in the upper hemisphere.
  • Diffuser with integrated MesoOptics DX film provides a controlled batwing distribution in the lower hemisphere.

TruGroove recessed and recessed micro

You can choose between 3-inch and 1-3/4-inch micro apertures. TruGroove recessed lighting with corner details defines space, offering a modern, functional design that combines illuminated movement with sustainable elegance.

TruGroove suspended and suspended micro

Both the classic 3″ and the the micro 1-3/4″ aperture deliver exceptional uniformity and wide row spacing . Custom colors an angles are available.

10-day QuickShip Program

Ledalite quick ship

You don’t have to sacrifice product quality and performance for critical timing. With the Ledalite QuickShip program, your order will ship within 10 working days of order receipt.

This program applies to almost all of their product families, so while we can’t increase the speed of light, we did find a way to get you your lighting faster.

Ledalite – Nature Connect

Daylight is something so natural, that often we do not even realize how important it is to us. The exposure to the right amounts of light during the day, as well as the colors and dynamics from nature, strongly impact our mood, energy levels, comfort, quality of sleep and our health and wellbeing in general.

On average we spend more than 90% of our time indoors, where we do not get the right amount and quality of light to feel happy and healthy.

The NatureConnect lighting innovation by Signify is built on proven Biophilic Design principles to reconnect us to the outside world. It mimics the natural patterns of daylight indoors to create comfortable, engaging and attractive environments.

E.B. Horsman & Son Joins The Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer: A Weekend of Hope and Resilience

Tour Alberta for Cancer

This past weekend, the team at E.B. Horsman & Son took part in an extraordinary event that not only challenged us physically but also brought us together for a cause that’s close to our hearts. We are proud to have participated in The Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer, a two-day cycling event dedicated to raising funds and awareness for cancer research and patient care.

A Ride with a Purpose

The Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer is more than just a cycling event; it’s a movement aimed at making a difference in the fight against cancer. Riders from across the province gathered to embark on this journey, united by a shared commitment to supporting those affected by cancer and advancing research that brings us closer to a cure. For us at E.B. Horsman & Son, participating in this event was a powerful way to demonstrate our dedication to community and philanthropy.

Our Team’s Journey

Our team of enthusiastic riders, comprising employees, family members, and friends, trained rigorously in the months leading up to the tour. The event kicked off early Saturday morning with an air of excitement and determination. Over the course of two days, we rode through picturesque landscapes, faced challenging terrains, and experienced moments of both triumph and camaraderie.

Each mile we pedaled was a reminder of why we ride: to honor loved ones lost to cancer, to support those currently battling the disease, and to contribute to the vital research that holds the promise of a cancer-free future. The support we received along the route—from cheering crowds to fellow riders—was incredibly inspiring and fueled our determination to push through.

Making an Impact

Our participation in The Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer was not just about the ride itself but also about the impact we could make. Through the generous contributions of our sponsors, donors, and supporters, we were able to raise a significant amount of money for cancer research and patient care. Every dollar raised brings us one step closer to breakthroughs in treatment and ultimately, a cure.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who supported our team—whether through donations, words of encouragement, or joining us on this journey. Your contributions have made a tangible difference in the fight against cancer and have helped us achieve our fundraising goals.

Adam Dries, Alberta District Manager said “I ride for my family, whose strength and courage in the face of cancer inspire me every day. At the Tour Alberta Ride for Cancer, every pedal stroke is a tribute to them and a step closer to a cure.”

The Ride Means so Much to Us All

Kyle Gilmour, our Account Manager in Alberta, pictured here sharing his victory and ride with his kids. “This was my fourth year riding with team EBH, each of which have been challenging experiences. It has been great to see the team grow in size over the years and seeing the increased donations. It is always an emotional ride and a good time for reflection. I look forward to building on this tradition again next year”, Kyle said.

How to Design the Best Office Lighting for Productivity

Productivity isn’t just impacted by staff’s energy levels, motivation, or community at work. In fact, lighting can play a significant role in productivity.

Well-designed office lighting systems can actually increase productivity by up to 20%! Thoughtful design and lighting ergonomics can make a big difference.

Whether you’re a commercial property manager or a business owner, here are a few ways anyone can use optimal lighting design techniques to support productivity in commercial office spaces.

How Office Lighting Impacts Productivity

On an individual level, productivity is impacted by a wide range of factors, including such as taking well-calculated breaks, propertly prioritizing tasks, and regular exercise and a healthy diet. 

But beyond individual motivations, improper lighting conditions can have adverse effects on your staff’s proper productivity levels. Poor lighting, such as glare or insufficient light, can contribute to health problems, decrease workers’ well-being, and lower their cognitive function. No building manager or office owner wants that. 

That’s why it’s important to ensure your offices are well-lit and optimized for productivity. Here are five key design tips to start the process.

5 Essential Office Lighting Design Tips

1. Maximize Natural Light

First thing’s first: maximize your natural light. (This can reduce office workers’ eyestrain and headaches by 84%.)

Start by maximizing natural light from windows and skylights, or by incorporating light-coloured or reflective surfaces, such as white walls, glass partitions, and mirrored finishes. 

You can also add light shelves, which are horizontal surfaces installed near windows that reflect daylight deeper into a building. 

Ultimately, heavy curtains, blinds, and tall furniture can block light, so try to keep the areas surrounding windows clear. 

2. Optimize Task Lighting

Next, focus on task lighting. 

Consider installing desk lamps and task lights above work surfaces to minimize glare and shadows. That way, employees can adjust the brightness and colour temperature to their needs. In conference rooms, consider installing overhead pendant lights, adjustable task lighting to tables, and floor lamps for collaborative spaces.

3. Minimize Glare

Now it’s time to reduce excessive glare.

Glare from overhead lights and screens can cause headaches and eyestrain, impacting your workers health and well-being, which can impact morale and reduce overall productivity levels. 

To avoid this, use indirect lighting fixtures, and position screens away from direct light sources. You can also use diffusers or shields on overhead fixtures to distribute light more evenly.

4. Opt for Adjustable Controls

Now, consider adjustable lighting controls

These and other smart office lighting solutions allow employees to dim or brighten overhead lights, adjust colour temperature, or control task lighting as they see fit. 

These options are especially valuable for hybrid or shared work spaces. Adjustable lighting can not only improve your workers’ sense of comfort, but can reduce unnecessary energy costs too.

Consider installing dimmers to adjust brightness levels throughout the day, as well as tunable white lighting systems to customize colour temperature and mimic natural daylight. 

5. Prioritize Energy Efficiency with LEDs

Lastly, prioritize LED. 

LEDs use significantly less electricity, need fewer replacements, lower utility bills, reduce maintenance costs over time, and offer many other benefits

But not only is this beneficial from a cost-savings perspective, by upgrading to tunable white LEDs that adjust colour temperature, your office can mimic natural changes in daylight and promote alertness during midday hours. 

Products We Recommend

One of our leading suppliers, Signify, offers exceptional lighting solutions for every office space. Here are a few of our favourites:

Signify SyncLine: A Sleek Design for Slim Budgets

Boost energy savings, enhance comfort levels, and reach sustainability targets with Signify’s SyncLine office lighting solutions. 

Aimed at budget driven interiors within educational, healthcare and office spaces, the new SyncLine provides a clean, modern aesthetic. 

Get in touch for details on how to access it. 

Signify NatureConnect: Bring the Benefits of Natural Light Indoors

Combining LEDs with intuitive lighting control, the high-end NatureConnect line mimics the natural patterns of daylight. 

You can set up intuitive controls that follow the rhythm of the sun, matching the outdoor environment to your indoor one. Whether your employees want to feel energized with morning daylight or relaxed as the sun “sets,” you can customize your light settings to support this—whether your space has windows or not. 

Get in touch for informating on accessing NatureConnect for your spaces.

Signify BloomBox: Performance Without Compromise

Last but not least, Signify’s BloomBox uses LED technology and optics to bring low-glare, high-quality, and sustainable overhead lighting to office spaces. 

Inspired by L-Prize-winning technology, BloomBox combines breakthrough high efficacy LED technology and optics with low glare to bring quality illumination to a variety of applications.

The more you purchase from an affiliated supplier, the more points you collect to earn free stuff. Check out how some of our customers used their E.B. Horsman Rewards!

Mike, a skilled contractor known for his careful work, has been buying Leviton products for years. With each purchase, he collected points in the E.B. Horsman Rewards program, aiming for something more than just stuff. As his points piled up, Mike wanted to bring his team closer together, recognizing their hard work. When he finally had enough points, he didn’t pick something for himself. Instead, he chose a company BBQ. With his new BBQ, Mike turned ordinary days into something special. Every month, he gathers his team in the yard behind their office to enjoy good food and each other’s company.

Alex, an electrician and frequent customer of RAB Products, had been diligently accumulating E.B. Horsman Reward points with each purchase of lighting solutions from RAB. As his son’s birthday neared, Alex saw an opportunity to use his points for something special. When the time came to redeem his points, Alex chose an iPad as the perfect gift for his son. The thought of the joy it would bring filled him with excitement. With his decision made, Alex looked forward to making his son’s birthday celebration truly memorable

Ava, a lighting specialist with a keen eye for illuminating spaces, has long been a customer of Signify. With each purchase, she collected points for the E.B. Horsman’s rewards program, but her intentions extended far beyond personal gain.

Ava wanted to make a difference in the lives of others. As her points amassed, she saw an opportunity to turn her purchases into something meaningful. When Ava finally reached the milestone of redeeming her points, she decided to spread light in a different way. She used her points to donate $300 to the BC Children’s Hospital. Through her generosity, Ava not only brightened spaces with her lighting expertise but also illuminated the lives of those in her community who needed it most.

In partnership with Mac’s II Agencies, O’M Engineering, Complete Power Systems and Cooper Lighting Solutions, our company served as the distributor of products for the City of Surrey’s South Surrey Arena indoor lighting project. Inaugurated in 1992, the South Surrey Arena stands as a cherished hub for minor hockey leagues, figure skaters, Junior A teams, and the local community. Nestled within the heart of the South Surrey Athletic Park, this arena, one of two Olympic-sized rinks in the Lower Mainland, embarked on a transformative journey. The 2023 Capital Upgrades project aims to enhance the arena’s sustainability, introducing a cutting-edge LED lighting system to illuminate its path into the future.

Our E.B. Horsman & Son team collaborated closely with all parties, including Mac’s II Agencies, O’M Engineering, Complete Power Systems and Cooper Lighting Solutions to achieve an immersive lighting experience with a simple 1-to-1 swap of their existing fixtures to assemble a quality sports-grade lighting package.

Cooper Lighting Solutions: Ephesus sport lighting fixtures offer both skaters and spectators the chance to immerse themselves in an elevated game-day and events experience, turning every moment on the ice into a showstopping one.

Alongside delivering a spectacular dynamic light show, the project has also resulted in:

  • A significant reduction in the number of fixtures, dropping from 72 to a total of 42 Ephesus luminaires (a 58% reduction in fixtures).
  • Lower overall wattage consumption thanks to the adoption of upgraded energy-efficient LED lighting.
  • Reduced yearly maintenance requirements, leading to less lighting downtime and eliminating the need for lamp changeouts.

Scenes like ‘Paparazzi’ create a dazzling dance of lights, ‘Canada’ transforms the ice with Red, White, and Red hues, and ‘Score’ unleashes a cascade of colours reflecting the home team’s spirit. These carefully curated scenes set the perfect mood for any event hosted at the arena; whether it’s pre-set for convenience or manually adjusted for a personalized touch, the entire lighting system is seamlessly controlled with a digital interface, ensuring a smooth and dynamic experience at the push of a button. This commitment to versatility and ease of use enhances the overall appeal and enjoyment for all patrons of the South Surrey Arena. The lighting upgrade at the South Surrey Arena remains a captivating investment, enthralling the City of Surrey and bringing delight to skaters, players, and spectators alike!

About Landscape Lighting

Landscape lights are used to illuminate outdoor/landscape areas for the purpose of safety, security, and aesthetics. The look of any outdoor area such as walkways, gardens, parks, residential and commercial settings, can be enhanced using landscape lighting.

Types of Landscape Lighting:

1. Accent Lighting: Focusing and directing light at objects or areas of interest to enhance and highlight their look.

2. In-ground/In-grade: Accent lights placed in-grade to highlight walkways, steps or areas around pools.

3. Mini Flood/Wall Washer: Small, intense lights used to highlight trees or accent features on walls or buildings.

4. Path Lighting: Small bollards that help light pathways while adding great aesthetic look.

5. Step Lighting: Low voltage lighting that is used to accent and beautify stairs or steps.

6. Underwater: In-grade lighting that is rated for applications in or under water. Pools, waterfalls and ponds are the main application.

Top challenges when choosing Landscape Lighting

1.) Quality and Versatility

Traditional incandescent products are not energy efficient, have poor bulb life, and are limited in color temperatures.

2.) Cost & Complexity

Higher-end LED systems can be expensive and require programming and detailed design.

3.) Longevity

Low cost products can be great at first but generally only last a year or two before they become damaged, corroded, or no longer function.

4.) Constant Maintenance

Landscape lighting products require annual maintenance to keep the system looking great.
