FireFly has a full range of Smart LED light bulbs for direct replacement of incandescent and fluorescent bulbs.  LEDs on the market now are low light output and fail early, which does not meet customer demands.  FireFly’s LED Lights are low energy, low heat and have a long life allowing customers to reduce heat and energy costs by up to 90 percent.  With control and sensors built into the lamp to create a smart building from the socket down, FireFly has designed lights that meet customer and market demand for light output and reliability.
