How High-CRI, Color-Selectable LEDs Improve Livestreams
November 4, 2025Plug-and-Play Lighting Saves Church Upgrade Costs
First Presbyterian Church of St. Petersburg faced a costly six-figure lighting system replacement.
The aging halogen fixtures and outdated wiring made the sanctuary dim, uneven, and costly to maintain. Instead of replacing everything, the church chose a smarter solution… the Dual Wattage & Multi-CCT PAR LED Lotus Lamp (40W/60W).
This new Dual Wattage retrofit gives them a modern, professional-grade lighting without tearing out their existing infrastructure.
From the Unknown to the Simple Solution
When the church discovered the LED Lotus Lamp, a plug-and-play retrofit solution that installs directly into standard PAR cans. Instead of replacing every fixture, they retrofitted their existing setup with 80 × 60W lamps and 12 × 40W lamps, all at 3000K for warm, inviting light.
Easy Installation, Instant Results
Using the GX16D quick-connect adapter, installation took minutes, no rewiring, no complicated setup.
The results were immediate. The new lights delivered crisp, balanced illumination with CRI >90, revealing natural skin tones, warm wood detail, and excellent clarity.
Dual Wattage Flexibility That Works
Each 40W/60W Dual Wattage NexGen Lotus Lamp offers two brightness levels in one unit. The church now adjusts between 40W for smaller gatherings and 60W for full-service brightness, with no extra fixtures required. Combined with Multi-CCT control (3000K / 4000K / 5000K) and 0–100 % Triac dimming, the system gives complete control over every scene and service.
Energy Savings and Lasting Performance
By switching from 300–500 Watt Halogens to 40W/60W LEDs, First Presbyterian cut energy use by up to 88% and gained lamps rated for 60,000 hours of service life. The cool-running, IP65-rated design reduces heat and maintenance while protecting against dust and moisture.
A Smarter Path for Churches Everywhere
The new 40W/60W NexGen Lotus Lamp proves that performance and practicality can work together. It offers dual wattage flexibility, high-CRI accuracy, flicker-free dimming, and easy plug-and-play installation, all designed to revitalize aging lighting systems.
For First Presbyterian, it wasn’t just an upgrade; it was a solution that kept the doors open, kept the stage bright, and maintained the community connection.
