Designing with the best lighting technology for an improved built environment.
2020 LED provides comprehensive lighting solutions for a wide variety of commercial uses including offices, education, health care, hospitality, industrial, and agriculture. Our collaborative process enables us to investigate key design factors and technology options before deciding on the approach that provides the best fit for your specific project.
Our understanding of energy efficiency incentive programs results in optimizing of rebates for our clients, while delivering higher performance (efficacy, efficiency, and control) than traditional lighting systems. Up to 70% of the total LED lighting cost can be paid by utility rebates.
2020 Net Zero Energy, LLC, doing business as 2020 LED, was formed by 2020 ENGINEERING, Inc. in 2012 to deliver efficient and healthy lighting solutions. 2020 ENGINEERING has been providing innovative and sustainable professional engineering services since 1995.
What is tunability?
Tunable LED lighting controls allow users to adjust both the Kelvin color temperature of the light output color and the light intensity. Room lighting can be shifted from relaxing “warm” yellow light to activating “cool” white light or to "bright" white-blue spectrum. Research studies indicate that the effective use of Kelvin changing and light dimming controls can contribute to increased mental focus, improved visual acuity, reduced anxiety, and a decrease in sleep disorders.
Many benefits of LED lighting

LED light mimics natural light, improving workplace, health care, and learning environments
- Light spectrum color choices – options range from warm to cool to bright in each tunable fixture
- Spectrally enhanced lighting in schools, health care, offices and other learning/working environments has been found to provide:
- reduced stress and anxiety
- improved health and energy
- increased performance and academic achievement
- Save money on utility bills - Life cycle cost benefits include decreased energy consumption, reduced demand on power grid with lower demand charges, and reduced maintenance expense due to the long life of LEDs.
- Dimmable and adjustable light color controls - increases occupant comfort and brain health
- Adjustable task lighting – individual control provides user satisfaction
- No hazardous mercury, cadmium, lead or PCBs - improves indoor environmental quality
- No UV radiation – will not damage fabrics, artwork or stored food
- No flicker – eliminates seizures, stress and headaches for sensitive occupants
- Unbreakable plastic, non glass parts – safety for occupants & maintenance staff
We help organizations invest in LED technology efficiently and economically.
2020 LED provides Design-Build lighting installation or retrofits as a general contractor.
Our designers, energy managers, professional engineers and electricians provide complete LED lighting service including:
Powered by a lifelong commitment to innovation and collaboration.
