Hera Lighting Products by Category Type and Best Uses
First up: Popular LED Linear Lights
Linear LED lights provide uniform light along the underside of cabinets, shelves, or displays. A more even work light, or lighting to show off products in commercial applications.
The ELite LED and ELite LED XL do not require separate LED power drivers. They run from 120 volt household power. You can connect them end to end to make longer runs of lights. They are great for kitchens, laundry areas, garages, or even in a closet or hallway. The XL version is the popular choice if you are looking for Hera SlimLites and need replacements or upgrades. The XL connection ends are identical.
The ThinStick LED is ideal when you need linear lighting with a very tiny footprint, one you can even recess into a channel if you like. Also connectable end to end, or space apart with cables. Ideal for fine furniture and cabinetry.
TAPE LED choices give you flexibility for longer lengths, and flexibility for not adhering to a straight surface. You can round the bends with them on the flat portion. If turning corners, you would want to cut and add a short connecting cable to bend a corner. TAPE lighting is great for toe kicks, under breakfast bars, and in closets.
Hera ELite-LED XL
The XL version of the ELite-LED was created for easy retrofitting when replacing Hera SlimLite XL. Thus fluorescent T5 and T4 SlimLites with the XL connection ends can be retrofitted by ELite-LED XL. And even the SlimLite LED XL can be replaced with this light. The ELite-LED XL is all self contained, no bulbs to change, no cover to come off. Select from various power cords, connecting cables, and hardwire boxes. Can be used for new installations too, not just retrofitting. But by far, the easiest retrofit for Hera SlimLites.
Hera ELite-LED
This is the light of the future. Pronounced E-Light. Looks a lot like the popular Hera SlimLite T5. The normal E-Lite LED has a 3-prong grounded connection. Thus any older fluorescent ELites have the same connection ends and can use the same cables. The ELite-LED can direct connect end to end to make longer runs, or space them apart with connecting cables. Runs from 120 volt, no need for separate LED power drivers. Can be hardwired. An excellent linear light that throws a lot of light.
Hera ELite-LED XL HO
This is the ELite-LED XL pumped up. It comes in just one size, 45-7/16" long. It uses only 20.5 watts to produce 2850 lumen. You may have seen them mounted in overhead shelves in the big warehouse stores. An extra bright version of the ELite-LED XL.
Hera ThinStick-LED
The NEWEST in the Stick-LED family. Very bright, interconnectable without dull spots, shielded, can create long runs of light. Sleek, can be recessed into a channel or groove. They are low voltage and do run from LED power drivers. Various length connecting cables, lights come in several lengths also. The equivalent and replacement for the Stick3 LED lights. Technically can be used in lieu of any of the older Stick lights.
Hera TapeBasic-LED
The TapeBasic took over for the old TapeVE. It comes in coils of 196" (5 meters), and is available in three diode densities. Great for toe kicks, under breakfast bars, above kitchen cabinets, and in closets. Cut it to length to match your applications need. Flexible, can wrap non-flat surfaces.
Hera TapeUltra-LED
The TapeUltra is an addition to TapeBasic. It comes in coils of 196" (5 meters), and is available in three densities. Pretty much all the function of Tape Basic but with greater light output.
Next: Fixed Spotlights
Fixed Spotlights are generally mounted on the underside of an upper cabinet, in a cornice above an area you want to light (over a sink), in the ceiling of an upper mullion cabinet (glass door cabinet), or under shelfs. They shine straight down when mounted on the underside of a level flat surface. This is the most common application in kitchen cabinetry and drop down ceilings in kitchens. Very common in entertainment centers too.
Hera R55-LED
A 3-watt LED light, 24 volt, approx. 2-9/16" overall diameter. Comes in several finishes. The more popular pick when upgrading from old Halogen lights to create the same under cabinet effect. Thus if looking for straight down spotlights to light up your counters and mount to the underside of your upper cabinets, this by far is a great choice. With the various wattage size LED power drivers, you can run a lot of the R55-LED lights from one driver.
Hera FR68-LED
The bigger brother to the R55-LED. This is a 4 watt LED which will be noticeably brighter than the 3 watt R55. Ideal when you want more light on your countertops or your display units. Dimmable, as are the R55 lights. The FR68-LED light will give you a lot of light where you want to put it. Decoratively styled, great for tall glass door cabinets as light will be thrown downward for a good distance.
Hera ER-LED
This is a lower wattage accent light. The ER-LED is round, 3" diameter. It is 1.2 watts, so it is not intended to be bright. Nice for bookcases, or anywhere that you intend to add just a little bit of light. Nice replacement for Hera's old SET2-LED lights as this is a very low profile surface mount light that can cover over those old 2" recessed holes.
Hera EYE-LED
This is a tiny LED light, only 1-1/8" in diameter. Thus it pinpoints light on an exact spot or item. Extremely popular for bookcases and shelves. Recesses into a 1" hole. Just one watt, so many of them can function from one LED power driver. Used in fine furniture. NOT meant as an under cabinet light in your kitchen. They do not throw that kind of light. More of a display light for bookcases.
For normal under cabinet lighting in kitchens, consider the R55-LED light.
Four finish options, warm white or cool white, recessed or surface mounted.*
The more traditional size and light output for under cabinet lighting.
Next: Swivel Spotlights
Hera SR45-LED
The SR45-LED is a smaller 5-watt swivel spotlight. The swivel feature is actually a 20 degree tilt forward or backward. It is a recessed LED light, low voltage, will work from an LED power driver. Nice when you want to have angled light directly on an object you are displaying, including paintings on a wall. Rated for a 60,000 hour lifespan.
Hera SR68-LED
Very similar to the SR45, but larger. The SR68-LED is also 5 watts but is 3-5/32" in overall diameter. Throws a similar light output to the SR45, but more bold. Still a recessed mount. An excellent choice for commercial display lighting, but can be used in the home too. Rated for a 70,000 hour lifespan.
Hera HO-LED2
The swivel version of the HO-LED. It measures 3-1/8" in diameter, a 3.6 watt high output LED. Okay for home applications, more suited for commercial applications where you need to pinpoint light on your displays. Recessed mount.
Hera Big6/2-LED
This is a much more powerful LED light at 7.2 watts. It has an omnidirectional swivel function. You would not use this light under your cabinets, it is too powerful. If you have a drop down ceiling in your kitchen, you could consider it for that as it will light up nicely what is below it. Has a swivel function so you can direct its light off at an angle. Can be used commercially for larger artwork pieces, such as sculptures. Also can be retrofitted inside the casing of the original Big6-LED light.
Swivel spotlight LED lights are more suited to commercial applications for precise location of light on objects.
But in today's homes where accenting a wall or built in wall niche is becoming more popular, straight down lighting is not always enough. Bending light backward or to the side can really change the look and appeal of a setting. And with the lower power consumption of LED lighting, it's not going to cripple your electric bill.
My wife keeps a 5 watt LED light on 24/7. That is just under 4 kilowatts per month which is about 60 cents in electricity. If that was the traditional 60 watt bulb from 15+ years ago, that would be more like 43 kilowatts a month, and more heat. Yuk! And old style light bulbs usually lasted around 1,000 hours. Most of Hera's LED lights are rated for 50,000 hours or greater.
LED is great!
Now, Linear LED Lighting on Closeout
The older Stick lights in Hera's stick family of lighting are on closeout. Stick2, Stick3, and StickVE have various choices in their lengths and warm white and cool white options left. We will note what is left. If you do not see a size listed, it does mean they are all gone in that size.
Hera StickVE-LED
A valued engineered version of the Stick2-LED. The StickVE is encased within its own channel and has a faint diffuser. Very common in coolers in commercial applications. Any that end in /M can magnetically mount. Some sizes sold out.
Hera Stick2-LED
The Stick2-LED had all the same features as the original Stick, but with a nice overlap to eliminate dull spots. It is interconnectable or can be spaced apart. Selling off the remainder of the sizes left. Many customers are just looking for replacements. If setting up a new set up, consider using the ThinStick-LED lights.
Hera Stick3-LED
The Stick3-LED has updated features of the Stick2. A nice rounded diffuser to hide the individual LED diodes. Still a nice overlap to eliminate dull spots. It is interconnectable or can be spaced apart. Selling off the remainder of the sizes left. Many customers are just looking for replacements. If setting up a new set up, consider using the ThinStick-LED lights.
Other LED Lights, LED Power Drivers, More Closeout Lights
The Edenroc light, very popular flexible headboard light as seen in Holiday Inn's we stock. What is left of the Fluorescent SlimLites and SlimLite bulbs we have listed below. We have a halogen transformer that can take the place of the old Hera transformers. And some of our resource and helpful info pages have links to them from below. We try to offer solutions for the older lights that are no longer available to be replaced with current LED lights.
Headboard Lighting
Hera Edenroc-LED Flex Light
This is the light making a splash in Holiday Inn Express and other hotels as a personal reading light. Commonly mounted to the headboards, a great night light. Has a flexible arm to pinpoint the light on what you are reading as to not disturb your partner beside you. Convenient on/off switch in the base. Elegant styling. Can be used at home and pretend you are at the Holiday Inn.
LED Power Drivers and Dimming Accessories
Hera LED Drivers, Dimmers, Cables
Conveniently on one page, we show all of Hera's 24 volt LED power drivers, and related dimming accessories. Hera is phasing out some of their older PS24V LED power drivers (once called the STICKPS24 LED drivers).
The PSLED/10 and PSLED/DIM/H power drivers and accessories are also shown on this web page.
Hera is transitioning to their PS24V Daisy Drivers. Daisy Drivers have a built in outlet, so you can power up another driver in line without having to wire your house or business with additional outlets. For the newer Daisy Drivers in 30w, 75w, and 96w, please go to the Hera Daisy Drivers web page.
The ThinStick-LED, shown higher on this page, is Hera's newest addition to the Stick family of LED lights. Hera continues to make innovations in their LED lighting. Many of their lights we do stock. Those we do not generally have a 3 to 5 day lead time for us to receive them.
Slim Fluorescent Lighting
Hera SlimLite XL T5
Hera SlimLite XL has been around since the 1990's. It has been a popular compact Fluorescent lighting choice. But is is on closeout. We have some of the shorter lengths still available, and various sizes of the fluorescent replacement bulbs. Selling off what is left, everything is still new, selections are getting smaller. For consideration in replacement lights in all 5 lengths in CW and WW, check out the Hera ELite-LED XL. This is a great replacement for SlimLite.
SlimLite T4 Reference
Hera SlimLite T4 info and remaining bulbs
Info on the Hera SlimLite XL T4 is shown on this page. All T4 fixtures have been sold out. Most bulbs are sold out. What we have left are the 18 watt bulbs in cool white. So if your bulb has T4 18W and CW written on it, we still have hundreds of that bulb. 7 and 10 watt bulbs are all gone. Warm White bulbs are all gone. The SFB18CW bulb is very popular in Subway Restaurants and Dunkin Donuts. If you are looking to keep your 20" long SlimLites lit, we still have bulbs for you. And if you need new fixtures, check out the ELite-LED XL lights. Same connection ends.
Halogen 12 volt Transformers
Hatch 12V Halogen Transformer
We have a Great solution to replace Hera brand 12 volt halogen transformers. If you have a burned out E60T, OMN60LT, UE-E60T, UC-60FT, or UK-120TW, then the Hatch 12v 60 watt, Class 2 transformer will work to keep your halogen lights lit.
Halogen Lighting Resource
Info about Halogen Lights and Halogen Accessories
A reference page for what LITTLE we have left that is halogen related, and suggestions to help. Halogen lights are gone, discontinued long ago. But we may have some LED light choices that can work in your application. As for halogen parts, pretty much nothing left. We do show a transformer on the Hatch transformers page. All dimmers are gone. Xenon lights are all gone too. Rings, lenses, kaput. Time to switch up to LED lights.
Closeout Lights
Old Stock - Hera Closeout Lights
Discontinued Hera LED lights that we happen to still have a few of in stock. Lights that do not fall into our categories above will end up on this page. Such as a few old QPad-LED, LumiMax, TwinStick2 remaining lights and parts, and a few other things we just ended up with. So this is the pot-luck page.
Replacement Parts
Hera Lighting replacement parts
On this page will be parts that we have left. Hera decor rings and glass lenses for halogen lights were popular, but are now long gone. Our old web page for replacement parts was quite long when the parts were available. Not too much exists any longer. Hera's line of new LED lights really do not have replacement parts. So what is on this page pretty much related to the old old lights. Note: replacement T4 SlimLite bulbs are on that respective page. On this page, we will also offer some insight on what to do in lieu of not finding the replacement parts any longer. We have a few solutions, but sadly, not all solutions.
Hera E1 Light ER1-ES1
Hera Lighting E1 light - the ever popular economy halogen light
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, Hera Lighting made this great little economy halogen light ... by the millions. And as many Carver Yacht and Formula Boat owners are aware, their cabins are filled with them. Cabinetmakers favored this light for its ease of use and it had come in 2, 3, and 5-light kits with transformers. It was by far, one of Hera's most popular lights. And they are gone, as well as the decor rings and glass lenses. GONE. We wrote this web page to explain your options now for LED upgrades. Lots of helpful info.
