Hera Lighting Products by Category Type and Best Uses
First up: 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.
ELite-LED and ELite-LED XL link selections are a little lower on this page.
Hera R55-LED
A 3-watt LED light, 24 volt, approx. 2-9/16" overall diameter. Comes in a few finishes.

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.
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.
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.

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 swivel spotlight. The swivel feature is actually a 20 degree tilt forward or backward.
Hera SR68-LED
Very similar to the SR45, but larger. The SR68-LED is also 5.3 watts but is 3-5/32" in overall diameter.
Hera HO-LED2
The swivel version of the HO-LED. It measures 3-1/8" in diameter, a 3.6 watt LED.
Hera Big6/2-LED
This is a much more powerful LED light at 7.2 watts. It has an omnidirectional swivel function.
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 alway 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 56 cents in electricity. If that was the traditional 60 watt bulb from 15+ years ago, that would be more like 43 kilowatts a month. Yuk! And old style light bulbs usually lasted around 1,000 hours. Most of Hera's LED lights are rated for 50,000 hours.
LED is great!

A reference page for what we have left that is halogen related, and suggestions to help.
Closeout Lights
Old Stock - Hera Closeout Lights
Discontinued Hera LED lights that we happen to still have a few of in stock.
And the Hera TwinStick2-LED is on closeout, and barely anything remaining.
It is the advisement of Hera, and we agree, the new ThinStick-LED is the optimal choice for a replacement light for the TwinStick2. The ThinStick is brighter, has more length choices, and costs less.
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. Choices remaining, which are very limited, are shown here. 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 relates to the old halogen lights. Note: replacement T4 SlimLite bulbs are on that respective page. Remaining touch dimmers and rotary dimmers are on the Halogen lighting page. Any halogen extension cables, lights, or Xenon lights are also on the halogen 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.
Hera E1 Light ER1-ES1
Hera Lighting E1 light - the ever popular economy halogen light
Once upon a time, 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. We wrote this web page to explain your options now. Lots of helpful info.
