Original Press Release:
Lithonia Lighting Offers ES8(TM) High-Performance T8 Lighting for Relighting Applications
April 15, 2008 (Conyers, GA) - ES8R(TM) relight fixtures from Lithonia Lighting bring
outdated, inefficient spaces into new light without the hassle of full-fixture replacement.
Building upon the ES8 merits of efficiency, the new ES8 relight fixtures provide an innovative, environmentally friendly solution for existing buildings. With today's focus on environmental sustainability, the pressure to comply with green initiatives necessitates that existing structures must be updated to incorporate the same technologies available to newly constructed buildings. Existing spaces renovated with ES8R relight assemblies will achieve operational efficiency, environmental sustainability and a visible improvement over traditional parabolic counterparts.
Relighting with ES8 fixtures creates a visible improvement, eliminating the "cave
effect" created by traditional parabolics. The fixtures improve the balance between horizontal and vertical light levels, enhancing and updating the overall look of the space. They promote environmental sustainability by reusing existing fixture housings while further reducing waste through 50% fewer lamp replacements, reduced CO2 production and use of recyclable materials. Operational efficiency is achieved through reduced energy consumption-ES8R fixtures provide up to 67% energy savings in comparison to four-lamp T12 fixtures and are also eligible for many utility rebates.
The potential to improve environmental sustainability through lighting updates is
immense. Clean, renewable, wind-generated electricity accounted for roughly 2% of U.S.
energy production in 2006. Saving 40% of our energy consumption through replacing
outdated lighting would have six times the impact in terms of CO2 production.
