Kim Lighting Launches Era® Lantern Series



New product series combines state-of-the-art lighting technology with a variety of architectural styles, periods and themes for heritage projects

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., August 20, 2008 - Kim Lighting, a leading manufacturer of outdoor architectural lighting, announced today the launch of the Era Lantern Series, an extension of the popular Era Series of traditionally styled high performance luminaires.

The Era Lantern Series offers an extensive selection of customizable pole and wall mounted heritage luminaires for roadway, landscape and area site lighting projects. The combinations are many, with 15 different arm styles to choose from that can be matched with any of three pole options, three bases, six reflector types, four IES light distribution patterns as well as a selection of decorative accents, optional lantern enclosures, mounting configurations and pole caps. The Era Lantern is available with a full lantern-style diffuser lens or StarView® dark sky compliant with flat glass lens and horizontal lamp.

"Lighting an area with historic architectural design standards has typically presented challenges for specifiers, with the end result being the use of non-performing decorative fixtures combined with redundant high-level equipment to provide the required illumination," said Bill Foley, vice president and general manager of Kim Lighting. "Era Lantern brings together the best of both worlds: high performance and period style."

To help architects and building professionals select the right lighting for their projects, Kim Lighting offers the online Luminaire Configurator. The online Luminaire Configurator is a Web-based tool that enables users to select a luminaire, arm and mount, pole and base of a lighting product and see what the combination of elements will look like. Users can mix and match, selecting different parts to create the design solution that works best for their projects. Users can also upload their own digital photo backgrounds to see how their finished design will blend with its actual environment. The tool also offers a selection of stock backgrounds to choose from, including a park path, night streetscape, city hall, B&B driveway, college campus, capitol dome and a plaza fountain. The online Luminaire Configurator can be accessed for free at www.KimLighting.com, with no user names or passwords required.

These include roadway, pedestrian, low-level and building-mounted solutions for contemporary or traditional commercial, industrial and institutional applications.
