NEW YORK — Lighting Science Group (LSG), a global developer and integrator of intelligent and efficient light-emitting diode (LED) solutions, has announced the global availability of its LED-based retail display product line.
The LSG retail display luminaires provide retailers with environmentally friendly, energy-efficient solutions that significantly lower operating costs and reduce the carbon footprint, while enhancing the shopper experience. Ideal for indoor environments, the range will be available worldwide through Lighting Science's extensive channel partner network of agents, distributors, designers and energy service companies.
"Lighting Science is committed to driving the LED lighting industry with continuous innovation and real-world expertise," said Govi Rao, chairman and chief executive officer of Lighting Science Group. "This launch exemplifies our understanding of the technology and the unique needs of the retail market. With LSG's product design and semiconductor optimization expertise, we are introducing LED lighting options that provide high quality illumination that display merchandise in their true colors — without the ultraviolet light that discolors merchandise."
LEDs consume up to 80 percent less energy than traditional halogen sources and as much as 50 percent less than fluorescent bulbs. Furthermore, the differentiated line is RoHS compliant and since LEDs do not contain hazardous materials like lead, mercury and other heavy metals, the new lights do not require special disposal.
