American Lighting Announces Energy Star Certified, High Output, Extended-Life Lighting Options

Energy Efficient Low Profile Lighting Provides Alternatives to Traditional Fluorescent

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Lighting, an innovative manufacturer and distributor of lighting technologies for residential, commercial and specialty markets, today announced long-life, high output light fixtures in sleek, compact designs built for the residential and architectural markets. The Energy Star rated, LEED certified PRIORI T2, as well as the Ultra Thin T2, exceed the performance of traditional fluorescent tubes and save energy as they operate at much lower temperatures than conventional light sources.

“We’re pleased to bring to market the latest in high output lighting. Our customers have new alternatives for their task lighting needs”

Easy to install, the PRIORI T2 delivers exceptional quality of light, providing the industry’s only direct-wire high lumen output, high color rendering (90 CRI) and warm color temperatures (3000° Kelvin). The Ultra Thin T2 combines 3500° Kelvin white light with 260° of light distribution for either plug-in use or direct wire applications when used with the slim-line hardwire box. The small form factor and low profile design of each light fixture allows for simplified installation and operation in a variety of locations including work areas, cove lighting, under cabinet applications, display boards and any tight space that needs clear, bright light.

“We’re pleased to bring to market the latest in high output lighting. Our customers have new alternatives for their task lighting needs,” said David Wilkins, CEO, American Lighting. “With the new PRIORI and Ultra Thin T2 options our customers now have access to easy to use, linkable energy efficient lighting.”

Both fixtures use subminiature fluorescent technology that produces more than 40 lumens per watt, which saves 75 percent or more energy over incandescent lighting. The high color rendering provides natural light for showing true colors.

Additional features include:

• PRIORI T2:
  • Energy Star rate, LEED certified (14” and 22” lengths)
  • Low Profile design, only 15/16” high
  • Bright white light, 30 percent more than T4 and T5 fixtures

  • Linkable 120V design speeds installation and allows runs up to 10 fixtures
  • Small housing easily fits in small coves, under cabinets and behind backlit surfaces
  • Long life, T2 fluorescent lamps last 10,000 hours (average rated life)
  • Easy installation, use with slim-line hardwire box for hardwire installations or just plug in with six foot power cord (included)
