Gucci Selects Energy-Efficient Lighting from LED Folio Corporation to Illuminate New Flagship Store in NYC’s Trump Tower

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LED Folio Corporation, a maker of cutting-edge, energy-efficient solid state lighting fixtures, has contracted with Gucci for the illumination of their pilot store in midtown Manhattan.

“Gucci’s use of these fixtures marks an important milestone”

“Gucci’s use of these fixtures marks an important milestone,” said Dr. Steven Kim, Chief Executive Officer of LED Folio Corporation, “both for our product and LED lighting in general. By offering affordable, energy efficient and beautiful lighting products, we are broadening the potential applications for LEDs to include residential and commercial lighting. With today’s increased focus on the environment, LED Folio is thrilled to be able to provide an immediately viable and aesthetically pleasing lighting alternative for Gucci and our other clients.”

Over 1,500 feet of LED Folio’s LinearLux fixtures will be placed along the façade of the Gucci store and entrance to the famed Trump Tower on 5^th Avenue between 57^th and 58^th streets and will provide energy-efficient illumination for the exterior and interior of the store. Construction is already underway and is slated for completion in the Fall.

“The LinearLux is durable, efficient, and dimmable. It provides a beautiful, soft light,” says Chief Operating Officer, Donald Peifer. “What is most remarkable about our product is the profile. All of our standard fixtures are less than 1/2” thick. In the case of an office building, this means that ceiling heights can be reduced and building materials conserved. The potential impact of an energy efficient, low-profile fixture like this on the built environment is enormous.”

LED Folio Corporation uses state of the art technology to create a low-profile, highly-efficient and aesthetically-pleasing family of light fixtures. Strategic alliances with WooYoung and the use of their LCD technology along with a catalog of design patents helps to insure quality assurance and some of the lowest prices in the industry. Our goal is to offer general lighting that stresses the quality of light in a unique, maintenance free package—a market shifting solution to today’s lighting world.
