The DOE Solid-State Lighting (SSL) Quality Advocates program recently granted Finelite, Inc. the Lighting Facts Label for its LED task lighting, PLS (Personal Lighting System). The entire line of PLS Undercabinet lights and Desk Lamps will carry the Lighting Facts™ Label, and Finelite is pleased to be the first and only (as of August 17, 2009) manufacturer of Portable Desk Lamps AND Shelf-mounted Task Lights to give customers this level of product performance assurance.
Finelite pledged its support to the SSL Quality Advocates program by becoming a manufacturing partner earlier this month. The Lighting Facts™ Label demonstrates Finelite’s commitment to disclosing product performance in support of high quality products. According to founder and CEO, Terry Clark, “Accurate reporting of LED product performance data is critical to accelerate market adoption and innovation. PLS LED task lighting can save over 50% of the energy used to light 10 billion square feet of existing offices in the US. Successful implementation depends on quality and reliability of the technology, and Finelite is committed to leading the industry in making data-driven claims of results. The Lighting Facts™ Label gives lighting designers, architects, engineers, utilities, and energy-efficiency organizations a valid tool to compare products with confidence.”
