Ledalite’s ecoSTEP™ initiative introduces green lighting solutions

Ledalite continues to develop innovative products using advanced technologies that conserve energy. The new ecoSTEP™ program highlights ways to reduce the carbon footprint and move towards a more environmentally responsible future.

A part of the ecoSTEP program, Ledalite’s 2’x2’ Pique, PureFX, Vectra, and Voice recessed product families are now available with the new 25W Philips Energy Advantage lamp.  This enhanced combination of high performance MesoOptics and efficient lamping dramatically boosts fixture efficiencies as high as 87% and provides significant energy savings while enhancing the quality of the luminous environment. Applying ecoSTEP combinations means using fewer luminaires with wider spacing between fixtures, 68% less mercury content, and  delivering energy savings of 25%-35%. This new option is available on the 10-day QuickShip program.
