the standard coverage terms for optimal performance over the extended lifetime of the luminaire

According to National Grid, the LED lighting retrofit will pay for itself in about 33 months. This energy savings project has removed pollutants from the air and is estimated to have the same effect on the environment as removing 20,537 pounds of greenhouse gases or planting 330 trees according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency calculations.

Finelite Inc., a leader in high performance commercial building lighting systems, unveiled a new, industry-leading 10-year warranty for its High Performance Recessed LED (HPR-LED) luminaire collection. At twice the industry standard for lifetime operating hours, this warranty also doubles the standard coverage terms for optimal performance over the extended lifetime of the luminaire.

"This customer-friendly 10-year warranty demonstrates our absolute confidence in the robust luminaire design of HPR-LED, and our commitment to make lighting design a key driver for energy efficient buildings," said Terry Clark, Finelite chairman and chief technology officer. "This is yet another assurance that our quality indoor LED luminaires are solidly backed by service levels Finelite customers have come to expect."

The HPR-LED collection, introduced last fall, is a distinct new ambient luminaire for all conditioned spaces and is a critical part of Finelite's commitment to a Net-Zero Energy future. It integrates Finelite's mid-power LED approach to deliver exceptional energy efficiency and lumen maintenance over the product lifetime. With an independently verified L90 lifetime (90% lumen maintenance) of 100,000 hours, the warranty covers the luminaire, LED light engine, driver, replacement parts and shipping. If the luminaire delivers less than 90% light output during the 10-year warranty period, Finelite will supply the replacement parts. Finelite even makes the replacement process easy, as all HPR-LED luminaires are 100% serviceable from below.
