Eaton to Highlight Energy-Saving, Advanced Performance Solutions in
Residential Lighting and Wiring Devices at the 2015 PCBC Show
PITTSBURGH … Power management company Eaton, a 2015 ENERGY STAR® Partner of
the Year, will showcase its innovative and energy-savings solutions for the residential
building and construction industry at the 2015 PCBC trade show on June 24 and 25 in San
Diego, California, booth 917. Taking place at the San Diego Convention Center, the PCBC
show is the largest homebuilding trade show representing the West Coast region and Eaton’s
extensive lighting, wiring devices and other home building products will be on display.
Visitors to Eaton’s exhibition booth can get a better look into the development of LED lighting
– exploring how it has evolved, why it has become the optimal solution throughout the home
and the cost and maintenance savings generated by LED products. Offering the industry’s
most comprehensive portfolio of LED products, Eaton will showcase the innovative Halo®
ALLSLOPE LED downlight system for slope ceiling applications, as well as numerous
ENERGY STAR® certified and code-compliant recessed downlights, surface-mounted
products, undercabinet and track lighting luminaires.
”Today’s energy codes continue to raise lighting standards on the West Coast and
throughout the nation, increasing the demand for products and solutions that deliver
advanced performance and energy savings,” said Glenn Siegel, director, Marketing and
Product Management, Eaton’s Lighting Division. “Eaton will continue to help the building
community adhere to the changing energy landscape, and the PCBC show will once again
give us the opportunity to demonstrate our leadership.”

In addition to energy-efficient lighting solutions, show attendees will also be able to see a
number of residential and wiring device solutions including:
•
The Anyplace RF battery-operated switch enables homeowners and contractors to
install a switch anywhere in the home without installing additional wiring.
•
The Aspire RF wireless control is a customizable, energy-saving solution. This radio
frequency-based system includes one-touch controllers and a wide range of wiring
devices, enabling homeowners and contractors to create an integrated home control
network.
•
The Type CH Plug-on Neutral Loadcenters and Circuit Breakers enable the contractor
to connect the breaker directly to the neutral bar, eliminating the need for wiring a
pigtail and providing a time savings of up to 25 percent per AFCI and GFCI
installation.
•
Eaton’s Solar Power Centers combine both utility power and solar photovoltaic (PV)
power into one enclosure panel and feature industry-exclusive, factory-installed,
code-compliant markings, enabling installers quick and easy identification of product
ratings and location of the parallel energy source disconnect.
•
Eaton’s Complete Home Surge Protection product offering protects homeowners’
appliances and sensitive electronic equipment throughout the home during a surge
and simply installs at the breaker box.
•
The AF/GF circuit interrupters were developed in response to the 2014 National
Electrical Code that now requires AFCI protection in kitchens and laundry areas as
well as the historical requirement of ground fault protection.
•
The AFCI receptacles are designed to recognize an arc fault and quickly trip to stop
the flow of electricity to prevent the electrical system from being an ignition source of
a fire.
