Eaton to Showcase Integrated Lighting Controls and Innovation Leadership at
2014 LIGHTFAIR International
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. … Power management company Eaton will showcase its intuitive,
intelligent controls solutions from its Cooper Lighting business at the 2014 LIGHTFAIR
International conference on June 1 through 5, 2014, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in
Las Vegas. Visitors at Eaton’s booth (#3824) can learn how its Cooper Lighting business is
integrating controls systems throughout its portfolio and view high-performing lighting
solutions that help deliver new levels of performance, quality and return on investment,
including its award-winning WaveStream™ light-emitting diode (LED) technology, as well as
the industry’s first Wi-Fi-based lighting control system.
“One of the biggest transitions in the market today is the rapid change from traditional
technologies to more energy-efficient LED solutions, as lighting alone accounts for
approximately 18 percent of the total energy used in the U.S.,” said Mark Eubanks, president,
Eaton’s Cooper Lighting Division. “Our customers, who require reliable lighting performance
for their operations, are using our LED and controls products to become more energy efficient,
more readily comply with strict and ever-changing energy codes and stem the tide of rising
energy costs, as well as to improve the overall ambiance of their environment.”
Highlighting its 100 years of innovation in power management, lighting and control capability,
the company’s exhibition booth at LIGHTFAIR International will include a number of products
with its patented WaveStream LED technology, serving key commercial, residential, industrial,
retail and parking garage/canopy applications. The company will also showcase a new

standard, including an industry first battery-operated Wi-Fi occupancy sensor with a 10-year
battery life.
The LED products on display at LIGHTFAIR will demonstrate the latest innovations in
luminaire design that are specific to customer needs, including individual addressability of
fixtures within commercial buildings, energy savings and improved patient experience for
