Including pages dedicated to available products, the advantages of choosing LED lighting and cost calculations, the site shines a light on efficiency and the benefits of expanding LED technology. “As the industry continues to change, more and more companies are looking for cost-effective, environmentally friendly solutions,” said Andrew Agan, global product line manager, lighting, CrouseHinds Division. “What most don’t realize is that choosing LED options can play a big role in building a company’s bottom line. Offering decreased energy use, increased product life and reduced maintenance, switching from traditional fixtures to LED solutions can save a great deal of money over the life of the fixture.” To highlight cost savings, the new microsite includes an in-depth section focused solely on the advantages of choosing LED products. Here, visitors can learn about lighting types and savings options associated with LED solutions and view charts highlighting product life, lumen output and overall efficiency. For added cost savings clarity, the site also includes a LED cost calculator for each product. Users can select the desired LED solutions and input project specifications to precisely calculate a job’s overall cost and energy savings compared to selected types of fixtures. Not only will the site provide specifics regarding energy and maintenance savings, it will also provide users with details comparing total cost of ownership as well as equivalent environmental impact results. -More- Cooper Crouse-Hinds – Page 2 Showcasing the company’s long history in the lighting market, the site also features more than a dozen LED product lines and solutions.
