PEACHTREE CITY, GA, June 2, 2011 – Cooper Lighting, a division of Cooper Industries plc (NYSE:
CBE), has announced that its Halo brand of recessed and track lighting products has once again been
named by Builder magazine as the Brand Leader in lighting. Awarded for the thirteenth consecutive year,
Halo was awarded top honors in the lighting categories of Brand Familiarity, Brand Used in Past 2 Years
and Brand Used Most. The company was featured in Builder’s April issue.
“Halo is proud to be honored by the builder community again this year as their preferred choice for
lighting products,” says Mark Eubanks, President, Cooper Lighting. “We are constantly working to
understand our customers’ business goals and to develop products that meet their needs. We will
continue to adopt and adapt to the latest advancements in lighting technology to provide the most
innovative, high quality, energy-efficient lighting products available.”
Cooper Lighting, which developed the first ENERGY STAR® qualified LED recessed downlight, remains
committed to providing a wide range of industry-leading, energy-efficient recessed technologies including
CFL and LED options to meet the challenging needs of builders in today’s marketplace. As legislation
requires lighting products to advance beyond the incandescent options used today, Cooper aims to help
builders adhere to the changing energy landscape with industry leading technology, variety and service.
