Cooper Lighting to Showcase Expertise and Introduce
New LED Technology at LIGHTFAIR International 2011
Cooper Lighting will also honor SOURCE Awards winners at one of the largest annual
architectural and commercial lighting trade shows.
PEACHTREE CITY, GA, May 17, 2011 – Cooper Lighting, a division of Cooper Industries plc (NYSE:
CBE), is exhibiting its wide range of indoor and outdoor lighting products and solutions, as well as its new
proprietary LED technology, at LIGHTFAIR International 2011 (LFI) at the Pennsylvania Convention
Center in Philadelphia, May 17-19.
At its industry-leading LED Innovation Center, Cooper Lighting has internally developed and recently
launched the ALM 1.0, a patent pending linear LED platform designed to integrate into 32 luminaires
within the company’s historical linear fluorescent brands. The new, innovative technology and the range
of products that utilize it will be on display at Cooper Lighting’s LIGHTFAIR booth #1933.
The proprietary low-power, low-brightness LED module assembly offers exceptional optical performance,
equivalent to or greater than fluorescent systems, with the enhanced benefits of LED lighting, including
energy savings, an extended system life, a reduced carbon footprint and 15 to 20 percent reduced power
density (watts consumed per square foot). The new extensive interior product offering is represented
across Cooper Lighting’s Ametrix, Corelite, Fail-Safe, Metalux and Neo-Ray brands and provides
application solutions for recessed, surface or direct-indirect general illumination and wall wash solutions.
Cooper Lighting will also honor the winners of the 34th Annual SOURCE Awards national lighting design
competition at the Keynote Speaker Luncheon on May 16 at LIGHTFAIR International 2011. Six
professional awards and four student awards will be presented. The annual competition, which focuses
on furthering the understanding, knowledge and function of lighting as a primary element in design,
requires the primary and predominant use of Cooper Lighting products. Cooper Lighting has held this
competition since 1977.
