the Leader in Lighting for the Eleventh Consecutive Year
Halo sweeps all four lighting categories including Brand Familiarity, Brand Used in Past 2 Years,

PEACHTREE CITY, Ga., January 21, 2010 – Cooper Lighting, a division of Cooper Industries, Ltd. (NYSE:
CBE), has announced that its Halo brand of recessed and track lighting has once again been named by Builder
Magazine as the Brand Leader in lighting. Sweeping all four categories for the eleventh consecutive year, Halo
was awarded first place in the lighting categories of Brand Familiarity, Brand Used in Past 2 Years, Brand Used
Most, and Quality.
“For over 50 years Halo has adapted to the needs of our customers in the recessed and track lighting market
and continues to provide best in class features and benefits such as the Halo LED Downlight, which was the first
ENERGY STAR® qualified LED recessed downlight available. Customers responded again by naming Halo the
industry leader in quality and usage for the 11th consecutive year,” said Neil Schrimsher, President, Cooper
Lighting. “Recognition by such highly regarded industry publications such as Builder, is a realization that Cooper
Lighting continues its leadership in the commercial, industrial and residential lighting markets.”
The Builder 2009 Brand Use Study by Readex Research, an independent research company, surveys in depth
the brands builders know best, the ones they use the most, and the ones they rate the highest in quality.
