Two Leaders Join Forces to Reduce Energy Use and Maintenance Costs for Customers
April 7, 2014. Mentor, Ohio and Westford, Massachusetts. EYE Lighting International and CIMCON Lighting announced today they have signed a sales and marketing agreement in which both companies will cooperate to promote and sell outdoor lighting wireless control systems that feature the latest technology in luminaire design and wireless lighting management. EYE Lighting is known for its highly regarded kiaroLED® and Aphos™ LED brands, both of which deliver exceptional light coverage and color quality. CIMCON pioneered “Just in Time Lighting™” which reduces energy, maintenance and repair costs while improving total ROI through the use of wireless lighting controls. Customers can expect to save 30% on energy and 50% on maintenance in new or retrofit systems provided by EYE and CIMCON.
With its 20+ year history in manufacturing high performance lamps and luminaires, EYE has strength in the utility, commercial and institutional markets. “The ultimate winner in our partnership with CIMCON Lighting is the customer,” said Tom Salpietra, president and COO of EYE Lighting. “We are
pleased to have a formal agreement with one of the world’s leading suppliers of intelligent lighting controls, and now believe we offer the finest total system components to lighting specifiers and professionals.”
Anil Agrawal, Director at CIMCON Lighting, agreed, “CIMCON is pleased to join forces with EYE Lighting and work with products that are highly compatible and enhance our lighting controls. EYE Lighting’s excellent products and experience in key markets will result in accelerated growth for both companies.” LightingGale™, CIMCON’s new intelligent wireless control system, offers dimming, On/Off, metering, diagnostics and web-based real-time management and reporting. Users report that the uniquely designed graphical interface is highly intuitive and easy to learn and use.
With lighting costs accounting for 30%-40% of most non-residential electric bills, the trend toward sophisticated lighting management is growing rapidly. Utilities, municipalities, campuses, parking facilities, industrial and commercial complexes, and government buildings are all seeking upgraded lighting with rapid payback on their investment. Salpietra concluded, “The combined appeal of two strong product lines will find traction with utility managers, ESCOs, contractors, facility managers and lighting professionals. EYE and CIMCON lighting systems will become the standard for lighting delivery and control.”
