Sustainable Choices

LED lighting holds the promise of sustainability because it uses less energyto provide the same amount of light as traditional forms, and it’s manufacturedwithout the use of hazardous materials. But how much “greener” any LEDsubstitute is over traditional lighting is a matter of product quality. AcuityBrands is thoroughly dedicated to energy and environmental conservation, so youcan trust our products to perform to their stated – and independently tested –specifications. 

Energy Consumption

One reason LED lighting consumes less energy than standard lighting isbecause most of the energy fed to a light-emitting diode, an LED, goes directlyinto producing usable light, not into generating significant heat, hot spots, orstray light.

Greener Lifestyles

Because they’re made without lead or mercury and give off no harmful UVradiation, LEDs promise a significant reduction in the amount of toxinsgenerally associated with lighting.
