Jason, talk about Acuity Brands

Acuity Brands is the largest lighting and controls manufacturer in North America, and I’m with the Holophane channel that specializes in lighting for infrastructure, industrial, and media.  So what we’re talking about today is our Holophane Sign-Vue II  LED fixture that’s been in the market for a few years and is designed exclusively for the billboard medium.

It’s a high efficiency light?

Correct.  We have engineered a cutting edge LED luminaire for our industry! At 120 lumens per watt, our fixture is the most efficient on the market.  Holophane has been manufacturing billboard fixtures for over 40 years.  We designed our Sign-Vue II LED luminaire to provide exceptional uniform illumination while saving energy and almost eliminating all maintenance cost.  Our proprietary prismatic borosilicate glass optics directs the light where it’s supposed to go…on the board.  No dark corners, hot spots, or fast depreciating lamps.  You’ll have close to the same light levels 10 years later!

What kind of savings do your lights have?

There’s huge savings.  The older HID technology including ballast pulls around 460 watts per luminaire.  Now by replacing with an efficient LED you’ll cut your usage to 108 watts per luminaire.  That’s the fastest way to a quick ROI from the energy savings and eliminating maintenance costs.

You’re telling me you can get a 78% decrease in energy use by installing a high efficiency light?

Correct.  We’ve seen after everything is installed, after months have gone by, your utility bill will average between a 60-78% savings.

Where are the lights made and are they impacted by tariffs?

Fortunately, we are not impacted by tariffs!  We have three manufacturing facilities providing material for the Sign Vue 2 family located in Indiana, Mezquital, and of course Newark OH.
