CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nexxus Lighting, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEXS), a world leader in advanced lighting technology, including solid-state LED and fiber optic lighting systems and controls used in commercial, architectural, signage, swimming pool and retail lighting today announced that several of its LED products, including its new Savi™ LED light bulb and LED Flood Strip, will be featured in Georgia Techs’ entry into the 2007 Solar Decathlon. The Solar Decathlon 2007 is an international competition between twenty universities to design, transport and commission an 800 square foot solar powered house on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. in October 2007. The competition is sponsored by the US Department of Energy and is supported by BP Solar, Sprint, US Green Building Council, National Association of Home Builders, American Institute of Architects and ASHRAE. The Georgia Institute of Technology is the only university in the southeast selected to participate in this competition. George Tech’s College of Architecture is leading the project and working in collaboration with more than eighty students and faculty from the colleges of Engineering, Management and Sciences at all levels of the university: undergraduate, graduate and Ph.D.
“Nexxus Lighting is working with Georgia Tech to showcase the benefits of LED lighting systems in this unique solar power project,” stated Ralph Genova, VP of Sales for Nexxus Lighting. “LED lighting technology is extremely energy efficient, which is critical in alternative energy supplied structures, and has other unique attributes. Unlike compact fluorescent lamps that contain hazardous chemicals, our LED products do not contain mercury and therefore are truly an environmentally friendly light source, and they last up to 25 times longer than traditional incandescent light bulbs. We are very excited to support Georgia Tech in their efforts,” concluded Mr. Genova.
“Students working on this house have pushed the limits of residential technologies in all avenues ranging from solar technologies, architectural materials, engineering systems, lighting, and automation techniques,” stated Ruchi Choudhary, Assistant Professor of Architecture and Ph.D. Programs, College of Architecture at Georgia Tech.
“By providing the team with state-of-the-art LED light fixtures, Nexxus Lighting has contributed significantly towards upholding the spirit of innovation in the Georgia Tech Solar Decathlon House. Nexxus Lighting's contribution serves many avenues, such as demonstrating the integration of LED and fluorescent lights for ambient lighting in residential applications, demonstrating the integration of LED lights with architectural components of the house, educating both students and the general public about the advantages of LED technology, and finally providing low energy lighting solutions for operating the house under limited reserves of solar energy,” concluded Dr. Choudhary.
Nexxus Lighting introduced its Savi™ LED line of commercial light bulbs earlier this year and is expanding its offering of LED based lighting products and controls later this year as part of its “Life’s Brighter™” green lighting initiative.
