In April we were present at one of the largest trade fairs for lighting in the world  Light + Building in Frankfurt. Fair with 2.458 exhibitors from more  than 60 countries and 211.500 visitors takes place every two year.

This year four types of retro luminaries which are especially suitable for old city centers, cultural sites and architectural lighting purposes were introduced. As one of the major innovations was introduced a program of internal lighting. Showed luminaries are primarily suited for lighting offices, commercial buildings, hospitals, staircases etc.

One of our features was representing intelligent lighting for outdoor and indoor installations. Intelligent system is compatible with 1-10 V regulation for outdoor and DALI protocol for indoor lighting.

Our LED luminaries are now eligible for Rebates, Incentives and Resources from some of the largest utilities in the country that are members of DLC.

LED street light Aerolite LSL^®15, 30, 60 and 90 families are listed on the DesignLights™ Consortium (“DLC”) Qualified Products List. The DLC Qualified Products List supports only high-quality, high-performing commercial LED products. 

DLC qualification helps accelerate market acceptance of LED luminaries as it provides assurance that the product meets stringent criteria for energy efficiency, performance and longevity. It also allows end users to participate in many local utility rebate programs to help defray the cost of their upgrades as they reduce demand on the electrical grid.

Macedonian energy company Makpetrol has been continuing joint project with us, which we have started together last year. The first petrol station along the highway Skopje–Gevgelija was an important stepping stone for further collaboration. To this day already 15 petrol stations have been equipped with ultra energy efficient Aerolite LSL^® LED street lights and LCL^® LED commercial lights. Replaced LED luminaires give substantially better light performance and use considerably less energy. Quick and easy installation means additional savings. Macedonian energy giant chose us due to the best Quality-Price ratio. Further cooperation is foreseen in the coming year in the form of gradual replacement of old, inefficient lamps with the new LED technology at remaining petrol stations.

Grah Automotive together with its general USA partner Ekobase Global will exhibit on the Strategies in Light, from 22.-24.02.2011 in Santa Clara convention centre in California. You are welcome to visit us at booth 538. This year record-breaking attendance with special programs for lighting designers, architects and luminaire manufacturers is expected.
