Date Announced: 19 Feb 2009 ilumisys channel partner, IHNcorp, supports luxury resort’s carbon footprint reduction initiativeTroy, Michigan – ilumisys, Inc., developer and producer of next-generation solid-state lighting technology, announces that its channel partner IHNcorp has installed several LED light tubes at Four Seasons Resort Aviara in Carlsbad, Calif.Los Angeles-based IHNcorp and its subsidiary Ecogreen Solutions Inc. replaced fluorescent lights with ilumisys MK1 T-8 LED light tubes in select areas of the hotel. “Four Seasons Resort Aviara is taking steps to reduce its carbon footprint, and the lighting we use is a top priority,” said Ron Parker, Aviara’s director of engineering. “Our clients look to us to be environmentally conscious, and we’re evaluating all of our options for a greener experience.”The Resort also is working with ilumisys to provide feedback on the performance of the tubes to help improve the design and functionality of ilumisys lighting technology.“Businesses that need to keep the lights on 24/7 realize that there are more efficient and sustainable methods for lighting than florescent tubes,” said ilumisys President Dave Simon. “The LED market is growing rapidly, and by simplifying installation, our commercial grade lighting technology is clearly enabling broader adoption of solid-state lighting.”In addition to providing an energy efficient alternative, unlike the fluorescent tubes they replace, the ilumisys tubes are mercury-free. The 500 million to 600 million fluorescent tubes discarded annually in the United States introduce an estimated two to four tons of mercury to the environment, despite industry and government efforts to limit mercury content and encourage recycling.ilumisys, formed in 2007, is a spinoff of Altair, a global software and technology company that has a growing presence in the energy market.
