EvoLucia Products Now UL-Listed
SARASOTA, Fla., Oct. 12, 2010 – Sunovia Energy (OTC Bulletin Board:SUNV) announced today that several of their EvoLucia®-brand Aimed LED lighting products have been recently tested and listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).® This is the most recent in a series of certifications the company has achieved; earlier this year, they announced that EvoLucia products, which are all "Made in America" and ARRA-compliant, were approved for federal government sales through the General Services Administration (GSA).
While UL testing and listing is not typically required by utilities for street lights, EvoLucia submits their products for UL testing as an added measure of quality, reliability and most importantly, safety.
"EvoLucia's commitment to standards and measured, guaranteed performance are exhibited through the design and testing of their Aimed LED products," said Rick Kauffman, current Chairman of the IES Standards Committee and the products' designer. "EvoLucia's Aimed Optics™ technology provides high-quality, accurately directed illumination for a lot less energy than anything else out there."
Sunovia's VP Sales, Jim Perkins, said, "UL listing of our products is a part of EvoLucia's go-to-market strategy to clearly communicate our complete commitment to the quality, reliability and safety of our outdoor LED lighting solutions while providing the best efficacy and efficiency in the market."
In addition to extensive testing, UL also issues certifications and conducts follow-up audits to ensure ongoing compliance.
Sunovia's first government customer was Camp Lejeune, a marine base in Jacksonville, N.C. Camp Lejeune installed Sunovia's EvoLucia LED streetlights on their campus last December. Camp Lejeune representatives noted that because of the high-quality LED light and the increased visibility, they are able to see colors and objects more clearly from farther distances – thus increasing security.
As another mark of quality, after another bank of rigorous testing, EvoLucia has obtained CE marking on its products. CE is a mark certifying for products being marketed and sold in the EU, Asia, Australia and Africa.
