Orion earns lighting award from magazine

Herald Times Reporter

MANITOWOC — Orion Energy Systems was awarded first place in the lighting category at the Plant Engineering Product of the Year Awards held Monday.

Orion's exterior lighting uses fluorescent technology to reduce energy consumptionand costs by 50 percent when compared to high-intensity discharge lighting traditionally used to illuminate parking lots and other outdoor areas after dark.

"We're honored to receive a top award from Plant Engineering magazine for the second year in a row," said Orion CEO Neal Verfuerth. "The fact that the publication's readers selected our Apollo solar light pipe as the Grand Award winner last year and our energy efficient exterior platform this year validates that plant managers recognize Orion as the energy-efficiency technology leader."
