Intertek ETL Safety Approved Swarco's Futurlux LED Streetlights

SWARCO Traffic Americas has received Intertek ETL safety approval for its US based FUTURLUX LED streetlights.

Frank Harder,CEO of SWARCO Traffic Americas,pointed out that"We've gone from zero to one-hundred in six months opening our US headquarters,building a team,getting our FUTURLUX manufacturing in California off the ground and getting FUTURLUX approved for ETL for use throughout the country."

And Jim Helmer,Director of Strategy at SWARCO,has summarized two key reasons that municipalities and building owners are enthusiastic about ETL approved FUTURLUX,"First,with embedded communications technology and controls,the FUTURLUX solution delivers enhanced safety,monitor&control capabilities and environmental benefits.Second,FUTURLUX delivers 100 lumens per watt at the system level,resulting in energy reductions up to 80%."

More than just a LED street light,FUTURLUX was designed from the beginning to incorporate advanced controls and management capabilities allowing it to link to SWARCO's intelligent traffic management system or other control and guidance systems.
