Kim Lighting Launches Era(R) Lantern Series

New Product Series Combines State-of-the-Art Lighting Technology With a Variety of Architectural Styles, Periods and Themes for Heritage Projects

CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA–(EMWNews – August 20, 2008) – Kim Lighting, a leading manufacturer

of outdoor architectural lighting, announced today the launch of the Era

Lantern Series, an extension of the popular Era Series of traditionally

styled high performance luminaires.

The Era Lantern Series offers an extensive selection of customizable pole

and wall mounted heritage luminaires for roadway, landscape and area site

lighting projects. The combinations are many, with 15 different arm styles

to choose from that can be matched with any of three pole options, three

bases, six reflector types, four IES light distribution patterns as well as

a selection of decorative accents, optional lantern enclosures, mounting

configurations and pole caps. The Era Lantern is available with a full

lantern-style diffuser lens or StarView® dark sky compliant with flat glass

lens and horizontal lamp.

“Lighting an area with historic architectural design standards has

typically presented challenges for specifiers, with the end result being

the use of non-performing decorative fixtures combined with redundant

high-level equipment to provide the required illumination,” said Bill

Foley, vice president and general manager of Kim Lighting. “Era Lantern

brings together the best of both worlds: high performance and period

style.”

To help architects and building professionals select the right lighting for

their projects, Kim Lighting offers the online Luminaire Configurator. The

online Luminaire Configurator is a Web-based tool that enables users to

select a luminaire, arm and mount, pole and base of a lighting product and

see what the combination of elements will look like. Users can mix and

match, selecting different parts to create the design solution that works

best for their projects. Users can also upload their own digital photo

backgrounds to see how their finished design will blend with its actual

environment. The tool also offers a selection of stock backgrounds to

choose from, including a park path, night streetscape, city hall, B&B

driveway, college campus, capitol dome and a plaza fountain. The online

Luminaire Configurator can be accessed for free at www.KimLighting.com,

with no user names or passwords required.
