Delivery of the new reactor will take place in the fourth quarter of 2011

Underlying—and enhancing—the rill's aesthetics, Lighting Science Group's LED bulbs beautifully highlight the trees without costing the Dallas Arboretum unnecessary electricity and maintenance expenses.Implemented by Unique Lighting of Texas, Beck Construction, and Rowland Jackson Landscape Architects, the LED system consumes only 1830 total watts; a figure led high bay light closely matched by any average 1800 watt hairdryer and dwarfed by the 21,350 watts figure required by a mercury vapor lamp substitute. Not only energy efficient, but also eco-conscience, Lighting Science Group ensures that all of its product parts are sourced sustainably throughout the supply chain and at the end of a product lifecycle, remain entirely recyclable.

"Lighting Science Group's LED bulbs will enable thousands of Dallas area residents, students, and visitors to see the gardens and the Nancy Rutchik Red Maple Rill, specifically in a whole new light. Our products not only augment the natural beauty of the grounds themselves, but promote an appreciation for the applications of environmentally-friendly and energy efficient design," said Jim Haworth, chairman and chief executive officer of Lighting Science Group.

LumiGrow, Inc., the leader in smart horticultural lighting, enables commercial growers and agribusinesses to reduce energy costs, achieve operational efficiencies and improve crop yield. LumiGrow offers a range of third-party proven solutions for use in greenhouses, controlled environment agriculture and scientific research chambers.Additionally, the LED lighting manufacturer projects that this energy savings will translate into $5,666 in electrical bill savings, based on Rocky Mountain Power's current rate of 4.2 cents per kilowatt-hour and not adjusted for possible rate increases, over the LED lights' 10-year lifespan.

The order came in the third quarter of 2011, initially for the CRIUS II-L version, and was immediately converted into Aixtron′s brand new XL-configuration right after its launch. Delivery of the new reactor will take place in the fourth quarter of 2011.
