SOLON, Ohio, Dec. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fiberstars, Inc. , the global leader in fiber optic lighting, today announced that dynamic project design and management firm Richard Heath Associates (RHA) will offer Fiberstars EFO-ICE (Fiberstars' fiber optic solution specifically developed for refrigeration cases and other low temperature applications) commercial customers as part of the organization's energy savings program. RHA provides project management and technical services to small commercial businesses including grocery stores and other small commercial firms. RHA will offer Fiberstars' fiber optic lighting systems for refrigerated display cases as part of an energy efficient retrofit program.

A 2006 study by Southern California Edison showed that Fiberstars EFO-ICE requires only 1/3 the energy of state-of-the-art fluorescent lighting while providing comparable luminance. Because of this exceptional energy savings, Fiberstars EFO-ICE helps RHA projects to qualify for zero interest loans for the retrofit projects. A mini-mart in Fresno, CA, is the first RHA customer to take advantage of this highly efficient fiber optic lighting system and additional green RHA retrofits are in progress for next year.

"Fiberstars EFO-ICE is the most efficient refrigerated display case lighting system available and we are excited about the relationship with RHA and opportunity for new EFO-ICE installations," said Fiberstars CEO John Davenport. "Traditional lamp-and-ballast systems add additional and unnecessary heat into refrigerated display cases, driving up energy consumption and costs for retailers as the compressor works harder to cope with the additional heat. Since the EFO-ICE light source is outside of the display case, our illuminators do not add additional heat into the case. Also, a customer can expect further savings because EFO-ICE's lamp life is typically twice that of fluorescents and a single EFO-ICE bulb replaces up to four fluorescent tubes, greatly reducing maintenance and replacement costs."

"We are looking forward to further implementing this technology in 2007 and believe that there are great possibilities for many of our customers to take advantage of the significant energy savings," said Jill Wagner, RHA Marketing Manager. "We work with small businesses who operate on a very tight budget and any money they can save in energy costs goes directly to their bottom line."

Recognized for leading public outreach programs serving more than 10 million people, Richard Heath Associates, Inc. joins Albertsons, Whole Foods and other major grocery retailers utilizing Fiberstars' EFO-ICO systems in addition to the retailers, restaurants, museums around the world using Fiberstars energy-efficient lighting products.
