OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER

Challenge: The United Nations Headquarters in New York City hosts countless meetings, seminars, and events in multiple buildings located across their sprawling Upper East Side campus. Thousands of people report to work there on a daily basis. The UN has been under-going renovations for nearly 10 years, committed to going green and achieving LEED Silver status. With a goal of reducing energy consumption and costs, the UN recently evaluated their interior lighting and decided to make some changes.

Products Used: Keystone DirectDrive T8 LED Tubes, Keystone DirectDrive Wiring Harnesses with Power Quick Disconnect

The Solution from Keystone: The UN selected tubes with Keystone’s DirectDrive technology, which bypasses the ballast and uses line voltage connected directly to the lamp sockets. With DirectDrive, they were able to keep the existing fixtures, which made sound environmental and financial sense. It also meant they could use Keystone’s innovative wiring harness, designed specifically for LED tube upgrades, which drastically reduced installation time.

Result: The UN is enjoying impressive light output with almost no future maintenance, while saving nearly 50% in energy costs.

Keystone Lands Prime Location at LightFairLightFair 2016, San Diego, CA

When attendees entered the trade show floor at LightFair in April, the Keystone booth was practically the first thing they saw. The show was well-attended and, with a prime booth location, the Keystone sales staff was busy the entire show. Customers were excited by Keystone’s newest products including SmartSafe LED Emergency Back-Up, FutureFit LED retrofit kits, and HID LED lamps. We can’t wait to exhibit again next year at LightFair in Philadelphia!

Why Retrofit when you can Future Fit?

Keystone’s award-winning, innovative Future Fit LED kits are the ideal solution to convert legacy fixtures into energy-efficient LED systems.

Keystone pre-packages the appropriate Keystone drivers, modules and mounting accessories which means that the LED retrofit can be installed quickly and easily either in the field or at the point of fixture manufacture.

We did all the safety testing and performance verification, so upgrading to LED is as easy as zip-screwing in these clever Future Fit LED kits, only from Keystone. Available in circular, rectangular, linear, and sconce

and featuring a 10 year warranty.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

MAKING CONNECTIONS

Future Fit LED Kits Win 2 Awards at NAILD Annual Conference

Keystone has received two prestigious product awards from NAILD, the National Association of Independent Lighting Distributors. Keystone’s FutureFit LED Retrofit Kits won the top prize for Best Overall Product, and also won in the Driver/Ballast category.

FutureFit is an innovative product that fills a significant gap in LED retrofit offerings for wall sconces, surface mount fixtures, low wattage wallpacks and canopy fixtures. All of the FutureFit kits carry a 10 year warranty and they are pre-wired and pre-mounted, so installation is quick and easy. There is nothing like it on the market.

The awards were presented at NAILD’s 2016 conference in San Antonio, Texas in April. “We are so proud that Keystone has been honored by NAILD,” said Ira Greenberg, CEO of Keystone. “It’s really exciting that this group of dedicated lighting professionals has recognized Keystone’s commitment to developing and expanding LED solutions in a rapidly changing marketplace.”
