From Cast Lighting LLC
There is an ever-increasing demand for energy-efficient lighting and for lighting that addresses other environmental concerns. For this reason, lighting manufacturers have responded in varying degrees with products designed with these goals in mind.
CAST Lighting LLC., from its inception, established rigorous standards ??for its luminaires, lamps, power supplies and other system components. Installation methods were also developed with the same intent. These standards embrace the following criteria: (These points are discussed in detail later in this document.)
Adherence to energy efficient low voltage (12-volt) lighting.??
Selection of lamps with highest possible lumen efficacy (lumens/??watts).
Selection of lamps with longest possible life.??
Luminaire design to maximize luminaire efficiency
??('emitted lumens' / 'lamp lumens').
Luminaire design to minimize light trespass and light pollution.??
Selection of materials in the construction of luminaires for maximum ??useful life and resistance to corrosion.
Selection of materials in the construction of wire to maximize resis??tance to corrosion and maintenance of conductivity.
Selection of highly energy efficient toroidal transformers.??
Establishment of installation methods that maximize energy efficiency ??of the lighting system and preserve this efficiency for an extended time.
