elliptipar tambient SITE MAP NEWS REP LOGIN CONTACT US ABOUT US PRODUCTS ASSISTANCE PORTFOLIO LEARNING CENTER RESOURCES We are manufacturers, employers and community members. We are part of an industry immersed in technology, energy and environmental impact. Responsibility factors into virtually every business decision we make. Energy Efficiency Our founder, Sylvan R. Shemitz, engineered the elliptipar® reflector to harness the physics of light. To generate more light with fewer luminaires – an energy saving solution ahead of its time. That thinking continues today. By focusing on next generation optics, the latest lamp technologies and unparalleled quality and workmanship, The Lighting Quotient is able to meet and exceed the most stringent standards of energy efficiency. Using ROI (return on investment) and LCA (life cycle assessment) considerations in developing new products. Producing products with life expectancies of 20 years or more, which can be then easily upgraded, refurbished or recycled at end of life. Meeting or exceeding IESNA recommended light levels and ASHRA/IESNA Energy Standards whenever possible and contributing credits toward LEED certification for projects. Developing products that work in harmony with daylight harvesting, occupancy sensors and other energy saving controls. Inventing the tambient® line of task ambient lighting systems that can light an open plan office with a fraction of the energy required by traditional lighting systems. Social Responsibility We believe in the power of human potential. In fact, we rely on it. So we invest in it. Protect it. And ensure it can grow within our company without restriction. Providing a safe, healthy work environment for our employees. Following personnel practices that guarantee a work environment free of harassment and discrimination. Guaranteeing freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining. Providing access to health care for employees and their families. Offering employees the necessary training, information and support to succeed. Terms of Use | ©2021 The Lighting Quotient
