PolyBrite International, Inc., an innovative global lighting technology company that develops state of the art LED lighting systems, recently installed its famous Borealis LED lamps at the Illinois Executive Mansion in Springfield. As one of the three successful brands of PolyBrite International, Borealis lamps consume up to 90% less energy than traditional incandescent lighting and provide up to 50,000 hours of operation.
 
Borealis LED lamps have replaced Fluorescent bulbs in the Mansion’s office and work spaces and B10 candelabra bulbs in its chandeliers. The virtually unbreakable Borealis lamps eliminate maintenance and bulb replacement, are RoHS compliant with no mercury or environmentally hazardous materials, and designed for efficient heat management that reduces air conditioning costs.
 
“We applaud Governor Quinn’s sustainability initiatives to ensure greater energy efficiency that not only preserves our historical assets, but protects our environment and also saves taxpayers’ money,” said Carl Scianna, President and CEO of PolyBrite International.  Mr. Scianna further noted that “The role of energy efficiency in reducing our state’s fiscal burden cannot be underestimated, and we can help accomplish this with clean and better quality lighting.  Moreover, as an Illinois company, we are proud to be contributing to the creation of green jobs in our state.”
