Toshiba now selling outdoor LED lighting fixtures

Houston-based Toshiba International Corp., a U.S. subsidiary of the giant Japanese conglomerate, is now marketing LED outdoor lighting fixtures for roadway, area, and high- and low-bay lighting applications. The company recently entered into an agreement with San Antonio, Texas-based GreenStar Products, Inc. to produce the LED luminaires, and Toshiba is now marketing, selling and distributing these products in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. Toshiba said the luminaires have a rated life of 60,000 hours or 12 to 14 years, six times as long as metal-halide and twice as long as high-pressure sodium products.
