The Future of Residential Lighting is Now - Permlight LED Lighting Used in Warmington Fiori Homes in Carlsbad California

July 24, 2006

TUSTIN, Calif., July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Permlight announced today that it continues to drive forward with massive adoption of its residential LED technology in the new home construction market with the opening of the Fiori at La Costa Ridge model homes built by Warmington Homes. The Fiori at La Costa Ridge homes range in size from 3,500 - 5,000 square feet and use the newest and highest technology lighting product available in the market. The line of Enbryten HI-EF LEDs are used for overhead lighting and undercabinet lighting and offer warm white lighting at 1/5th the power of comparable incandescent lighting. "The acceptance of our LED lighting technology in homes is taking off quickly," commented Stephanie Moon, Residential Sales Manager of Permlight. "We see Warmington Homes as being one of the most progressive builders in California by offering LED lighting as a standard feature in their homes. The lighting will last 15-20 years before it needs to be replaced, is fully dimmable, and doesn't contain an ounce of hazardous materials like fluorescent lighting." Permlight's line of Enbryten products won the Green Building product of the year award in 2005 and are being used extensively by homebuilders in California to comply with Title 24, a new Energy law. Four generations ago, the Warmington name achievd recognition as one of the region's foremost builders of classic estate homes for some of the decade's emerging screen legends including Claudette Colbert, Bing Crosby, Henry Fonda, Tyrone Power and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. By the 1930's Warmington had become unofficially known as the "builder to the stars," and was designing and building custom homes in some of the country's most prestigious locations -- Beverly Hills, Bel Air and Westwood, among others. In the 1940's Warmington began to make a mark in the homebuilding industry by creating well-planned neighborhoods designed to meet the needs of the middle American family. Although less grand in scale, these homes reflected the same quality craftsmanship and attention to detail that were present in the grand estate homes first built.
