LYTS LSI Industries Inc

LSI Industries Inc. (Nasdaq:LYTS) announced the introduction of LED Refrigerated Case Lighting to its line-up of LED offerings. Called the RCL, these case lighting fixtures deliver brighter, more uniform levels of crisp white light that makes merchandise appear fresh and appealing to shoppers. In addition to tremendous performance, the LED refrigerated case light is very energy efficient – saving up to 55% in energy as compared to traditional fluorescent T8 case lighting. It is easy to install and built to last, with up to 100,000 hours in expected LED life, and includes LSI's 5-year warranty. The rugged design resists damage and displacement during restocking. This low profile fixture is available in 60" and 72" lengths and is oriented vertically in the case door.
