Our Commitment to Sustainable Practices and Social Programs

The LightSources group is committed to making the world a better place and we operate our companies with that goal in mind.  We pro-actively develop and implement sustainable business practices and greener technologies as well as dedicate resources and time to raising money and awareness for social causes.   

Our technological advancements have allowed us to create some of the longest lasting lamps on the market such as UV germicidal lamps, tanning lamps and TriLight Max lighting lamps. These long-lasting lamps reduce the number of replacement lamps required as well as reduce the number of old lamps to recycle.  Additionally our products are extremely efficient, which mean less energy usage, less maintenance and less replacement costs. 

At our glass factory in Hungary, we meet the environmental control requirements of EN ISO 14001:1996.  Also by operating our own recycling equipment, we are compliant with RoHS and the WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive.  Recycled materials include: lamps (except incandescent and halogen light bulbs), luminaries (except household) and equipment for controlling and/or spreading light.  Any materials we cannot recycle are sent to Electro Coord where they are recycled.  Furthermore, all of our employees are trained in environmental issues and best practice in regards to the industry. 

As to our social programs, the LightSources group participates in several local and national charities.  In North America, we support the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Susan G. Koman for the Cure, and the American Cancer Society.  In Europe, we support the international social development organization, SOS Kinderdorf Support (SOS Children’s Villages International).

    

LightSources and our affiliated companies represent the leading high-tech designers and manufacturers in the lamp industry today.  Our products are used world-wide in a multitude of applications and industries such as our UV germicidal lamps that offer patent-protected, OEM-oriented solutions.  The LightSources team consists of the most highly skilled professionals that specialize in a range of innovative solutions.
