by Brianna Crandall — November 26, 2014—MaxLite, a manufacturer and marketer of energy-efficient lighting nationwide, recently announced its new Architectural LED Torchiere as the first product of its kind to be named to the ENERGY STAR qualified products list.
Packaged with MaxLite’s award-winning ENERGY STAR-rated A19 LED Omnidirectional Lamp (12W), the GU24-socketed torchiere offers a long light-emitting diode (LED) life and architectural-grade construction in one reasonably priced box, says the company. Available in black or white finish, the torchiere is designed to diffuse a warm, inviting light while remaining cool to the touch, making it suitable floor lighting for a variety of spaces.
The fixture is dimmable from a pole-mounted rotary switch and meets California’s Title 20 requirements for appliance energy efficiency.
“We are pleased to add the Architectural LED Torchiere to our growing list of ENERGY STAR-qualified indoor lighting solutions,” said Vice President of Product Marketing Pat Treadway. “MaxLite is the only manufacturer to offer this first-of-its-kind combination of award-winning, long LED life; ENERGY STAR rating; and premium construction in one value-priced package.”
Constructed with a residential-grade center pole intended for use in dorm rooms and residential spaces, the torchiere measures 69 inches high, with a base diameter of 10.5 inches. The fixture’s translucent white polymer diffuser, which conceals the LEDs from view, has a diameter of 14 inches. The torchiere operates on standard 120 volt and may be re-lamped with GU24 LEDs up to 23 watts. The fixture has a lifetime of 25,000 hours at L70 standards and a three-year limited warranty.
