Sea Gull Lighting Gifts Eco-Friendly Celebrities with ENERGY STAR Qualified Lighting for Earth Day

Riverside, NJ (April 22, 2008)  Honored by the US Environmental Protection Agency as an ENERGY STAR Partner of Sustained Excellence for its efforts in manufacturing and promoting ENERGY STAR qualified lighting, Sea Gull Lighting added some star power in its efforts to make every day Earth Day!

As part of an eco-friendly celebrity “gift bag”, Sea Gull Lighting’s ENERGY STAR qualified Metropolis wall sconce was delivered today to 25 of Hollywood’s best “earth friendly” stars commemorating Earth Day.

“ENERGY STAR qualified lighting represents how important it is that we regard every day as Earth Day,” says Jody De Vine, Director of Brand & Channel Marketing for Sea Gull Lighting.  “Our homes,” continues De Vine, “are responsible for more air pollution than the average car – we can make a big difference just by changing the little things.”

At the forefront of making a change for the better, are celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jake Gyllenhaal, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ellen DeGeneres, Drew Barrymore and others.  Sea Gull Lighting’s ENERGY STAR wall sconce from the Metropolis collection was delivered to these and other celebrities to highlight “just how beautiful energy efficiency can be.”  

The benefits of changing your lighting to ENERGY STAR qualified lighting include:
• Use up to 75 percent less energy than traditional lighting products without sacrificing quality,
• Generate 78 percent less heat than standard incandescent lighting, which can translate into cooler rooms during summer months and additional savings on utility costs for air conditioning
• Use bulbs that last at least 10,000 hours compared to typical incandescent bulbs that last about 750 - 1000hours.  Thus, ENERGY STAR qualified fixtures used for an average of three hours per day will not require bulb changes for at least eight years substantially reducing the nuisance of buying, stocking and changing new bulbs.
• Come with a two-year manufacturer’s warranty
• Reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions
