July 29, 2004 -- SEATTLE, Wash., (USA) -- (Jobwerx News) -- LEXAN SLX resin is a superior fit for many lighting applications requiring the use of polycarbonate materials. Because of its extreme resistance to harsh environmental conditions, iGuzzini illuminazione, selected GE Advanced Materials' LEXAN® SLX resin for its GEM suspended luminaries.

iGuzzini, Italian architectural lighting manufacturer, identified several needs key to the success of a new lighting system: the luminaries need superior resistance to extreme weather conditions, the ability to withstand the yellowing typical of lighting applications, to increase the product lifetime and reduce maintenance costs. Meeting these needs would allow iGuzzini to maintain the rigorously high standards necessary to meet its motto: Better Light for Better Life.

"GE Advanced Materials had the type and quality of material we needed to meet our customer's needs," said iGuzzini illuminazione Research Center Director, Piergiovanni Ceregioli. "This particular location required luminaries with long life and low maintenance. Working with GE Advanced Materials allowed us to find the material that would best fit our needs and those of our customer."

iGuzzini illuminazione, a leader in technical lighting, provides stylish lighting solutions to some of Europe's most visible locations. iGuzzini provides functional lighting solutions with highly stylish looks.

In the early nineties, iGuzzini was the very first lighting manufacturer to raise public awareness as to the problem of light pollution, and to put a range of luminaires on the market with special optics designed to minimise this form of pollution. www.iguzzini.com/index_it.html
