This recognition provides the highest lighting industry validation of EvoLucia's patent pending Aimed Optics™ technology. The SCHX5 outperformed its competition with an industry-high Fitted Target Efficacy (FTE) score of 57 putting the most footcandles on the ground, in the pattern required, with the best uniformity, using the fewest LEDs and the least power consumed. The FTE was developed by the Department of Energy for evaluating ENERGY STAR® outdoor roadway luminaire light performance.

The DOE, IALD and IES thoroughly evaluated five of EvoLucia's Aimed Optics ™ LED Cobra Head units.  Their evaluation focused on the lowest glare, highest efficiency, best thermal management, highest uniformity and most efficient optics.  After their intense evaluation, the EvoLucia SCHX5 was praised by the judges for its glare control, uniformity and efficacy. EvoLucia's SCHX5 LED was the only outdoor roadway/ parking luminaire in that category recognized with an award. In addition, the SCHX5 LED was selected to be a product that the judging panel would recommend to lighting specifiers.

Bob Fugerer, Chief Technology Officer of Sunovia, stated, "The entire team at EvoLucia applauds the DOE, IALD and IES for advancing the awareness and market-acceptance of innovative LED lighting technologies that are worthy of specification by lighting designers. There is no question that LEDs are setting new standards for general illumination lighting.  We are delighted that the distinguished judging panel has recognized the pace-setting efficiencies in energy and light utilization that our Aimed Optics™ technology has made possible in next generation LED roadway and parking area luminaire design."

EvoLucia Aimed LED Lighting™ is not only more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than many other light sources; it is also much more effective. Sunovia's proprietary optical light patterns allow for a 20 percent more efficient light while using 10 percent less energy than its LED competitors. Through EvoLucia's patent pending Aimed Optics™ technology, 10 percent less overall light is needed when the light is correctly focused on the target area, which allows for more efficient lighting solutions.
