Acuity Brands, Inc. recently announced it has acquired WhiteOptics, LLC, a New Castle, DE-based manufacturer of advanced optical components used to reflect, diffuse, and control light for LED lighting used in commercial and institutional applications.
WhiteOptics’ product portfolio includes light guide plates, optical diffusers, and innovative micro-structure lenses that provide a unique three-dimensional appearance. The company’s transmissive products include optics that improve the quality of light to support a favorable Unified Glare Rating (UGR) and superior luminaire efficiency and energy savings. The convergence of these benefits is in sync with market trends toward lower-glare LED solutions that also meet stringent energy requirements.
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
