EverLast® Introduces the Only Type III Induction Cobra Head Fixture
First installment in the EverLast® Smart Light Series locally manufactured in former car country

 Manufactured in Jackson, Michigan U.S.A.

Michigan has entered a depressed economic state due to the failing automobile industry. With $76.6 million being allocated to energy and conservation, the state is looking to "greenenergy industries that will create jobs" and pull the state out of the economic crisis.* Leading the way in energy efficient lighting is Michigan based EverLast® Induction Lighting, manufacturer of Smart Light Induction Fixtures. EverLast® Smart Light Fixtures incorporate step-dimming and on/off sensor controls for increased pedestrian safety and unmatched energy savings.

EverLast® Smart Light Series will soon be manufactured in Jackson, Michigan USA. Starting in July, the EverLast® Cobra Head Fixtures will begin rolling off the assembly line to complete orders already placed by municipalities, universities and federal agencies that are moving towards energy efficiency. The EverLast® Smart Light Cobra Head will be the first of four new Michigan Made induction fixtures. Short to follow will be a Type III Acorn Walkway Fixture, IP65 Rated Shoe Box Fixture and Step-Dimming Garage Fixture.

Ideal for freeway, roadway, secondary roads, off street areas and parking lots, the Type III Cobra Head offers better light distribution than a standard Type I or II street light. A wider light distribution is achieved in the Type III Cobra Fixture by producing side-to-side lighting as opposed to front only lighting. Additionally, the fixture produces two times more illumination than LEDs. As a result of bringing the manufacturing state side EverLast® Lighting was able to redevelop the design, distribution and illumination, inturn requiring fewer EverLast® Type III Cobra Head fixtures are needed to illuminate the roadway, which saves on up-front costs.

"We are extremely happy to bring manufacturing back to Michigan along with constructing our new LEED certified factory and headquarters here in Jackson MI," says Mike Nevins, Founder of Full Spectrum Solutions, parent company of EverLast® Induction Lighting. "We have invested millions of dollars in our new facility and product line and look forward to putting Michigan back on the map as a manufacturing state. As our product demand increases, so will our ability to train unemployed Michigan workers in a green-energy industry."

With an unmatched 100,000-hour-rated bulb life and 50-70 percent energy savings over other technologies, the Type III Induction Cobra Head Roadway Fixture offers the lowest lifetime cost of any light source and the fastest ROI. As opposed to heavy metal street light fixtures that will rust or corrode, the new earth-friendly EverLast® Cobra Head body is constructed of lightweight, durable polycarbonate and is composed of 70 percent recycled content, making it the perfect solution for geographic areas that have a high concentration of salt or moisture in the air. With a heavy duty cast aluminum interior mounting system, the hybrid Cobra Head design provides increased durability for harsh environments.
