--Plan to Implement at All Ten Locations--
Jun. 17, 2010 (Business Wire) -- In its ongoing effort to reduce energy costs and carbon footprint, Maxwell’s Restaurants Ltd. has chosen Nexxus Lighting (Nasdaq: NEXS) and its Array™ Lighting brand of LED replacement light bulbs to illuminate all public areas across all ten restaurants that, in addition to Maxwell’s, includes Sticky Fingers, Cafe de Paris, Palm Court Brasserie, The Roadhouse, Cactus Blue, PJ`s Bar and Grill ,Boulevard and the Navajo Joes brands. Maxwell's, in London's prestigious Covent Garden location, is the first of the locations to make the switch from 50 watt halogens lamps to Array™ Lighting LED R30 lamps.
"After careful consideration of many other LED lighting brands, we chose the Array lamp because of superior colour rendering and superb warranties as well as the opportunity to reduce replacement maintenance and energy costs," said Salvo Alfano, Maxwell’s Group Project Manager. “We plan to use Array throughout our entire chain."
Atmospheric Zone, the UK sales representative and distributor of Nexxus Lighting products, including Array, helped Maxwell's determine the best lighting solution.
“Our Array™ Lighting brand has set a new industry standard that all other LED lamps are now being compared to in terms of efficacy, thermal management, weight and design,” said Mike Bauer, president and CEO of Nexxus Lighting. “We applaud Maxwell’s for its bold, green decision to invest in lighting technology to reduce their energy and maintenance costs.”
Founded in London in 1972 with the original Maxwell’s location in Hampstead, today Maxwell’s Restaurant Group includes 10 locations under nine brands including Maxwell’s Bar and Grill, Sticky Fingers, Cafe de Paris, Palm Court Brasserie, The Roadhouse, Cactus Blue, PJ`s Bar and Grill ,Boulevard Brasserie and Navajo Joes.
