ATG Stores Launches Eco Lighting Website

ATG Stores, a leading online retailer of home design and remodel fixtures, announces the launch of a website dedicated entirely to green lighting for the home, EcoLightingUniverse.com.

Kirkland, WA, May 04, 2008 --(PR.com)-- ATG Stores, the parent company of 5 major e-commerce sites, 15 niche sites, and 12 showrooms located throughout Washington State, is proud to announce the launch of a new specialized site dedicated entirely to green lighting for the home, EcoLightingUniverse.com.

The concept behind EcoLightingUniverse.com is to offer environmentally-conscious consumers, builders, and designers a more efficient shopping experience by providing a full catalog of products specific to reducing the ecological impact of residential lighting. The site offers a complete selection of ENERGY STAR® certified lighting products, as well as fluorescent bulbs and fixtures, LED technology, Dark Sky compliant outdoor lighting, Dimmer systems, and Solar lighting.

Along with offering the largest selection of earth-friendly lighting fixtures on the web, ATG also aims to help educate its customers by offering research and information about sustainable energy, and the environmental costs associated. Customers have the opportunity to learn about the products they are shopping for, and gain essential knowledge about the ways these products can help reduce their home’s carbon footprint.

But what makes Eco lighting so important? Gary Rubens, ATG Stores President explains, “If every household in America replaced the five light fixtures that are most frequently used with ENERGY STAR® approved lighting or equivalent compact fluorescent bulbs, energy costs would be cut by nearly $8 billion per year, and the greenhouse gas emissions prevented would be equivalent to that of 10 million cars.” This equates to an individual household responsibility for preventing the release of over 5,000lbs of harmful CO2, and a savings of nearly $300 in energy costs over the lifetime of the bulbs. Who knew that something as simple as changing a light bulb can add up to such a big difference?

ATG hopes that providing a site dedicated to ecologically conscious lighting will encourage consumers to make green decisions when designing and remodeling their homes. Ultimately, ATG aims to promote awareness for environmental and energy conservation, by becoming the source for energy efficient lighting and information on the web.
