WESTEK^® MAKES INDUSTRY GREEN WITH ENVY

New Energy-Saving Light Control Works With Compact Fluorescent Bulbs

SADDLE RIVER, NJ, May 1, 2008—Westek’s new “green” SLC6 Compact Fluorescent Light Control saves energy by automatically turning lights on at dusk and off at a user-programmed time. Unlike most controls on the market, it accommodates all compact fluorescent bulbs as readily as it does conventional incandescent bulbs. With the SLC6, consumers save even more money and energy than they do when using compact fluorescent bulbs alone.

The energy-saving, cost-cutting SLC6 light control features a digitally programmable circuit that lets users choose when lights shut off—after two hours, five hours, eights hours, or at dawn. They are ideal during vacations, because homeowners can also opt for random “off times,” thus breaking any pattern that might be discernible to thieves.

Westek’s energy-conscious SLC6 is simple to install. Just screw it in and you’re done! No wiring or electricians are necessary. The control comes complete with a spring-loaded contact that lets users orient the sensor to avoid false “ons” caused by streetlights and automobile headlights.

“When used with a compact fluorescent bulb, these controls save consumers an average of $49 per fixture per year,” says Mike Stack, Product Marketing Manager at AmerTac. “They work with compact fluorescents or incandescents. Better yet, users can tell them when to work and how to work.”

In addition to the SLC6, Westek offers a full line of green screw-in, plug-in and wire-in light controls that work with compact fluorescent bulbs. They all save money, conserve energy and deter intruders—thereby providing homeowners with convenience, safety and peace of mind.

Westek’s SLC6 light control retails for $8.99 to $11.99 and can be found at Home Depot and local hardware stores nationwide. They can also be purchased under the AmerTac brand at Lowe’s. For details, visit www.amertac.com, www.lowes.com or www.homedepot.com.
