Detroit Landmark Cobo Center Selects EverLast® Induction Lighting for Upgrade Project

Lighting is a significant operating expense for the Cobo Convention Center. Currently exhibition areas are being illuminated by
more than 3,000 inefficient 400w metal halide high bays, with annual energy and maintenance costs pushing $460,000.
Reducing this cost burden was a focal point for Cobo engineers. After accepting numerous bids for nearly a year, Jackson,
Michigan based manufacturer, EverLast® Lighting was selected to fill the center's request for energy-efficient lighting.

"Cobo selected induction fixtures for several reasons," stated Brandon Marken, EverLast® Lighting's Director of Commercial
Sales. "They were impressed with the overall performance of the sample fixtures, as well as the quality of light compared to
competing LED fixtures they had seen. In addition to being pleased with the light, Cobo engineers were attracted by the
difference in cost between induction and LED fixtures. Selecting induction ultimately meant a faster return on investment."
