Medieval Hotel

SOLON, Ohio, Nov. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Energy Focus, Inc. (Nasdaq: EFOI), the global leader in energy-efficient lighting technologies, today announced that the world-famous Hotel Eisenhut in Rothenburg, Germany, has installed Energy Focus's flagship EFO(R) lighting systems throughout its newly expanded and refurbished conference facilities.

Zone lighting in each room includes the ability to change level as well as the color of the light. This enables users to adjust brightness and smooth color accents appropriate to a particular type of event. For example, during a speaker's video presentation, general illumination white light can be reduced while the wall accents and speaker's podium are switched to blue. Alternatively, for wedding receptions or other festive occasions, the color controlled lighting can be used to create emotional atmosphere and dramatic highlights. And for occasions in which colored light is not required, the full room can be illuminated in a comfortable, warm white light at the push of a button.

"With EFO(R), we were able to offer the most modern and energy efficient lighting technology available while respecting the historical character and significance of the Hotel Eisenhut," said Bernhard Mann, Managing Director, LBM Lichtleit-Fasertechnik (LBM), the German subsidiary of Energy Focus Inc.

Located in the center of picturesque medieval Rothenburg overlooking the Tauber Valley, the Hotel Eisenhut consists of four patrician houses from the 12th and 16th centuries, furnished with select antiques and original artwork. The homes were united into the Hotel Eisenhut in 1876 as a guesthouse for visitors to Rothenburg's vineyards and wineries. Today, the hotel is considered one of the world's great hotels and continues to be run by Hans J. Pirner, great-grand-son of the founder Georg Andreas Eisenhut.

The Hotel Eisenhut lighting project was designed by Bernard Mann of LBM Lichtleit-Fasertechnik (LBM), the German subsidiary of Energy Focus Inc. LBM also supplied the materials and supervised the installation. The architect for the project was Kunzendorf, Postbauer Heng, Germany.
