Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ:EFOI), the global leader in energy-efficient lighting technologies, announced today that the famed Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach has extensively installed Energy Focus lighting systems as part of the hotel's $1 billion renovation and expansion.
"The Fontainebleau Hotel is a landmark in Miami Beach, and we are proud to be part of its renovation," said Joe Kaveski, CEO of Energy Focus, Inc. "While we often stress the great energy efficiency of our products, they also create beautiful lighting effects, especially in pool and spa applications. Fontainebleau guests can expect to see some spectacular lighting, while the hotel can expect to see lower energy costs."
Emerging from the original vision of legendary architect Morris Lapidus, Fontainebleau combines striking design, contemporary art, music, fashion and technology. The renovated hotel is a blend of Miami's glamorous golden era and stylish modern luxury, with 1,504 rooms and suites, 22 oceanfront acres, 11 restaurants and nightclubs including three signature name chef restaurants, a 40,000-square-foot spa, and a sophisticated poolscape with private cabanas.
Energy Focus's unique, and energy efficient, lighting systems are a key part of the hotel's renovation and revitalization. Utilizing its Fiberstars EFO(R) lighting technologies to create beautiful and dramatic effects, Energy Focus installed over 8,000 star point lights, illuminated five swimming pools, two spas and two fountains.
Perhaps most spectacularly, Energy Focus illuminated the exterior of the hotel's spa, using more than 200 feet of LED Light Bars to create a brilliant effect, and created a one-of-a-kind LED-illumination for a water sculpture at the renowned Gotham Steak, the hotel's signature steakhouse by Michelin-star chef Alfred Portale, Chef owner at New York's Gotham Bar and Grill.
