Wisconsin company unveils new lighting technology

A Wisconsin manufacturer has debuted new fusion technology in solar LED light fixtures that can be used in commercial and industrial applications. Energybank officials say that while the new technology looks like a typical light fixture, it doesn't convert the power so lights last longer and are more cost-effective, WLUK-TV reported . The Manitowoc-based company has been working on the technology for years. "There really are no regular solar LED," said founder Neal Verfuerth. "Everything on the market today has a battery and a lot of apparatus to make a grid connected, where this doesn't have that."
