A critical letter about the use of chemical pesticides on its lawns in 2008 led to a series of steps and decisions at Farnsworth Art Museum that culminated with a resolution to become a leader in environmentally sustainable practices. Converting the entire museum from halogen to LED light bulbs was a major part of that decision.

High Tech Lights LLC. has been awarded ENERGY STAR® partnership for its Environmentally Friendly Lighting (EFL) line LED light bulbs. The product line, including the T8, T5 and AR111 downlights, has demonstrated LED lifetime and fixture efficacy that qualifies for the stringent commercial rating, as well as the residential rating.
