LAS  VEGAS, Nevada, USA (Oct. 31, 2007) - Providing a safer and better-lit vehicle entry point was the aim when Grote Industries introduced the new Step Well LED WhiteLight lamp. The latest in LED lighting and designed in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Step Well lamp vastly improves visibility in floor lighting for buses and other vehicle step well applications.

"Bringing Grote's market leading LED WhiteLight technology to the interior of the bus provides a brighter, whiter lighting while maintaining low power usage and low heat output," said Dominic Grote, vice president of sales and marketing for Grote Industries. "This not only improves the safety of passengers and employees, but also translates into a savings of thousands of dollars on lighting over the life of a fleet."

The Grote LED WhiteLight technology is not only more energy efficient and longer lasting, it's the brightest LED option on the market. The new Step Well Lamp is also specifically designed for bus electronics and is easily integrated into existing platforms.

Grote has been able to drive more and better quality light out of its LED lamps, while offering greater reliability. The company found a way to dissipate the destructive, internal thermal heat buildup that can shorten the life of an LED. Grote's substantial operating temperature advantage also alleviates the possibility of injury when coming in contact with the lamp.

Designed, engineered and manufactured for maximum value, the Step Well LED Lamp outperforms incandescent competitors on every level. With its specially formulated, thermal and moisture resistant potting cushioning, its unique angled circuitry, all enclosed in a durable stainless steel bezel with a polycarbonate lens, the Step Well Lamp is as tough as it is attractive.
