    Holophane Lighting
  • Cut your energy, installation and maintenance costs in half!

    It no longer takes 4 luminaires to illuminate a 14’ x 48’ outdoor advertising bulletin board. With rising energy costs and stricter lighting ordinances, there was a need for the development of a more efficient sign lighting system.

    Holophane, the innovator in outdoor advertising lighting, has developed an industry first with the introduction of the AdVue luminaire with patented AdMasterTM optics. The AdVue system only requires two 400W luminaires to illuminate a standard 14’ x 48’ bulletin board.
