Rochester, NY-based OLEDWorks LLC is contributing Organic Light Emitting Diode lighting installations in select Wegmans stores and worksites.
“We are excited to partner with a local company to bring new technology, first developed by Kodak engineers and Acuity Brands, to our customers and employees,” said Paul Stuart, Wegmans’ senior merchant construction/maintenance. “This will give us the opportunity to test better-quality lighting that has the added benefit of not emitting heat.”
“Wegmans just reached into their backyard to design a lighting experience that once again sets them apart,” added David DeJoy, chairman of OLEDWorks’ board. “OLED was invented in Wegmans’ hometown of Rochester, NY. Wegmans recognized their unique position to explore OLED lighting, once again demonstrating leadership in the many touch points with customers and staff.”
OLEDWorks produces OLED light engines that are integrated into light fixtures by traditional luminaire manufacturers. For the Wegmans project, the Olessence OLED lighting fixtures in the vestibules of Pittsford and Henrietta stores are manufactured in the U.S. by Acuity Brands Lighting.
Wegmans has also remodeled select areas at its Rochester headquarters with a focus on employee meeting and dining areas. Architectural fixtures for these spaces include the Petal and Limit from Milwaukee-based Visa Lighting and the Trilia from Acuity Brands Lighting.
