"Affordable fluorescent dimming" unveiled by CSL Lighting; existing and future product lines to feature long-suppressed Luminoptics technology.LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 15, 1995--The world's first "affordable fluorescent dimming" technology was unveiled in Long Beach Tuesday by CSL (Computerese as a Second Language) Said of people who love to speak high-tech words even though they often use them erroneously. See TLA. 1. CSL - Computer Structure Language. A computer hardware description language, written in BCPL. Lighting Manufacturing of Valencia, Calif., (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :CSLX) during Southern California Southern California, also colloquially known as SoCal, is the southern portion of the U.S. state of California. Centered on the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego, Southern California is home to nearly 24 million people and is the nation's second most populated region, Edison's "Energy Show '95." The energy-efficient Luminoptics lighting system has been called "the best technology for controlling fluorescent lamps" by energy expert Amory Lovins Amory Bloch Lovins (born November 13 1947 in Washington, DC) is a energy activist and "consultant experimental physicist." He is Chairman and Chief Scientist of the Rocky Mountain Institute, a MacArthur Fellowship recipient (1993), and author and co-author of books on . The unique patented ballast technology, developed by C.R. Stevens and William Alling in the mid-1970s, was sold to another firm in 1981, but never actively marketed. Alling and Stevens recently won a $96 million jury verdict claiming their technology had been illegally suppressed the past 14 years. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Lovins, had the Luminoptics design -- which includes dimming and "light harvesting" -- been actively marketed, "it could have changed the evolution of efficient lighting." "This technology brings affordable fluorescent dimming to commercial and residential applications," said CSL Senior Vice President and Director of Marketing Gil Sperry. "At present, we plan to incorporate the Luminoptics dimming ballasts into our existing products; for the future, we are keeping our options open as to the introduction of other product lines using this technology. In the meantime Adv. 1. in the meantime - during the intervening time; "meanwhile I will not think about the problem"; "meantime he was attentive to his other interests"; "in the meantime the police were notified" meantime, meanwhile , we will immediately begin aggressively pursuing licensees in other parts of the world," Sperry added. "When you combine the energy efficiency of fluorescent lighting with our dimmable technology -- realizing that lighting consumes about 25 percent of all electricity generated in the United States -- the savings potential is enormous," Alling said. "With CSL's help, we plan to continue developing our ballast technology," Alling continued, "including other innovations to be announced To be announced (TBA) A contract for the purchase or sale of an MBS to be delivered at an agreed-upon future date but does not include a specified pool number and number of pools or precise amount to be delivered. at later dates." CSL designs, manufactures and markets high-end lighting fixtures for both commercial and residential applications, including the energy-efficient lighting market with its Alta Illumination division.
