(Miami,
Florida) June 1, 2013—
Dona
Flor U.S.A.

is excited to announce their “Going
Green”
Initiative
in all US warehouses and offices. Going
Green

is a project that promotes the idea that every person and every
company around the world has a responsibility to incorporate
environmental friendly habits into their daily routines,” says
Chris Edge, President of Dona
Flor USA. “Going Green

represents many different avenues of environmental controls, from
energy consumption to recycling, it all has an impact and every
little bit helps.
“When
currently traveling around the country visiting neighborhood
humidors, I was shown a box of cigars that had faded and yellowed due
to the UV emissions of fluorescent lighting in the humidor. When I
saw the impact not only on the tobacco itself, but also the
cellophane wrapper had yellowed and the beautiful band colors faded,
it really hit home, or should I say the light came on. Not only was
the quality of the tobacco being effected but the packaging,
marketing and sales potential for the retailer was affected. We began
a thorough investigation into solutions available in the US market.
What we found was a breakthrough type of LED tube lamp from Titan
LED

which could replace the old fluorescent tubes.”
LED
lighting is not only safer for everyone and, it emits no harmful UV
rays, emits far less heat than fluorescent or incandescent lighting
and the energy consumption is upwards of 80 to 90 percent lower than
traditional lighting. These qualities make the LED lamps a far better
choice for use in wherever premium cigars are being stored. With a
life span in excess of 50,000 hours and a warranty to back it up, it
became a no-brainer. We have installed LED lighting in all our
facilities including our tradeshow booth, allowing us to display more
light with less heat while using less energy – the LED lighting has
been a perfect fit for our Going
Green

initiative.
Titan
LED

is a US manufacturer of quality LED lighting located in Moorpark,
California that has been chosen as the official vendor for Dona Flor
USA. With so many poor quality knockoffs being sold in the market
from manufacturers overseas, it was important to us to buy
American made products

to insure that we had the best pricing, warranty and customer
service available. Titan
LED

fit in all areas.
Dona
