Think twice before buying the cheapest fixtures you see. They may come at an unexpected price, ending up costing as much as three times the initial investment versus spending money on high quality LED fixtures.
Conventional light sources are expensive to operate while cheap LEDs will not sustain the advertised efficacy, life and light output you expect, forcing you to buy again after a short period of time.
Flex Lighting Solutions
Attract Customer AttentionOur superior light quality enables exhibitors to display their products more attractively, drawing customers’ attention and enabling them to better examine details, textures and colors.
Improve Venue AppearanceCompared to the dull, tinted and unnatural light from inferior light sources, our LED fixtures provide bright illumination with a natural and cleaner appearance, making the venue look more attractive and creating a more enjoyable event.
Superior Lighting Design Equipped with high quality optics and unique features, our LED fixtures deliver the light where is needed and provide superior uniformity ratios, minimizing bright spots or shadows.
Quality of Light Makes the Difference
Lighting plays a crucial role in the customer experience and purchasing decision. Poor lighting makes products look less attractive and can confuse customers when colors do not match their expectations, resulting in lost sales and reduced customer retention.
The “Wow” FactorVisitors may not know about what kind of lighting is installed, but they notice the difference. Good lighting creates a positive overall impression about the brand and venue and can influence purchasing behavior.
Eye-Catching ColorsThe Color Rendering Index (CRI) tells from 0 to 100 how well the venue and exhibited products will look under the light. A fixture with a CRI score of 80+ will make colors pop and textures stand out, making everything look natural, more attractive, and help customers appreciate details better.
When the highest color accuracy is needed, for instance in art galleries, CRI 90+ is recommended. Our LED fixtures are available in CRI 80+ as standard and CRI 95+ as an option.
The importance of a well-lit venue is not just for the looks, it also increases safety for visitors and employees.
Flex Lighting Solutions
Lighting On DemandConvention centers are often used as multipurpose venues, hosting diverse events with different lighting requirements. Even in the same event, certain booths and areas may require brighter or lower light levels. Our LED fixtures provide maximum flexibility to control the lighting for each event or exhibitor request.
Occupancy Sensors and Daylight HarvestingWhen our LED fixtures with integrated standalone controls detect activity, light levels go up instantly providing the optimal illumination. After a period of inactivity, lights can be set to turn off or dim to a pre-defined level, achieving increased energy savings and improving safety. Based on the light coming from windows and other light sources, the daylight feature of the sensors optimize light output, meeting the lighting requirements of each area while maximizing energy savings and uniformity.
Flexible and Responsive Illumination
Some areas or aisles are not as busy as others. Lighting control systems ensure an optimal illumination at all times in each area, increasing energy savings and safety.

Company: MGM International ResortsPartner: UBMLocation: Las Vegas, NV
Building: Convention Center, 1M sq ft
Project: MGM International and UBM, one of the world’s largest event organizers, joined forces in a strategic partnership to improve the lighting of the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, while reducing the enviromental footprint and energy usage to meet their sustainability goals.
Challenge: Chris Magee, VP of sustainable facilities at MGM was searching for an LED lighting solution that would offer increased light levels, higher quality of light, and a customized lighting control capability to replace their 1,000+ high output T5 linear fixtures.
Solution: In order to increase light levels by 300%, Mandalay Bay installed 1,600 Essentials Series LED high bays featuring integrated wireless controls that allowed them the highest flexibility, meeting their energy savings and sustainability requirements.
Results: The new lighting system is estimated to reduce energy consumption by 85%, saving enough energy to power 400 average US homes and prevent 900 Metric Tons of greenhouse gases (CO2E) each year. Within the next 10 years there will no longer be a need to replace 26,898 fluorescent lamps, boxed them a second time and then transported to other states for recycling.
This higher quality lighting system will help Mandalay Bay Convention Center – and MGM Resorts International – achieve significant energy savings. UBM is a valued partner and is as committed as we are to the environment.”

Mandalay Bay Convention Center Chooses Flex for Lighting Upgrade
Flex Lighting Solutions
Company: Minneapolis Convention CenterPartner: JTH Lighting AllianceLocation: Minneapolis, MNBuilding: Convention Center
Project: The Minneapolis Convention Center (MCC) was looking to upgrade the lighting in its exhibition area from traditional lighting sources to LED to meet their energy savings goals and provide better light.
Challenge: The previous lighting system in the MCC’s Exhibition Hall A, the first area of the MCC to be upgraded, included 418 metal halide fixtures operating an average of 4,380 hours per year and 622 halogen incandescent fixtures operating an average of 800 hours per year resulted in more than 1,080,000 kWh of energy consumed. At an average utility cost of $0.09/kWh, MCC was spending approximately $97,000 per year to illuminate this exhibition area, not to mention the higher costs of maintenance and cooling costs commonly associated with metal halide and halogen light fixtures.
Solution: After studing various manufacturers MCC chosed Flex Lighting Solutions to team up, with the Essentials Series 6M fixtures of 35,000 lumen output. The installation included lighting controls at the individual fixture level allowing selective programming of lighting areas only when and where needed in the large spaces.
Minneapolis Convention Center Saves 72% Energy with Essentials Series LED High Bays
It was really a night and day difference between the illumination level, but also the way the space felt. To see it re-lit and done so well, and providing a new atmosphere was kind of the part that really I enjoyed and really take pride in.”

Company: Qatar National FoundationPartner: Burns & McDonellLocation: Doha, QatarBuilding: Convention Center
Project: Extension of the Qatar National Exhibition Center, that would add 2.5M additional square feet. Under the general direction of the Qatar National Foundation (the primary investment vehicle of the Al Thani royal family) and specific wishes of Her Highness Sheikha Mo-zah bin Nasser Al-Missned,the extension had to be built in a manner that would achieve an LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Gold rating — something that had never been accomplished by a convention center.
Challenge: Burns & McDonnell challenged Flex to develop a solid-state lighting solution that could be mounted at 12 m (40 ft), withstand a constant ceiling temperature of 46°C (115°F) and deliver at least 50 footcandles with the efficacy required to meet LEED Gold requirements.
Solution: Flex Lighting Solutions exceeded all of the requirements with 60 fc at 92 watts and was listed as the specified LED fixture for a total quantity of 4,750.
