The American Electric and Dark-To-Light product lines, with annual revenues of approximately $80 million, include outdoor lighting products (luminaires and electronic photocontrols) sold principally to the commercial, industrial, utility, governmental, and institutional markets. The sale is an asset sale and includes two manufacturing facilities: Bainbridge, Ga., and Monterrey, Mexico. After the acquisition is completed, these product lines will become an operating unit of NSI's Lithonia Lighting Group.
