MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Ballast Inc. (OTCBB: GBLL) announced today that Healthcare Trust of America, Inc., a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) with over 12.5 million square feet of leasable space, has completed a lighting retrofit equipped with Green Ballast's patented daylight harvesting fluorescent light ballasts for a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical tenant in Lenox Office Park, a premier seven building 72 acre office park in Memphis, Tennessee.

GBLL's ballast is a direct replacement for the existing "standard ballast" and adjusts power consumption for each lighting fixture, while measuring and harvesting available daylight to calculate and provide only the amount of needed electricity for proper lighting.  It is a "plug and play" solution and has controls within each ballast, providing simple and efficient installation and ongoing maintenance.

"Office buildings are a primary market for our company for a fundamental reason. Significantly lowering a major operating cost is a major benefit for owners, operators and tenants alike. Healthcare Trust of America will reduce electrical lighting consumption costs by over 50%, enabling them to work with their tenant on longer-term leases," said J. Kevin Adams, chief executive officer of Green Ballast.
