EATON’S LED- CENTRIC LIGHTING UNIT WILL BECOME INDEPENDENT COMPANY EATON has announced its intention to spin out its LED-centric lighting business into an independent publicly-traded entity by the end of 2019. The com- pany made the announcement at its annual inves- tor’s conference. Eaton is a broad power-manage- ment company with 2018 sales of $21.6B (billion), and the Eaton Lighting Division (formerly Cooper Lighting) had seemed a symbiotic part of the larger power-management conglomerate. But the spin-off will follow the recent trend of solid-state lighting (SSL) businesses separating from a parent, including Current, powered by GE and Signify (formerly Philips Lighting).
