January 6, 2009 - PureSpectrum, Inc. finalizes manufacturing contract with Litetronics International, Inc.

January 6th, 2009

SAVANNAH, GA – PureSpectrum, Inc. (Pink Sheets: PSPM) has finalized a manufacturing contract with lighting industry leader Litetronics International, Inc. that will enable the emerging lighting technology company to launch its own proprietary brand of Compact Fluorescent Lamps in 2009.

 

With more than 30 years of success worldwide and factories in China, Litetronics is globally recognized as a pioneer in the energy efficient lighting market. Litetronics will produce PureSpectrum CFL bulbs to be distributed in the United States, Canada and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates beginning in the first quarter of 2009. 

 

PureSpectrum president and CEO Lee Vanatta said the relationship between the two companies is an ideal synergy combining PureSpectrum’s superior ballast circuitry and Litetronics’ proven lamp design. The result will be a cost effective, high performance dimmable CFL with performance properties that will appeal to consumers.

 

Vanatta said an initial order was processed in conjunction with the execution of the contract and a portion of the first shipment will be used to obtain approvals from standard setting agencies such as Underwriter’s Laboratory and the Federal Communications Commission which are required for lighting products to be distributed in North American Free Trade Agreement countries. PureSpectrum’s prototype bulbs have met or exceeded required performance measures in all critical categories, and Vanatta said product will be available in NAFTA countries in 2009.

 

Both PureSpectrum and Litetronics share a market-driven approach to the creation of new lighting technologies and products which are both energy efficient and consumer friendly. Litetronics has earned a reputation as a progressive developer of energy efficient products by capitalizing on emerging technologies to create products with high rates of consumer acceptance. PureSpectrum has generated a high level of interest and response within the lighting community through its unique approach to developing electronics and energy efficient lighting products.  

 

Independent testing has proven that PureSpectrum’s technology provides a decided performance advantage over any brand name dimmable CFL on the market by enabling linear regressive dimming from 100% to 10% of perceived light output. In addition to more reliable dimming capability, PureSpectrum’s dimmable CFL contains far fewer components than conventional dimmable CFLs, allowing the eventual retail cost to be substantially lower than any product currently on the market. All PureSpectrum CFLs will be fully dimmable and compliant with established performance standards set forth by Energy Star, Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
