| As seen in Financial News - Yahoo! LEDs Move Into Home Lighting Market: “He says his 54 LED fixtures together use less electricity than a single 100-watt incandescent and account for just $2 a month on his utility bill.” June 2007 |

| As seen in Forbes: “Compared with traditional lights, LEDs are more energy efficient, less fragile and have far longer lifespans; they last about a decade.” September 2006 |

| As seen in CNet News: “To make matters worse, traditional lightbulbs are incredibly inefficient. Only about 5 percent of the energy that goes into them turns into light. The majority gets dissipated as heat. If 25 percent of the lightbulbs in the U.S. were converted to LEDs putting out 150 lumens per watt (higher than the commercial standard now), the U.S. as a whole could save $115 billion in utility costs, cumulatively, by 2025, said DenBaars, and it would alleviate the need to build 133 new coal-burning power stations. In turn, carbon emissions in the atmosphere would go down by 258 million metric tons.” November 2006 |

As seen on CNN Money and Fortune: “LEDs are entirely different. They don't need bulbs at all - they are semiconductor chips that emit light when zapped with electricity; the colors differ depending on the material in the chip…LEDs have a lifespan of up to 10,000 hours, or 11 years…Next, they are likely to find their way into office and industrial buildings, particularly as states enact tougher building codes that require energy efficiency, as California has done. "The state of California is our best ally," Swoboda says. California says discarded CFL bulbs must be treated as toxic waste because they contain mercury; this year, believe it or not, state legislators have introduced bills that would eventually ban incandescent light bulbs.” February 2007
