U.S. Departments of the Army and Air Force Place $256,000 LED Lighting Order with Energy Focus

Energy Focus, Inc. (Nasdaq:EFOI), a provider of energy efficient lighting solutions, recently announced it received a $256,000 order from the Departments of the Army and Air Force to provide efficient area and security lighting for the Minnesota Air National Guard. The order for state-of-the-art LED lighting fixtures is expected to be fulfilled in October.



Joseph Kaveski, CEO, Energy Focus, Inc., said: "We are delighted to be able to provide these efficient, long lived, LED outdoor lighting fixtures to the U.S. Government." Mr. Kaveski continued, "These high-tech LED luminaires use only a fraction of the energy of the conventional High Intensity Discharge (HID) fixtures typically used in outdoor area and security applications. In addition, LEDs offer 'instant on' with no re-strike delay, perform in the coldest temperatures, are vibration and impact resistant and contain no mercury or lead."

Energy Focus Inc. sees this order as further evidence that the general lighting market is ready to accept this new technology. While LEDs have been in use for almost 10 years for specialty lighting applications, it has only been in the last 2 years that LEDs have emerged as viable alternatives to existing general lighting technologies. The recent stimulus plan put into place by President Obama is further putting LED and other energy efficient technologies on the forefront. With Government agencies being early adopters, the commercial lighting market is expected to follow in adopting these technologies.
