Lumineering, Inc. to Manufacture LED Panels From Recycled Fluorescent Lens

    MOUNTAINVIEW, CA, July 15, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Lumeneering, Inc. has announced it will manufacture an acrylic panel of fully-automated Light Emitting Diodes (LED) and reflectors using recycled lenses from fluorescent lighting fixtures. The LED panels will be retrofitted in commercial buildings, promising a payback within two years for commercial building owners by cutting lighting energy costs up to 90% as compared to fluorescent lighting.

Osram, an international lighting manufacturer, has agreed to provide LEDs for Lumineering's initial Luma One Luminous Panel. The patent-pending panel design includes an onboard microprocessor which communicates via power line with a network designed for control and programming. The Luma One Luminous panel features occupancy detection, time of day control, and dimming. The panel adheres to the DALI Standard for lighting control with high color rendering properties as well as an industry leading power factor of 95%.

The City of Belleville, Ontario, Canada has expressed interest in becoming a beta deployment site and assist in securing government investment in a manufacturing location. Lumeneering, Inc. plans to launch its efforts through pilot program deployment with leading utilities and municipalities that provide incentives for customers who deliver verifiable energy savings, and municipalities seeking local clean technology jobs in both manufacturing and installation.

Michael R. Freeman, Lumineering's Chief Executive Officer, leads an experienced management team in both lighting retrofit and energy conservation. Mr. Freeman was Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Mainstreet Networks, a utility smart metering company, from 1995 to 2001.
