Cyberlux Urges Hurricane Preparedness


Company provides lighting options during natural disasters

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., May 19, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- May 15 - 21 is National Hurricane Preparedness Week, and Cyberlux Corporation urges residents in areas vulnerable to hurricanes to take steps to get ready before the season begins next month.
"There are a number of things people can do to brace for hurricanes," said Mark Schmidt, president and COO of Cyberlux. "Hurricanes can be devastating, but being prepared gives people peace of mind and a sense of control when facing a disaster."



Hurricane Preparedness Tips:

* Develop a family plan for weathering the storm or evacuating
* Identify a safe room or the safest areas in your home for each
hurricane hazard. In certain circumstances the safest areas may not be
your home but within your community
* In the event of an evacuation, map out the nearest evacuation route
* Create a disaster supply kit - bottled water, nonperishable food items,
can opener, supplies of medications, battery-powered radio, charged
cell phone, light source such as a Cyberlux safety lighting product

Cyberlux is a solid-state lighting company that has created breakthrough lighting products for home and industrial use. During power outages and time of critical security lighting needs, the Cyberlux family of products delivers portable, efficient light solutions.
During hurricane season, Cyberlux will introduce two new products that will offer lighting safety, efficiency and flexibility unavailable on the market today:



* The Cyberlux Nightstand Luminary is a lightweight safety light with an
eight inch elliptical reflector, which has three levels of light
brightness. It provides six months of normal use on one set of four AA
batteries.
* Cyberlux will also introduce its Cyclone Power Light Plant this
hurricane season. This portable lighting source is designed to provide
reliable lighting for use in the home or office during electrical
disruptions.
* The Cyclone can be recharged from either a wall outlet or vehicle
charge port. Its rotating light head may be tightly focused for an
intense beam on a work task or adjusted to generate a blanket of light
similar to a table lamp. This product offers 60 hours of light per
charge and provides a port in its handle to recharge a cell phone.

"The Cyclone and Nightstand Luminary products are designed to provide basic lighting needs necessary after disasters such as hurricanes," said Schmidt. "We feel fortunate to have products that can bring a degree of normalcy back to people in the wake of a storm."
In January, Cyberlux donated cases of its lights to tsunami victims and relief workers on the Thai island of Phuket, one of the hardest-hit parts of the mainland. After Hurricane Charley in 2004, Cyberlux donated hundreds of lights to support recovery efforts by emergency management crews during the power outages following the storm's landfall.
