LGSP .52 Baby Sea Turtles Protected by Cutting Edge Lighting Science Group LED Lighting Technology
Changing the Way the World Sees Light(TM)
Jun 22, 2007 10:55:00 AM

DALLAS, June 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- It's sea turtle nesting season up and down the east coast of Florida, and once again, the baby sea turtle population is at risk. Baby sea turtles are drawn into harm's way because they are attracted to the bright white lights on docks, back porches and other building exteriors, rather than following the natural light of the moon and heading for the safety of the ocean. That is, until now. Lighting Science Group Corporation, (OTC Bulletin Board: LSGP) (LSG), a leading provider of energy efficient and environmentally responsible lighting solutions, announced today the first commercial installation of its amber-colored R20 LED "Turtle Lights" at the Radisson Suite Hotel Oceanfront in Melbourne, Fla.

To encourage additional commercial and residential adoption of this environmentally-friendly technology, the Company also announced that it will offer a $5.00 manufacturers rebate on the purchase of each "Turtle Light" sold at the Wal-Mart store in Satellite Beach, Fla., located in Brevard County, where there is highest rate of sea turtle nesting in the state. The lights are priced at $29.99 (including rebate) and are in-stock and available now. For a special promotional period, Wal-Mart customers will receive a free R30 LED "Turtle Light" with each purchase of the Company's R20 LED "Turtle Light."

Lighting Science Group has developed the "Turtle Light," an amber light emitting diode (LED) light that has been certified by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission for use in sea turtle habitat areas. The light can be used along waterfronts and has been proven not to attract sea turtles looking to nest and lay their eggs, and more importantly, will not attract the baby turtles looking to make their way to the sea right after hatching.

"LED lighting is no longer the 'technology of tomorrow.' It is here today, and can help save the planet in ways that most people don't even think about," said Ron Lusk, chairman and chief executive officer of Lighting Science Group Corporation. "These 'Turtle Lights' are an excellent example of LSG's commitment to changing the way the world sees light and improving the environment with innovative Optimized Digital Lighting(R) solutions."

Commenting on the installation of the "Turtle Lights" at its property, Raed Alshaibi, manager of the Radisson Suite Hotel Oceanfront, noted, "As an engaged and environmentally focused member of the Western Florida coastal community, Radisson Hotels and Resorts is proud to support this worthwhile endeavor. For years, we have been aware of the problem facing the sea turtle population but were unable to find a viable, cost effective and environmentally friendly solution. Meeting with management from Lighting Science Group, we were delighted to have been presented with this simple, yet extremely effective solution."

Lusk concluded, "Using our 'Turtle Light' means the hatchlings will head for the sea rather than towards houses and docks where predators lurk. In addition to providing significant energy savings, our LED lights last 50,000 hours, which means the bulb will last for about 12 years. Finally, our bulbs contain no mercury or other hazardous substances found in compact fluorescents (CFL) and HID lighting."

The rebate is good from Saturday, June 23 for as long as supplies last. To redeem the rebate customers must mail in the UPC code from the side of the package along with a copy of their receipt. For more information please visit the LSG website at (www.lsgc.com).
