LINCOLN , NE--(Marketwire - 09/23/09) - Axis Technologies Group, Inc. (OTC:AXTG), a green technology designer, manufacturer and marketer of a proprietary line of energy saving and daylight harvesting electronic dimming ballasts for the commercial lighting industry, announced today the appointment of Mr. Byron Hogue and Mr. William Bethell to the company's Advisory Board.

About Axis Technologies, Inc. (www.axistechnologyinc.com)
Axis Technologies Group, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary, Axis Technologies, Inc., designs, manufactures and markets a proprietary line of energy-saving and daylight harvesting electronic dimming ballasts for the commercial lighting industry. The patented Axis Dimming/Daylight Harvesting Ballast is a new technology that transforms the standard ballast into a dynamic energy saving system that can reduce lighting energy costs by up to 70%. The company's target market is small to large commercial users of fluorescent lighting including office buildings, wholesale and retail buildings, hospitals, schools, and government buildings.
The Axis Ballast utilizes an individual photo sensor to automatically adjust the amount of electrical current flowing to the light fixture and then dims or increases lighting in conjunction with the amount of available sunlight. The Axis Ballast avoids "over-lit" conditions that increase energy costs by harvesting and utilizing free daylight from windows or skylights. As the amount of available daylight fluctuates, the Axis Ballast automatically keeps lighting "tuned" to the desired level in a designated area. (www.axistechnologyinc.com/products.html) Underwriters Laboratory has approved Axis products for sale in both the United States and Canada. The Axis Dimming/Daylight Harvesting ballast is priced competitively and is the only daylight harvesting ballast system that can be marketed as a replacement for a standard ballast. Numerous utilities have included the Axis ballast in their rebate programs offered to their commercial and government customers. Axis Technologies recently introduced an addressable fluorescent lighting ballast which enables utilities to manage peak load demand through the remote controlled dimming of fluorescent lighting of corporate clients.
