DEERFIELD BEACH, FL, February 6, 2014 – Capstone Companies, Inc. (OTCQB: CAPC), a leader in the design and manufacture of specialty power failure lighting solutions and innovator of consumer safety and security products for the Hospitality, Retail and Institutional channels, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Capstone Lighting Technologies, LLC, has been assigned the power failure technology patent application filed on January 3, 2014, by inventors Neil Singer, PhD, Ken Pasch, PhD and John Granada, from AC Kinetics and Stewart Wallach, CEO of Capstone Companies Inc.
The proprietary technical attributes of the technology enables unique power failure detection, switch controlled properties, as well as thermal protection. Notably, it is applicable for a broad variety of lighting fixture configurations. With this innovation Capstone plans to expand its product line into a larger and more diverse offering of stylish indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures, which combine day-to-day lighting solutions with the safety of power failure lighting capabilities. It can be incorporated into almost any lighting fixture design including standard bulb socket adapters, ceiling can lights, track and counter lighting, lamps, chandeliers and other indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures.
Stewart Wallach, Chief Executive Officer of Capstone, commented, “Today is another important milestone for Capstone and represents the culmination of over 14 months of collaboration with AC Kinetics. With this groundbreaking technological innovation, Capstone is capable of providing seamless, integrated power failure lighting solutions while maintaining the design and style of the primary lighting fixtures. Imagine your power going out, but the lights functioning throughout your home just as they would when power is available.”
When power failure occurs it activates the technology’s power failure lighting solution. Lights using the technology can be operated on an as needed basis. This feature enables the user to conserve their power failure resources providing lighting solutions capable of spanning long periods of extended power outages.
By incorporating a thermal overload safety protection, the proprietary technology can be used in applications with insulated lighting fixtures including ceiling cans or small closets.
In closing Mr. Wallach noted, “We believe this is a unique solution which we expect to assume a lead role in the power failure lighting industry. We are now capable of providing the safety of power failure lighting solutions without compromising the style and design of an interior or exterior space.”
Capstone expects to debut the initial products incorporating this groundbreaking power failure lighting technology ahead of the 2014 Hardware Show in Las Vegas, NV on May 6, 2014.
