WHO WE ARE WHO WE ARE Founded in 2010 by a group of professional engineers with • extensive background in optoelectronics – Composed of experts in material science, thermal management, power driver electronics and optical design – Designed by engineering teams in Los Angeles, Shenzhen and T D i d b i i i L A l Sh h d T k okyo and d manufactured in Shenzhen – Manufacturing facility capable of producing over 1.2 million 4ft T8 equivalents annually equivalents annually We aim for the highest performance at modest prices, we utilize • talent from around the world to achieve the best possible performance and produce the products where the costs can be p p p driven down Currently OEM manufacturing for LG and OSRAM for certain LED • product lines p

WHAT SETS US APART WHAT SETS US APART • We work with the best LED suppliers, primarily utilizing our pp p y g solid relationships with LG Innotek and Samsung LED • We design products ground up from the demand side, all our designs cater to the specific needs of the lighting market designs cater to the specific needs of the lighting market • Our products are aimed towards the US and European markets where labor costs make up a substantial proportion of installation costs of installation costs • Our primary objective is long term viability, reliability comes first and foremost • Energy savings are a must, our minimum performance metric is over 100lm/w @ 85CRI across all our product lines and at present, are at the top of the class for each category on DLC p p g y

CURRENT T8 FLUORESCENT LAMPS CURRENT T8 FLUORESCENT LAMPS • T8 fluorescent lamps have the following metrics and issues: p g – 83~88lm/w typical design lamp efficacy at 25°C ambient temperature – 70~85Ra typical CRI, lower efficacy at higher CRI figures – 20K~25K hour 50% (L50) survival life, lower when cycling more often 20K 25K hour 50% (L50) survival life lower when cycling more often – Suffer fromchromatic shift over time, turning pinkish red to purple – Source of mercury contamination from low recycling levels in the US – Substantial lumen loss from LDD (Luminaire Dirt Depreciation) within months due to dust accumulation above lamps – Lower lux levels due to diffuse light spread, lamps also physically block substantial portions of the light reflected off the reflector
