BOCA RATON, Fla. - (Business Wire) Clear-Lite Holdings, Inc. (“ClearLite”) (OTCBB: CLRH), a leading innovator of eco-friendly lighting and the appreciably safer ArmorLite™ CFL, announced today that Popular Science magazine named its ArmorLite™ SAFETY ECO CFL™, which will be available next month, a “must-have” product in its September 2009 issue. The ArmorLite SAFETY ECO CFL is expected to revolutionize compact florescent lighting because it is both eco-friendly and when broken helps capture broken glass and mercury, providing an added barrier of safety between the user and the toxins inside.
In Popular Science’s listing of “must have” new products, the magazine selected ClearLite’s ArmorLite CFL for its safety features.
President and CEO Thomas Irvine of ClearLite said, “In light of recent concerns about the dangers of liquid mercury should the bulb break, we want to emphasize that ClearLite doesn’t use liquid mercury in its CFLs. Instead it uses an amalgam, an alloy of mercury and other metals in a solid form; helping make compliance with government regulations for mercury reduction easier to meet.
“As arguably the most popular consumer-oriented science magazine on the planet, Popular Science is a wonderful place to have our ArmorLite: A Safer CFL technology showcased and we are thrilled that the magazine chose our product,” added Thomas Irvine.
“We look forward to the enhanced awareness the article will bring our brand, and more importantly, awareness of the mercury contamination concerns of conventional CFLs with liquid mercury and what ArmorLite is doing to helping provide a safer alternative for families at home or at work,” he said.
Popular Science, founded in 1872, is the world’s largest science and technology magazine, with a circulation of 1.3 million and 6.8 million monthly readers. Each month, Popular Science reports on the intersection of science and everyday life, with an eye toward what’s new and why it matters. Popular Science is published by Bonnier Active Media, a subsidiary of Bonnier Corporation.
ClearLite constantly embraces innovation and bold ideas and is continually developing cutting-edge products that help reduce energy use, provide a more natural light and A Safer CFL. ArmorLite helps capture broken glass and mercury by wrapping its CFL bulb with a special eco safety coating SX4000™.
