Unique, Ultra-Slim Design Provides Warm, Elegant LED Light for Surfaces NEW YORK, June 5
NEW YORK, June 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lighting Science Group
(OTC Bulletin Board: LSCG) ("LSG"), a global developer and integrator of
intelligent and efficient light-emitting diode (LED) solutions, today
announced the U.S. availability of its Eyeleds brand of solid state decorative
lighting systems. Eyeleds are the first ultra-thin, recessed commercial and
residential solid-state lighting systems for flooring, sidewalks, patios and
other surfaces. The product will be publicly introduced at LSG's booth
(#7-1050) at the NeoCon(R) World's Trade Fair in Chicago June 9-11.
The low profile Eyeleds product is ideal for various building materials,
including carpeting, wood panels, walls, concrete and other flat surfaces. The
product offers a "green" lighting option for consumers, wholesalers,
architects and design firms, flooring and lighting distributors, landscape
designers and contractors.
"Eyeleds, having established a significant presence in Europe, will
introduce U.S. customers to a new standard of creativity and elegance for
surface lighting," said Govi Rao, chairman and chief executive officer of
Lighting Science Group. "Architects, contractors, and designers in North
America will have increased design flexibility combined with ease of
installation. Slim, sleek and rugged, Eyeleds enable lighting options that
are new to the world."
Eyeleds were originally introduced in 2004 by Lighting Partner BV, the
European LED leader that LSG acquired in April 2008. Since the initial
introduction, the product has become a well-known brand for many lighting
customers in Europe.
The products measure 1/4" (6.5mm) deep, operate on 12VDC and consume as
little as .3W per light point. They are designed for easy installation in most
building materials including carpeting, hardwood, laminate, stone, porcelain,
ceramic, quartz, rubber, cork and bamboo -- both for indoor and outdoor
applications. The simple design does not require fitting by a certified
electrician and can be installed by a building products trade professional or
the average "do it yourself" consumer.

PowerEye
The PowerEye is a highly advanced range of lighting which utilizes high
power LED light source. This range advances LED lighting technology from being
purely decorative, to becoming a truly ambient light source. The PowerEye is

for use as task lighting in, among other things, ceilings, recessed cubbies,
under-cabinets, display cases, baseboards, stair stringers, stair risers, wall

The ColorEye is an advanced programmable lighting system, utilizing RGB
(Red, Green, and Blue) LEDs. The ColorEye is operated by a control unit

myriad of custom combinations. Its sequence design software allows for custom
programming of static and dynamic light scenes. The product serves as a
decorative lighting system for use in flooring and vertical surfaces in
