TORRANCE, CA — February 9, 2001 — LEDtronics® announces its latest  generation of DécorLED direct incandescent replacement lamps that
	    combine today’s advanced Indium Gallium Aluminum Phosphide (InGaAlP)
	    and Silicon Carbide/Gallium Nitride (SiC/GaN) Light Emitting Diode (LED)
	    technology, standard bases (e.g. 25mm Edison screw base) and a design that
	    maximizes illumination. 
With a power draw of just 1.0 Watts - 1.7 Watts,
	    an 11-year LED operating life and six sunlight-visible colors from which
	    to select, solid-state DécorLEDs provide architects, entertainment
	    designers and other lighting professionals with the means to integrate ornamental
	    illumination into maintenance-intensive applications. A molded polycarbonate,
	    UV- and shatter-resistant globe protects the LED cluster from the environment.
	    DécorLED lamps are available in all common voltages from 120VDC/AC
	    to 12/14 volts DC. They are designed to perform well when subjected to voltage
	    dips or surges. Integrated current-limited resistors and polarity-protection
	    diodes assure that no circuit modifications are required. Custom frosted/tinted
	    bulbs, multi-colored lamps and special voltages are available depending
	    upon factory approval. G25, G40A, S11 and S14 size bulbs are available as
	    well.
	    Eighteen discrete LEDs are optimally configured either to disperse light
	    in a 270° wide angle or a 30° acute angle depending upon the model.
	    Individual high-intensity LEDs incorporate optical grade epoxy to produce
	    bright vivid illumination. Colors available are Green (10,000mcd), White
	    (6,000mcd), Blue (3,000mcd), Yellow (7,000mcd), Red (3,500mcd), and Orange
	    (6,500mcd) as well as derivations of those colors. Additionally, with the
	    use of multiple LEDs, an LED cluster lamp continues to provide light even
	    if one or more emitters fail unlike when the filament breaks in an incandescent
	    bulb.
	    Colored lenses or filters are not needed since LEDs emit colored light that
	    is determined by the composition of the semiconductor material comprising
	    the diode. Intensity and color remain stable over lamp’s lifetime.
	    DécorLED is an energy-efficient light source, saving 80% - 90% of
	    energy costs compared to a 15- or 20-Watt incandescent lamp. Because the
	    DécorLED uses very little energy and is virtually maintenance free
	    the cost savings are substantial. When compared to an equivalent incandescent,
	    the energy savings per 1,000 DécorLED lamps, including labor, averaged
	    over a decade equates to $140,000 (15W) and $184,000 (20W). These are conservative
	    figures without adjustments for inflation.
	    Solid-state design renders LEDs impervious to electrical and mechanical
	    shock, vibration, frequent switching and environmental extremes. With an
	    average life span of 100,000-plus hours (11 years), LEDs operate reliably
	    year after year and are appropriate for many applications. DécorLED
	    is an ideal solution for decorative and night task lighting applications
	    including large message panels, billboards, scoreboards, time and temperature
	    signs, arcade machines, casino accent light, theme and amusement parks,
	    stage lighting, carnivals, theaters and ornamental lighting. DécorLEDs
	    can be used as individual pixels in a large dot matrix screen, full color
	    screens, moving signs and displays.
