the exercise of the Efficient Lights option
The IES transaction was completed on April 1, 2010, and the acquisition ownership and deal structure is similar to the structure the Company successfully utilized during the development of its EfficientLights business. Specifically, PowerSecure owns a two-thirds controlling interest in IES, which it acquired for cash proceeds of $4.4 million, and the IES management team owns the remaining one-third.
As a result, PowerSecure will include the financial results of IES on a consolidated basis in its financial statements, with adjustments to reduce PowerSecure’s net income for the minority interest portion of IES’s net income. Additionally, PowerSecure has the option to increase its ownership of IES to 100% by issuing PowerSecure common shares in exchange for the remaining one-third ownership interest in IES. The number of shares led high bay lights issued will be determined according to a formula based on PowerSecure’s Revenue and E.P.S. multiples, subject to a $10 million minimum value. The formula enables PowerSecure to acquire the remaining one-third interest on terms that are accretive to the Company’s E.P.S., while providing the IES management team with significant incentives for delivering profitable growth.
PowerSecure’s plan to exercise its option to increase its ownership of EfficientLights from 67% to 100% recognizes the highly successful results EfficientLights has posted to date, its strong backlog of orders for 2010, and its strong prospects for future growth. The transaction is expected to be accretive, and will involve the issuance of PowerSecure common shares in exchange for the remaining one-third minority interest in EfficientLights.
The number of shares to be issued in exchange for the remaining one-third interest will be 1,000,000 shares, provided that if the average closing price of the PowerSecure shares over the ten days preceding the transaction is less than $10.00 per share, then the number of shares delivered increases to maintain a transaction value of $10.0 million. After the exercise of the Efficient Lights option, EfficientLights will become a wholly-owned subsidiary and the Company will realize 100% of the EfficientLights profit, and will no longer reduce its net income for the amount attributable to the EfficientLights non-controlling interest.
White LEDs are well-known in various fields such as for LCD TV’s backlights or lighting and they require strict color control of the chromaticity range, especially in white LED linear high bay light for general lighting. Usually, the products need to be ranked and sorted according to the requirements before shipment, as the color always varies even if the products are produced in the same lot.

the semiconductor ecological light source
Per Roger Xiao, Asia Pacific Sales Director of Labsphere, a key reason the Institute selected Labsphere is, “Labsphere can commit to the customer that we can help them with customization of led high bay light software locally; also both parties can cooperate on building a SSL test and measurement platform that complies with international industry trends.
He is widely known for having developed the high-brightness blue LED based on GaN in 1993 while working for Nichia Corporation in Japan. In those days, developing a blue LED was considered impossible; only red and green LEDs had been available for the prior 20 years. Prof. Nakamura’s innovation allowed LED manufacturers to produce LEDs with three primary colors (red, green and blue) which could be mixed to express 16 million colors. Perhaps most importantly, the new technology was leveraged by the LED industry to begin commercial production of white LEDs, the semiconductor ecological light source.
In 2006, Nakamura won the Millennium Technology Prize of Finland, known as “the Nobel Prize in the technology field.” In 2004, he received the Benjamin Franklin Medal in the engineering segment, previously conferred upon Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein. In addition, he won The LED linear high bay light, given to only six scientists who have made an outstanding contribution to innovation of technology. In 2009, he received the Harvey Prize from the Technion in Israel.

What is really exciting is that more contracts are coming
One contract, with Woodstone Energy, is to upgrade the lighting at a large Fortune 50 manufacturing facility which will involve the retrofit and replacement of several thousand fixtures. The other two contracts are with large National Energy Services Companies ("ESCOs"); one to upgrade a community college and the other encompasses the upgrade of several county government buildings in the Southeast. In all three of these contracts, SRC has already audited the existing facilities, inventoried their lighting systems, proposed an improved design and will now procure the materials and oversee the installations. All three contracts are expected to be completed before the end of the year.
Rob Wilson, VP of SRC, commented, "We have established ourselves as a premier lighting design and retrofit firm. That combined with our positive relationship with Woodstone Energy and other ESCOs is clearly giving us a competitive advantage in securing these contracts."
What is really exciting is that more contracts are coming. Our engineered sales proposal pipeline continues to grow. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus money is beginning to trickle into the market and finding its way into lighting upgrade projects. As a result, we are receiving more requests for lighting upgrade proposals, most of which are coming from the public sector."
The LED-Downlight E8 offers highest quality white light, individually tuneable from warm white (2700 Kelvin) up to cool white (6500 Kelvin) thus allowing customised adjustments from "Morning Sun" to "Moonlight" and up to "Firelight" with a Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of 90. The E8 offers a comparable performance at 12W to 75W Halogen Lamps or 26W Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL), energy savings of up to 83% and a long lifetime of up to 35,000 hours.

the same mounting locations and sizes
Optrex LED-backlit LCDs offer numerous advantages over conventional CCFL-backlit LCDs, including no warm-up time at low temperatures, lower power consumption, higher dimming ratios and, because they do not require high-voltage and high-frequency inverter circuits, significantly reduced electro-magnetic interference (EMI). And since LED backlights contain no mercury, these displays offer a more environmentally friendly option as well.
These displays also offer Optrex’s Natural Color Matrix (NCM) technology, a patented color transformation algorithm implemented in the hardware that provides real-time on-the-fly processing to precisely match the colors specified in a data source for exceptionally vivid color reproduction. Additional features include industrial standard CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) and LVDS (low-voltage differential signaling) interfaces for easy system development.
To ease the customer’s transition from CCFL-backlit displays, many of the new LED-backlit displays have the same mounting locations and sizes, saving on re-design and development costs. Each of the new panels are compatible with Optrex’s conventional CCFL-backlit TFT LCDs of the same size and resolution. The LED backlight rails are also field replaceable.

the signage industry and for the design of LED luminaires
In addition to existing partners from optics, thermal management and electronics (OTE), the LED Light for you (LLFY) network now includes system integrators. As the professional link between customers and OTE specialists, they are the contacts for customers and at the same time the coordinators for OTE specialists. Depending on the particular requirements, they bring experts together from all three sectors and if necessary offer support for end users at all stages up to the successful completion of their projects.
The concept of system integrators makes it easier for end users to use pioneering LED technology for various lighting solutions. As the “one face to the customer”, system integrators are the interface between the customer and the application. They focus specifically on customer requirements and bring together the appropriate partners from the optics, thermal management and electronics sectors to achieve the desired results. If requested to do so, they will also coordinate all the activities necessary for the successful completion of a project. “The network therefore offers a complete solution from a single source for various target groups such as architects, luminaire manufacturers and anyone interested in LED technology”, said Sebastian Lyschick, LLFY Project Manager at YAHAM Opto Semiconductors. “As a link between LED users and specialists from the OTE sectors, the system integrator can coordinate entire projects or various aspects of such projects.”
Specialist system integrators are available for a wide variety of lighting solutions, such as those for architectural applications, for applications in the signage industry and for the design of LED luminaires. In the architectural sector for example, it is lighting planners who take on this role. At present, there are 13 system integrators among around 80 partners currently active throughout the world.
