PureSpectrum, Inc. Will Develop T-8 Fluorescent Prototype

SAVANNAH, Ga., April 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PureSpectrum, Inc. (Pink Sheets: PSPM) will develop a ballast prototype for a four-tube, four- foot T-8 lamp, which will create additional markets for PureSpectrum Technology by ensuring that the proprietary circuitry design is viable for all major categories of fluorescent and High Intensity Discharge lighting.

Lighting systems are responsible for approximately 35 percent of the electricity costs in a typical commercial building and 10 percent in industrial settings. In an effort to reduce lighting energy costs, T-8 fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts have quickly become the standard for new fixtures and retrofits in commercial office buildings, schools, and a substantial portion of industrial lighting.

PureSpectrum Technology's patented circuitry design to improve electronic ballasts has already been successfully applied to ballast prototypes for T-4 fluorescent lamps as well as Compact Fluorescent Lighting and High Intensity Discharge bulbs. The company, which plans to license the technology to lighting manufacturers, is planning to demonstrate prototypes in each category during Lightfair International in May.

"As we prepare for meetings and discussions with potential licensees from around the globe, we needed to be sure that this technology will be effective for the most prevalent commercial and residential applications for fluorescent and HID lighting," Vanatta said. "We are committed to making this technology appealing to all manufacturers that produce fluorescent and HID lighting products. After our engineers complete the work on the T-8 prototype, we will know that the technology is compatible with all of the major product lines in commercial and residential lighting."
