Net effect…and how to capitalize

LED’s can save over 80% on energy vs. conventional light sources

Lighting consumes over 20% of the electrical energy in the United States

Cascade effect on Energy: Conventional Lighting adds HVAC loads in commercial and industrial buildings…increasing energy consumption

December 2007 U.S. energy bill specifies that beginning in 2012, all new bulbs must use 25% to 30% less energy for the same light output as today’s incandescent bulbs

With focus on energy savings, declining component costs, higher performance metrics and environmental concerns and regulatory influence, LED-based lighting has a significant opportunity to penetrate the general illumination market

Addressing and Resolving LED Challenges

We have developed a unique approach that will accelerate market adoption of LED technology for the general illumination market

LED Challenges

LEDs are not a “cool” source and require proper thermal management

“Real World” efficacy has been 40 to 60 lumens per watt

Focus has been on high power LED clusters to achieve higher light (lumen) output fixtures

High power LEDs and manufacturing techniques have been cost prohibitive

Nexxus Approach

Low current / low power dies are the solution

Based on patent pending Selective Heat Sink we have achieved up to 95 lumens per watt

Low current / low power dies are the solution

Array based on cost effective LEDs and automated manufacturing processes

48.6 percent of all energy in the United States is generated from coal burning power plants. Power plant emissions contain mercury which is released once the coal is burned. CFL’s on average contain 4 mg of mercury which has to be disposed by land filling. If a CFL is disposed of improperly the 4 mg contained within the lamp can released directly into the ecosystem.
