CHARLOTTE, N.C.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Nexxus Lighting, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEXS) today announced that it has begun production and sale of its new Array™ Lighting brand of LED lamps.

The new Array™ Lighting Par 30, Par 16 and G4 LED are the first bulbs to begin production and offer direct replacement for conventional incandescent, halogen and CFL Par/R light bulbs and T3 bi-pin bulbs. The Array Lighting LED lamps feature its patent pending, Selective Heat Sink (SHS) technology to achieve the highest efficacy levels of any LED replacement lamp in the industry. Array Lamps offer tremendous cost and energy savings by consuming only 5.5 and 7.8 watts for the Par 30 lamps, 2.6 watts for the Par 16 lamps and 1.2 watts for the G4 lamps which can amount to over 80% energy savings versus incandescent bulbs. Additional savings are gained in avoiding lamp replacement costs due to the lamp's 50,000 hour lamp life, making the Array lamps ideal for long burn hour, always on and 24/7 buildings and facilities including commercial, institutional, hospitality and retail down lighting, track lighting, accent lighting and under-counter/cabinet lighting applications.

"This marks a new era for Nexxus Lighting. We are very excited to begin production and shipment of the first lamps in our Array™ Lighting line of products and we are very pleased with the market response since we originally announced the development of this product line," stated Mike Bauer, President & CEO of Nexxus Lighting. "The product is ground breaking in its design and performance. It is light weight, contains no mercury, reduces CO₂ emissions and can achieve unmatched lumen per watt efficacies which are over 30% higher than other LED products on the market today."

Array Lighting's patent pending design, thermal management system and its manufacturing methodology reduces metal content to a minimum, reduces cost and at the same time maximizes luminous efficacies up to 95 lumens per watt. The Array™ bulbs are available in warm white (ANSI 3000K), natural white (ANSI 5000K) and cool white (ANSI 6500K) color temperatures and are fully dimmable on standard commercial dimmers.

The complete line of Array Lighting LED lamps, including the MR16 bi-pin and the MR 16 with a GU10 base, are scheduled to be rolled out through the balance of the first quarter of 2009.

Nexxus Lighting is a leader in advanced lighting technology, including solid-state LED and fiber optic lighting systems and controls used in commercial, architectural, signage, swimming pool, entertainment and retail lighting. Nexxus Lighting sells its products through its Array Lighting, SV Lighting, Advanced Lighting Systems, Lumificient and Nexxus Lighting Pool & Spas business units under the Array™, Savi®, eLum™, LiveLED™, Super Vision® Fiber Optics and Advanced Lighting Systems™ Fiber Optics brand names.
