RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cyberlux Corporation, (BULLETIN BOARD: CYBL) , a leading provider of LED lighting solutions, announced today that the Company has received a purchase commitment for 10 BrightEye Dual Lighthead Tactical Illumination Systems from the Air National Guard. The initial Air National Guard order for 10 BrightEye Systems equates to $187,412 in revenue. In December 2007, the National Guard Bureau purchased 17 BrightEye Systems, a $313,004 purchase order, to equip the Nation's emergency response CERFP teams.
Over the last year, Cyberlux has worked with select Air National Guard units to evaluate the BrightEye products in order to refine the capabilities of the Cyberlux portable visible and night-vision compatible illumination systems. The Air National Guard intends to deploy the 10 BrightEye Dual Lighthead Tactical Illumination Systems to Aviation Support Facilities across the country. The BrightEye Systems will be used for aircraft maintenance lighting, expeditionary base lighting and other high-intensity lighting applications that require rapid deployment and a small size/weight footprint.
"We are excited to see the Air National Guard make this initial purchase of BrightEye Systems. This order is a result of the level of capability and performance our BrightEye Systems will deliver to the Air National Guard's Aviation Support Facilities," said Mark Schmidt, president and chief operating officer for Cyberlux. "There are hundreds of Aviation Support Facilities that service and maintain the National Guard aircraft and we anticipate expanding the BrightEye use to each Facility over the next several years. This order is the first step in deploying our BrightEye tactical lighting solution across the Air National Guard's aviation maintenance operations."
Earlier this week, a Cyberlux team of specialists participated in the National Guard's Vigilant Guard 2008 event and demonstrated the BrightEye 4M Tower Illumination System and the BrightEye Dual Lighthead Tactical Illumination System during various disaster response exercises. Importantly, the Cyberlux team was deployed with the Air National Guard's Emergency Medical Support (EMEDS) unit to provide the remote lighting capability for the EMEDS Operations Center. The EMEDS unit used the BrightEye 4M Tower for lighting the triage operations area while the Operations Center entry check point was lit by the BrightEye Dual Lighthead System. Inside the operating room, the BrightEye Dual Lighthead System was demonstrated for the EMEDS surgical team during their emergency surgical exercises. The BrightEye systems performed flawlessly during emergency medical exercises and the EMEDS units plan to pursue the BrightEye systems for field deployment.
The Air National Guard's federal mission is to maintain well-trained, well-equipped units available for prompt mobilization during war and provide assistance during national emergencies, such as natural disasters or civil disturbances. During peacetime, the combat-ready units and support units are assigned to most Air Force major commands to carry out missions compatible with training, mobilization readiness, humanitarian and contingency operations such as Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. The Air National Guard provides almost half of the Air Force's tactical airlift support, combat communications functions, aeromedical evacuations and aerial refueling. In addition, the Air National Guard has total responsibility for air defense of the entire United States.
The BrightEye Portable Illumination Systems are designed as visible and night-vision compatible illumination system for mission-critical tactical lighting requiring rapidly deployable, high-intensity lighting capability. Using advanced optics, advanced solid-state lighting technology, and light- weight advanced battery power, all contained in easily transportable wheeled cases, the BrightEye Systems are capable of eliminating the space-consuming bulk, noise and energy consumption of the current generator-powered incandescent lighting systems. Unique to the marketplace, the BrightEye Systems provide broad area visible white lighting and night-vision compatible IR lighting capable of operating all night on an advanced battery power system, capabilities not available in traditional lighting systems.
The BrightEye Systems are available through the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule 56 for Specialty Lighting products under Cyberlux GSA Contract GS-07F-9409S.
