SARASOTA, Fla., Feb. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Evolucia Inc.
(OTCBB & OTCQB: ILED) announced on February 3, 2014 that it had been awarded Patent
No. 8,635,049 for a "Light unit with light output pattern
synthesized from multiple light sources." This patent allows
Evolucia the proprietary rights to exclusively design, engineer and
manufacture LED lights that utilize multiple mounting angles within
a LED fixture to precisely "aim" light at a specific target
area. Last night, at the 'Strategy in Light' Conference in
Santa Clara, CA, Evolucia's new
Aimed Optics products were recognized in the Next Generation
Outdoor Luminaire Award ceremony for their color quality,
appropriate illuminance, light distribution, glare control,
appearance, serviceability, and value. Energy efficiency and
lumen maintenance were evaluated quantitatively based on required
documentation, and flexibility, innovation, and controllability
were taken into consideration when appropriate. A link to the
winners' page can be viewed at:

This prestigious competition is organized annually by the United
States Department of Energy, the Illuminating Engineering Society
of North America and the
International Association of Lighting Designers to recognize high
performing and innovative commercial outdoor lighting
solutions.
This recognition validates Evolucia's next-generation Night
Warrior and Night Watch product lines; and further validates
Evolucia's Aimed Optics technology as one of the most efficient LED
lighting technologies in the industry. Our patented Aimed
Optics technology allows our fixtures to deliver the highest amount
of clean white light to the target area while requiring the least
amount of energy. We accomplish this by aiming the LEDs
within each fixture at pre-defined points of the target area such
that the target area is completely and uniformly illuminated.
Evolucia has invested significant capital into its patented
Aimed Optics product development platform, and has spent the last
two years refining its next generation outdoor and indoor product
lines in order to minimize material and component costs and to
ensure manufacturing efficiencies.
According to Paul Montesino, VP
of Global Marketing at Evolucia, "A tremendous amount of work has
gone into the design, engineering, production and quality control
processes for the launch of these new product lines. We
submitted two of our Aimed Optics products to the NGL for
consideration, our next generation Cobrahead and our new Night
Watchman parking and area light, and both products were recognized
for their excellence by the NGL. Our Aimed Optics platform is
allowing us to deliver high performance products with lower system
costs per application, which provides our sales force with a
distinct advantage over the competition."
