(Charlotte, N.C.) Nexxus Lighting, Inc. (NASDAQ Capital Market: NEXS) announced today that it has launched its new narrow optic (25 degree Beam Angle) product offering for its Par 30, Par 16 and MR16 Array™ LED replacement lamp line and that it has received purchase orders valued at over $565,000 for Array™ lamps in the last 60 days. 

“Momentum is building on this exciting new product line, and with the launch of our much anticipated 25 degree lens offering – we are now able to address applications needing a more direct focus of light; including spot lighting of merchandise for retail stores, track lighting, and numerous other spot / accent lighting applications,” stated Mike Bauer, President & CEO of Nexxus Lighting.  “We are receiving tremendous feedback on how well the lamps are performing, how thermally cool they operate and how lightweight they are compared to other competitive offerings.  Now that the full initial product offering is complete, including the 230 volt version of our Par 30 lamp for Europe, our team is now focused on ramping sales and building brand awareness at a faster pace.  Array lamps have been featured in several recent publications including The New York Times, The Electrical Distributor (TED), Lighting Design + Application (LD+A) and Visual Merchandising magazine, and our goal is to make more and more businesses aware of the cost saving benefits of this new LED replacement lamp line,” concluded Mr. Bauer.

The Array™ LED lamp technology is quickly becoming a solution for restaurants, hotels and retailers across North America, Europe, Australia and countries around the world, as a way to save on energy and maintenance costs while also being environmentally responsible through the reduction of carbon and mercury emissions. Array™ Lighting LED replacement lamps can reduce energy consumption by over 80% over incandescent lamps and can save as much as 25% on energy vs. compact fluorescent (CFL) lamps.  In addition, Array™ LED lamps last over 50,000 hours as compared to only 1,000 to 2,000 hours for incandescent and 6,000 to 10,000 hours for CFL lamps and, unlike CFL lamps, Array™ LED lamps do not contain mercury or lead and are RoHS compliant.
