Sandia Completes Testing of the ‘SP Cyberlight’ for the Department of Defense Power Surety Task Force, Product Passes Rigorous Testing by Major Governmental Laboratory, Field Deployment Underway
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cyberlux Corporation (OTCBB: CYBL), a leading provider of LED lighting solutions, announced today that the SP Cyberlight Solar LED Lighting System has successfully completed the Sandia National Laboratories testing protocol. The SP Cyberlight product is the solar-powered lighting system jointly developed by Cyberlux Corporation and Sacred Power Corporation for the Department of Defense (DoD) Power Surety Task Force. The Power Surety Task Force is tasked with identifying efficient energy solutions that support the Warfighter in the theater of operation, including portable solar lighting solutions for the night time security of Forward Base Operations.
Sandia National Laboratories evaluated the SP Cyberlight Solar LED Lighting System in two different modes of operation: one mode for checkpoint, access points and task lighting, and the other for perimeter lighting for forward bases, buildings and site security. The technical evaluation of each mode of operation addressed the optical properties of the lighting, the light beam profile and map, the light pattern, intensity and balance and the battery and battery charging performance. As part of the operational analysis, the Sandia assessment team also evaluated the product’s ease of use, the applicability of product features, the operability in expected conditions, the cost benefit and the product’s robustness.
In the overall findings published in the report, SAND2009-3730P, the Sandia assessment team concluded that the SP Cyberlight Solar LED Lighting System provides excellent lighting in the checkpoint mode of operation and site-specific task lighting uses such as construction. The product also gained technical approval for use in the perimeter security mode for forward base and general site security. The SP Cyberlight also received high marks for the solar and battery power capability, the overall usability of the LED lighting system, the product’s portability and ruggedness, and the cost of the system when compared to other tactical lighting solutions.
“The Sandia National Laboratories testing results verify that the SP Cyberlight LED Lighting System is an important portable lighting solution for Forward Base Operations, checkpoint security, perimeter security and general task lighting needs. This product also meets the Department of Defense mandate for renewable energy technologies that support the needs of the Warfighter. As a next step, the SP Cyberlight systems will be installed for field use, and we anticipate that this lighting solution will be quickly adapted by our deployed forces,” said Mark Schmidt, president and chief executive officer of Cyberlux. “Partnering with Sacred Power has been a significant ‘capability mulitplier’ for both companies and has resulted in the first of many LED lighting products that will combine Sacred Power’s renewable power expertise and our superior patented lighting technologies in a solar-powered LED lighting solution. We look forward to working hand-in-hand with Sacred Power on many future projects.”
Cyberlux and Sacred Power Corporation, a leading provider of renewable energy solutions, announced in October 2008 that the companies had entered into a teaming agreement to jointly develop the SP Cyberlight LED Lighting System product by incorporating the advanced capabilities of Cyberlux lighting and Sacred Power’s advanced solar power technology in order to deliver the solar-powered LED lighting solution as commissioned by the Power Surety Task Force. Sacred Power, a Native American owned and operated 8(a) certified company, specializes in solar power solutions and innovative renewable energy technologies and has significant government and military experience in the design and delivery of telecommunication, power generation and electrification projects.
The SP Cyberlight Solar LED Lighting System, now complete with the Sandia testing process, is being further evaluated at the Army’s National Training Center (NTC) located at Ft. Irwin, California. Reports from the NTC indicate that the systems will be shipped to Afghanistan for “in theater” demonstration purposes in preparation for requirements determination and ultimate procurement.
The SP Cyberlight LED Lighting System is built upon the patented and patent-pending technology behind the Cyberlux Tactical Illumination Systems. These LED lighting systems provide mission-critical visible and night-vision compatible lighting that use advanced optics, advanced solid-state lighting technology and advanced light-weight battery power, all contained in easily transportable cases. Cyberlux Tactical Illumination Systems provide broad area visible white lighting and night-vision compatible IR lighting capable of operating all night on battery power, qualities not available in traditional lighting systems. The U.S. Patent Office has awarded patent protection for 50 claims contained within the Company’s Portable Light Device patents, which provide Cyberlux with thorough patent protection for its lighting products and any future products developed on this patent foundation.
