Sunovia Energy Technologies, Inc., a renewable energy and energy conservation company, announced today that it has acquired the exclusive rights to patents that allow it to expand its existing product offering into the extended-life and security LED lighting markets.
The patents acquired, which include a critical electromechanical patent, enable Sunovia's EvoLucia(TM) LED lighting fixtures to differentiate between a power failure and the power being turned-off at the switch. This proprietary feature allows Sunovia the ability to market LED lighting products that remain illuminated during power outages. This system integration is especially important in countries that experience frequent blackouts and also to domestic customers that are concerned with weather events. Currently, the availability of products with this important feature is limited to a hardwire fixture that must be wired into the electrical outlet. The acquisition of these patents allows Sunovia the unique ability to deliver a wireless product to the market that can be safely and simply installed by anyone that can use a screw driver. In addition, the wireless aspect of the product allows Sunovia the ability to deliver a product to the retro-fit market rather than be confined to new construction.
Carl Smith, Sunovia's CEO and Chairman of the Board, stated, "The acquisition, development and integration of proprietary technologies within the burgeoning energy conservation markets is the primary focus of our business plan; and our continued ability to deliver practical and energy- efficient solutions to the global lighting markets will further solidify our position as a rising player within this immense market."
