Press Release Summary = According to Canadian Natural Resources Minister Gary Lunn
in an announcement made to the press January 17 in Ottawa, most incandescent
lighting wastes 95% of its energy by producing heat, using only 5% of the energy to
produce light. The new WorkStarT 1200 radically changes that equation.

Press Release Body = The energy saving WorkStarT is not a flashlight - it is a
portable, cordless, rechargeable task light that uses a state-of-the-art high
efficiency diode to produce light. These light emitting diodes, known as LEDs, are
electronic light sources and are far more efficient than traditional light bulbs
which use burning filaments to produce light.

According to Maxxeon Inc. company spokesman, John Schira, \"the WorkStarT uses
rechargeable batteries and because of the efficiency of the LED, it lights up the
work area for over 5 hours on a single charge.\"

The LED light emitting diode technology means never having to replace a bulb and the
specially engineered reflector helps make this lighting tool one of the most
efficient work lights available today. Gone are the days of having to replace
fragile and expensive fluorescent tubes and incandescent light bulbs.

The WorkStarT was designed for auto mechanics, HVAC service technicians, most
professional industrial maintenance tradesmen, and emergency service and first
response teams. The LED is guaranteed for as long as you own the light, and the
batteries normally last 2 to 5 years before you need a replacement from the local
hardware store.

The WorkStarT worklight is ergonomically designed and is easy to use by attaching it
in the work area by its high-strength rare earth co-planar magnets, or by hanging
the light with its retractable hook. Unlike an ordinary trouble light, the
WorkStar\'s moveable light head makes it easy to point and direct the light to the
work area where it is needed, without wasting any light illuminating areas that are
not being inspected.

The Maxxeon WorkStarT is also an ideal lantern for camping and can be used as an
emergency flashlight in case of blackouts and power failures.
