EPA Honors Destination Lighting for Excellence in Environmental Lighting

SEATTLE-March 22, 2007-Recognizing Destination Lighting's commitment to "promoting
environmental protection through energy efficient lighting," the United States
Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy are awarding the company
the Certificate of Recognition for Excellence in Lighting Retailing. The honor was
announced yesterday at the Energy Star® Awards Ceremony in Washington, D.C.

"Protecting the environment is a major priority for us and we are so proud that the
EPA is recognizing our efforts," says Dave McKee, Chief Operating Officer. "With one
of the most complete high efficacy product catalogues available, we are fast
becoming the specialty shop for energy efficient lighting and information on the
Web."

Indeed, Destination Lighting is making it both easy and affordable to "go green."
The company offers a host of Energy Star® and energy efficient bulbs and
fixtures-often at the same price as traditional, energy expending products. It is
also introducing the revolutionary Socket Lockit®, which can permanently transform
most incandescent fixtures into energy efficient light sources quickly and easily.
All of Destination Lighting's Energy Star® products and the Socket Lockit® meet
California's Title 24 regulations for energy efficiency, and a new line of outdoor
compact fluorescent lights will comply with Washington State's upcoming CFL mandate
(set to go into effect in July).

Destination Lighting realizes that energy efficient products make sense not just
environmentally, but practically. Products such as the Energy Star® Motion Sensor
Fluorescent Ceiling Fixture turn on automatically when someone enters the room, and
off when they exit. Ideal for laundry rooms, basements, attics, pantries, closets
and children's rooms, these lights provide safety, convenience and energy savings
simultaneously. Likewise, outdoor lights with photocells instantly illuminate when
the sun sets and shut off at sunrise, enabling safe passage to and from your house
at night and creating the illusion that someone is always at home. Photocells are
built into many of the products Destination Lighting sells and are also sold
separately so that, as with the Socket Lockit®, most fixtures can be converted into
energy conserving lights.

Offering world class fixtures and design expertise, DestinationLighting.com features
more than 4,000 products-including many exclusive items not found anywhere else-and
offers free shipping on every order in the contiguous United States. Because
Destination Lighting stocks more than $10 million in inventory, over 80 percent of
the products are in stock and ready to ship the next business day.
