Press Release Summary: Concerns about energy and global warming prompt retailer to
offer new high technology products that allow gift buyers to \"buy green\".

Press Release Body: Unique Gifts for Men is a leading retailer of LED lighting
tools that are designed to take advantage of the small size and low power
consumption nature of LEDs. These LEDs (light emitting diodes), are electronic light
sources and are far more efficient than traditional light bulbs which use burning
filaments to produce light. \"This is the time to begin conversion of lighting from
inefficient incandescent to the highly efficient LED electronic lighting\" according
to Unique Gifts for Men spokesman J.L. Armstrong .\" LEDs are the light source of
the future. Incandescent bulbs waste 90% of the electricity they burn by generating
heat - not light. Fluorescent bulbs are more efficient than ordinary incandescent
bulbs, but they contain mercury, a toxic material that pollutes our landfills. As
well, both incandescent and fluorescent bulbs are fragile - they break easily and
compared to LEDs, they have a short life. Many jurisdictions are banning
incandescent bulbs in 2012. LEDs are quickly replacing incandescent and fluorescent
bulbs in many applications because they are bright, they don\'t break, they don\'t get
hot, they are eco-friendly and they typically last for more than 50,000 hours.\"

The giftware retailer supplies a range of LED products including inspection lights,
flashlights and work lights; all powered by LEDs. Featured products include a new
175 lumen flashlight that fits in the palm of the hand and a cordless high powered
inspection light with a flexible gooseneck. Although all of the lighting tools have
been designed for daily professional use, these products are also in demand by
hobbyists who appreciate the features and durability inherent in industrial quality
tools.


The product theme at Unique Gifts for Men is cordless portability, a major
consideration in the design of any type of lighting. One example of the advanced
LED lighting tool design that is available from the company is the WorkStarT model
1200 trouble light, a tool originally designed for use by auto mechanics, but is now
in use by various trades including industrial \"maintenance, repair and overhaul
(MRO) as well as serious do-it-yourselfers (DIY). 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. The WorkStarT
features a unique two axis moveable light head that lets the technician direct the
light exactly where he needs it. The user simply suspends the light by its hook or
its magnets and turns the LED light head to direct the light where he wants it. 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.

Unique Gifts for Men is an internet retailer offering unusual lighting giftware
for tradesmen and hobbyists.
