Press Release Summary: Recent outbreaks of salmonella in imported produce drives
more consumers to consider residential light solutions for grow lights supporting
locally grown produce


Press Release Body: Milpitas, CA, July 18, 2008 -- http://www.AccessDiscounts.us - a
leading supplier of grow lights, residential lighting and commercial lighting, today
announced the rising interest in grow lights in response to recent salmonella and
e.coli outbreaks linked to raw tomatoes, fresh cilantro, jalapeņo peppers, bulb
onions and scallions.

According to the CDC, 1090 persons infected with Salmonella Saintpaul with the same
genetic fingerprint have been identified in 42 states, the District of Columbia, and
Canada since April. With the increasing number of people reporting illnesses and
the expanded list of produce under investigation, more consumers are looking for
alternative solutions in produce, including growing their own produce at home.

Access Discounts offers a wide selection of residential lights, commercial lighting
and horticulture lighting sources such as LED Grow Master Grow Lights that aide in
the growth and development of produce and plants. Ensuring the growth quality,
produce that is organic, pesticide and bacteria free is handled best by individuals
growing their own produce.

\"Tomatoes have always been an ideal home grown produce and now more than ever is the
time to consider growing produce at home,\" stated Christina Roush, spokesperson for
Access Discounts. \"Between rising gas prices and salmonella scares, it\'s not only
more cost effective, but you can rest assure that the foods you grow will be
healthier alternatives to imported produce that is handled and exposed to a number
of types of bacteria, pesticides, fertilizers and other harmful substances,\" Roush
concluded.

Grow lights are available in different styles including LED lights, which provide
better color and improved light over comparable light sources as well as save energy
for both lighting needs and cooling costs. LED Grow Master grow lights use 33
times less energy than comparable metallic vapor lights. According to the EPA, this
savings is equivalent to planting a 1/2 acre of trees per year.

In addition to the health benefits of growing produce locally, grow lights reduce
energy costs and are safer to use around children and pets and have a far lesser
fire hazard. LED Grow Master Grow Lights are ideal for plants and help reduce the
chance of root damage. Made in the USA, all grow lights provided by
AccessDiscounts.us are of the highest quality. With discounted prices, shoppers can
benefit from not only the back end reduced costs provided by LED grow lights, but
they can benefit with the upfront savings the online retailer offers. Access
Discounts aims to provide customers efficient, effective and quality residential
lighting solutions. For more information on grow lights, please visit
