School goes GREEN, The long struggling citizens received funds from the local
government to upgrade their facilities and in a revolutionary move, have opted for
the "Greener solution" and embraced LED light bulbs from GlacialTech.

21. October 2008 - Taipei, Taiwan, GlacialTech Inc - The increasing demands placed
on remote communities to upgrade and offer first rate educations to a community bent
on building something better has left an indelible impression at Lan-Yu Primary
School. This school found on tropical Orchid Island off the coast of Taiwan has
found what they consider the Green light answer. The long struggling citizens
received funds from the local government to upgrade their facilities and in a
revolutionary move, have opted for the "Greener solution" and embraced LED light
bulbs from GlacialTech, an emerging Taiwanese LED light manufacturer.

The Project
While many people would think about light bulbs last when given such a generous
grant from their government, the school's executive council has seen beyond
structural defects to something that corrodes their everyday existence; namely that
monthly electricity bill. In an attempt to bring down the soaring costs of
electricity consumption, they have installed over 600 LED-BR40 globes throughout the
premises. Their brand of choice: GlacialLight; a premium LED manufacturer with an
impeccable record. Well known for contributing to a similar project on the main
island of Taiwan, where a 20 KW electricity bill was reduced to a mere 4KW per month
just by changing to GlacialLight LED spotlights.

GlacialLight
GlacialLight, the new sub-brand of GlacialTech will leverage the GlacialLight
products to be better and higher in quality than competing products using high
quality heatsinks, specialized power units and Light Emitting Diode (LED)
luminaries, giving them longer life (in some cases excess of 50 000hrs) with higher
lumen throughout the lifecycle.

Advantages of LED compared to traditional lighting
While LED luminary technology is at its infancy, GlacialLight is at the forefront to
bring power savings to those in need. The motto of "Lighting you always" is
extremely apt since almost all LED lights are rated at 50 000hrs lifetime, many
thousands of hours more than regular and traditional light sources. LED lights offer
the following advantages and benefits compared to traditional globes (Filament) and
compact fluorescent Lamp (CFL) products, such as directional lighting, which is
ideal for torches (Flashlights) and spotlights. There are no starting problems in
cold environments because LED's are "Instant on" with no warm up time needed as seen
in conventional CFL lighting. In addition, LED lighting solutions do not contain
environmentally hazardous metals such as mercury or sodium and do not emit
potentially harmful Ultraviolet radiation or Infrared radiation like Halogen lamps.
Another benefit is the extremely long life cycle of around 50 000 hrs which lowers
maintenance costs in the long term. The GlacialLight LED product range offers
considerable power savings while extending long product life cycles under normal
conditions. The advantages of LED lighting adding to the lowering of the world's
carbon footprint cannot be underestimated. With GlacialTech's help, and the
Governments generosity, the Lan Yu Primary School has cut overall power consumption
on an island away from the main power grid and the forward thinking executive
council will reap the rewards for years to come.
