Press Release Body: Seattle--Destination Lighting continues to lead the industry in
energy efficiency by incorporating the LR6 Downlight, an LED-based recessed lighting
fixture, to its online store inventory.

"We are a green company that wants to help the country reduce its carbon footprint
on the environment," said Dave McKee, Destination Lighting's Chief Operating
Officer. "Destination Lighting proudly offers many energy-efficient products for
use inside and outside the home. With the LR6 Downlight, our customers can achieve
the same quality and dimming capabilities of a 65-watt light by using only 12 watts
of energy."

The LR6 Downlight, released earlier this year by LED Lighting Fixtures, Inc. (LLF),
offers people an environmentally-sound and cost-effective alternative to traditional
lighting products. With LED (light-emitting diode) technology, the fixture provides
strong illumination using 85% less energy than a conventional incandescent and 50%
less energy than a fluorescent. The product has a high color rendering rating,
easily installs in a standard 6-inch recessed housing, and has a lifespan of 50,000
hours, or 20 years of average use.

"Our introduction of a viable LED product for general illumination will have
historic implications for the lighting industry," said Neal Hunter, LLF Chief
Executive Officer. At this year's Lighting for Tomorrow energy efficiency
competition, the LR6 Downlight won the grand prize for solid state lighting (SSL).
"The fixture earned excellent marks for light output, quality and appearance," said
Kelly Gordon, an event organizer representing the U.S. Department of Energy.

By adding LLF's LED fixture to its product list, Destination Lighting will give
customers an innovative approach to lighting their homes. The company carries a
large inventory of lighting fixtures and accessories, including Energy Star(r)
products and other energy-efficient merchandise which meet California's Title 24
regulations. On the forefront of the green lighting movement, Destination Lighting
was awarded a Special Recognition of Excellence from the Environmental Protection
Agency in March 2007.
