| NEXXUS LIGHTING TO PRESENT AT CANACCORD ADAMS 29TH ANNUAL GLOBAL GROWTH CONFERENCE IN BOSTON |
CHARLOTTE, NC, August 10, 2009 – Mike Bauer, President and CEO of Nexxus Lighting, Inc. (NASDAQ Capital Market: NEXS) will present at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 12, 2009 at the Canaccord Adams 29th annual Global Growth Conference in Boston.
The conference is one of the oldest and largest programs showcasing publicly traded and privately held growth companies. The three-day conference will feature innovative small and mid-cap growth companies from the U.S., Canada and the UK.
The conference will be held August 11th through the 13th and will take place at the InterContinental Hotel in Boston. In addition to Nexxus Lighting, other companies presenting at the event include Microsoft, Sysco, Walgreens and WebMD.
Nexxus Lighting is a leader in advanced lighting technology, including solid-state LED and fiber optic lighting systems and controls used in commercial, architectural, signage, swimming pool, entertainment and retail lighting. Nexxus Lighting sells its products through its Commercial Lighting, Lumificient and Nexxus Lighting Pool & Spa divisions under the Array™ Lighting, Savi®, eLum™, LiveLED™, Super Vision® and Lumificient™ brand names.
Nexxus introduced a new line of state-of-the-art LED replacement light bulbs earlier in the year and will showcase the new Array™ Lighting products in its presentation. Now, with thirty issued patents and forty combined U.S. and foreign patent applications pending, the value proposition created by Nexxus’ innovative Selective Heat Sink (SHS) technology and patented designs provide the market with significant savings in energy and maintenance costs without compromising the environment.
Array™ Lighting LED replacement lamps can reduce energy consumption by over 80% compared to incandescent lamps and can save as much as 25% on energy vs. compact fluorescent (CFL) lamps. In addition, Array™ LED lamps last over 50,000 hours as compared to only 1,000 to 2,000 hours for incandescent and 6,000 to 10,000 hours for CFL lamps and, unlike CFL lamps, Array™ LED lamps do not contain mercury or lead and are RoHS compliant.
The focus of Canaccord Adams' conference is to bring institutional investors "some of the most interesting and intriguing ideas from a growing global universe of small and mid-cap companies," according to the financial services firm.
Accompanying Mr. Bauer at the event will be Chief Financial Officer, Gary Langford.
