SATELLITE BEACH, Fla., May 14, 2012 — Lighting Science Group (OTCBB: LSCG), one of the world’s leading LED lighting companies, today joined Washington, D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray and officials from the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) and the Department of the Environment (DDOE) to celebrate the completion of the first phase of the relighting project that will save the city tens of thousands of dollars each year in energy costs. Part of the Mayor’s larger vision for a Sustainable D.C., Lighting Science Group’s energy-efficient, long-lasting street lights have replaced old, inefficient lights and will cut the District’s annual carbon dioxide emissions by 719 tons.

“Already results show these new light fixtures are saving energy—57 to 60 percent—compared to the old mercury vapor and high pressure sodium lights,” said Mayor Gray. “Imagine how much energy we could save if we expand this program to all 70,000 street and alley lights across the District. That would be a great down payment on a truly Sustainable D.C.”

Prior to the start of this project, in conjunction with Howard University Transportation Research Center, DDOT conducted a study and analysis of light emitting diode (LED) lighting products from a variety of vendors and manufacturers. The study involved the evaluation and analyses of photometric readings, fixture life, efficacy, aesthetics, color temperature, dimmability and compatibility with remote monitoring and control systems. At the conclusion of the Study, DDOT selected Lighting Science Group’s PROLIFIC™ (LSG) LSR-2 LED street light as the preferred choice to replace the District’s existing alley lights.

“When it comes to city planning, smart infrastructure saves lives and dollars,” said Jim Haworth, chairman and chief executive officer of Lighting Science Group. “The Mayor’s office, DDOT and DDOE are clearly united in their commitment to promoting both the safety and financial interests of District residents with their joint vision for a Sustainable D.C. Lighting Science Group is proud to play its part in bringing that vision to life. Our PROLIFIC Series roadway solutions offer notably longer-life expectancies than the District’s existing lights and real reductions in maintenance and energy costs. With less glare and better illumination, uniformity, and color, the new LED street lights signal a true improvement for the District.”

The District Department of Energy (DDOE) supported and funded the LED lighting project, under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficient and Conservation Block Grant program. Eventually DDOT plans to install energy-efficient light fixtures throughout D.C., including all of its alleys, streets, bridges, tunnels and underpasses, pedestrian walkways, bike and running trails.

Added Haworth: “The Washington, D.C. project is another significant win for Lighting Science Group in the infrastructure market, exemplifying the clear leadership and high-performance product capabilities of the Company.”

Today, I work with people who are ready to take charge of their future. Whether it’s buying a house, building a successful business or earning a degree, we have a better chance to accomplish our goals if we are willing to commit to a strategy to plan for them. Ultimately, planning is important for all of us to have flexibility and peace of mind. I know money can’t buy peace but you can’t have peace if you are constantly worried about the future of your hard earned savings.

Many individuals are choosing to leave their future to chance by investing money without having a purposeful strategy. This is like entering a major university and expecting to graduate without having a curriculum or a professor. Rather than aiming for a fixed amount of money to retire on, life is about managing change. As a Financial Advisor, I can build a customized plan tailored to your goals. Unless you have a plan, you may not be equipped to face the changes and challenges that are guaranteed to come your way.

I provide service to clients through Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc. During my free time, I can either be found surfing in Satellite Beach, attending worship at Calvary Chapel with my fiancé, or teaching the Empowerment Series at the YMCA. I recently started volunteering for the Indialantic Rotary Club and also enjoy helping coach the ladies of the Florida Tech Tennis team. I have a tremendous passion to serve others and that’s what drives me.

Teresa has a special place in her heart for older children who sometimes get lost in the shuffle. She fears that they often don’t have the support network necessary to be on their own.  It has become her personal mission to find opportunities to link young people with those who can provide them with guidance, love and support.  She recently engaged a committed group of volunteers to assist in realizing the dream of bringing vulnerable populations together in a mutually beneficial way.  This team is working to raise the funds needed to build the “Hacienda Home for Women”, an assisted living home for elderly women to be built on the CHS campus in Melbourne, adjacent to the Hacienda Girls Ranch.  The home will bring innovative ways to encourage intergenerational engagement in a safe setting for senior women who still have so much to offer teen girls and young women who can learn from them.

“What clients admire most about Lori is her ability to assess any crisis situation quickly and develop a strategy to protect their interests,” said longtime colleague and former newspaper reporter Robert Perez. “She’s able to do that because of her decades of experience counseling Fortune 50 clients and growing her own company. It’s impressive to watch her in action. What’s more, she has earned the respect of reporters worldwide. They know they can count on her for honesty, integrity and accuracy. In our arena, that’s a home run every day.”

Booker founded CBR Public Relations in 1984, which she describes as “first and foremost a media relations company.” She went on to earn both statewide and national accreditation for her expertise, a distinction awarded to less than 3% of her peers. She also studied at the Harvard-MIT Public Disputes Resolution program and did post-grad work at Columbia University. She is most proud of being the first public relations graduate of Rollins College, where she helped found the student FPRA chapter while serving as an adjunct professor.

Whether directing her company from the 6,000-square-foot lake-view office building she owns in Maitland or from CBR’s offices in the Imperial Plaza Building in Melbourne, Booker is always near water.  Not surprisingly, her favorite pastimes are slalom waterskiing and exploring the Spoil Islands near Ft. Pierce. “I get some of my best inspirations there.”
