RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cyberlux Corporation, (BULLETIN BOARD: CYBL) , a leading provider of LED lighting solutions, announced today that the Company has received an invitation from the Boeing Intelligence & Security Systems Division to attend the Secure Border Initiative (SBInet) supplier briefing scheduled for May 22, 2008 in Washington, D.C.
In September of 2007, Cyberlux was awarded the SBInet Toolkit Supplier Contract to supply the BrightEye Portable Visible and Covert 10 Meter Tower Lighting System as part of the SBInet's mobile command infrastructure. The Company is one of only two lighting companies, and the only solid-state LED lighting solutions company, to be awarded the SBInet Toolkit Supplier Contract for portable lighting. In November, Cyberlux fulfilled the first system order from The Boeing Company associated with the SBInet deployment plans for the Mexican and Canadian borders.
"We are pleased to be included in the upcoming Boeing supplier meeting and look forward to learning more about the SBInet deployment schedules in the course of the discussions. Cyberlux provides powerful tactical lighting systems that are designed as energy-efficient, highly portable covert and visible lighting solutions, which are ideal for securing hostile environments such as our borders," said Mark Schmidt, president of Cyberlux. "With the recent acceleration in the deployment of the BrightEye and WatchDog products within the USAF and National Guard organizations, our tactical lighting systems have far-reaching capabilities and implications for the replacement of heavy generator-based lighting systems currently in use by the U.S. Armed Forces and most commercial contractors today," continued Schmidt.
Recently the Company reported that the USAF has committed $5.5 million of the Fiscal Year 2008 Department of Defense Appropriations legislation containing $8 million to equip the United States Air Force with the Company's Portable Illumination Systems. The remaining $2.5 million in appropriations will be allocated within other USAF commands during Fiscal Year 2008 which ends September 30th.
Cyberlux Corporation holds General Services Administration (GSA) contract GS-07F-9409S under the Federal Supply Schedule 56 for Specialty Lighting products.
