The Luxeon Lamps are on display at Lightfair International taking
place in New York through Thursday of this week in booth 2219. The company's patented Luxeon Power Light Sources
are the first to combine the brightness of conventional lighting with
the small footprint, long life and other advantages of LEDs.

(Nasdaq: FBST) today announced the award of a patent for its new
Cloverleaf(TM) optical coupler that raises the efficiency of the Fiberstars
EFO lighting system to 50 lumens per watt., the potential reduction of energy
consumption would be 50 Billion kilowatt hours which would lead to 5 million
fewer tons of coal burned each year, and result in far less greenhouse gases
being created. The Company has additional
offices in California, New York City, England and Germany.

Industry-first off-the-shelf LED lamp solves color
matching and simplifies LED use

Lightfair International Lumileds Lighting today introduced new
color-matched white Luxeon(R) Lamps that enable lighting manufacturers
to quickly build LED-based luminaires with consistent white light for
the first time. Luxeon Lamps are
suitable for a wide range of luminaires including track, recessed,
display, cove, outdoor and other retail and exterior applications.

Advanced binning algorithms applied during
manufacturing ensure color uniformity within each fixture as well as
from luminaire to luminaire. And
because EFO ICE generates no heat in the freezer case, the energy load
requirements to keep the case cold are reduced, saving additional energy.
Approximately 30% of electricity consumed in US buildings is used for lighting
with most existing bulbs creating more heat than light.

Uniform white light is
essential in luminaires, but achieving a consistent color temperature
with LEDs has been a major challenge because of the wide color
variations inherent in the LED manufacturing process.

Delivers industry leading efficacy

Fewer LEDs to achieve the desired light output

Each lamp consists of multiple white Luxeon delivering correlated
color temperatures of 3200K (warm white), 4100K (commercial white) or
5500K (cool white). The matched Luxeon are mounted in multiple
configurations offering light output levels of 500-1200 lumens and CRI
similar to or better than conventional solutions.


About Lumileds Lighting

Lumileds Lighting is the world's leading manufacturer of
high -power LEDs and a pioneer in the use of solid-state lighting
solutions for everyday purposes including automotive lighting, camera
flash, LCD displays and televisions, portable lighting, projection and
general lighting. Web site: http://www. Actual results may differ
materially from the results predicted.

Each lamp can be integrated with drivers, heat sink and optics to
form complete lighting systems that deliver 1-2 year payback when
replacing incandescent and halogen luminaires. Typical halogen and incandescent
down lights deliver 7 to 15 lumens per watt. Fiberstars
disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements.

"This is more than a 15% improvement in Fiberstars EFO efficiency," said
Roger Buelow, Fiberstars CTO, "and is an example of Fiberstars' continuing
commitment to develop and perfect energy efficient lighting systems. Typically one 70 watt EFO lamp can reduce energy
consumption by more than 80% when compared to incandescent or halogen
solutions.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof.

lifecycle costs. Lumileds
also supplies core LED material and LED packaging, and manufactures
billions of LEDs annually.

The Cloverleaf optical coupler was designed
with the assistance of Optical Research Laboratory, the company that worked on
fixing the optics of the Hubble telescope , under a research project award from
DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Programs Agency). Fiberstars EFO also substantially lowers maintenance costs. 2,000 to 3,000 for incandescent lamps.

The Cloverleaf(TM) optical coupler, when used in Fiberstars' new EFO-
ICE(TM) system which lights frozen food cases in supermarkets, will generate
efficiency gains over standard and high output fluorescent lighting. Fiberstars' EFO system, introduced in 2004,
offers energy savings, heat dissipation and maintenance cost benefits over
conventional lighting for multiple applications. The Company's headquarters
are located at 32000 Aurora Rd.
