U.S. Lighting Tech Named to Prestigious "2011 Inc. 500 List"

U.S. Lighting Tech (www.uslightingtech.com), the leader in induction lighting systems, announced today that it was named by Inc. magazine to the prestigious "2011 Inc. 500 List." This marks the second consecutive year that USLT, which is based in Irvine-Calif., earned a spot in the exclusive "Inc. 500/5000" list, which recognizes the fastest growing, most innovative private companies in the U.S. Last year, USLT was ranked as the 6^th fastest growing manufacturing company in the annual "Inc. 5000." This year, the company was one of only 12 organizations in the "Inc. 500" Manufacturing category to be selected and profiled.

"It is a tremendous honor to be a part of the 'Inc. 500' and a testament to the incredibly hard work of the USLT team over the past year," said Richard Ham, president of USLT. "2010 marked an exceptional growth period for our organization. Even in a troubled economy, we have achieved an almost unprecedented 681% increase in sales over the past three years - and we've significantly expanded boththe volume and diversity of our client base. Most importantly, with each new client acquisition, USLT has shown the world why cost-efficient, eco-friendly induction lighting is truly the new 'gold standard' format for the commercial lighting category."

For more than 30 years, Inc. magazine has distributed its annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The coveted "500 List" showcases the accomplishments, creativity and tenacity of the nation's top entrepreneurs - something each of the honorees accomplished against the backdrop of a struggling global economy. It is a significant accomplishment for any organization to be recognized by Inc. two years in a row.

USLT has installed its induction products in 220 municipalities and cities, and is the first and only induction manufacturer in the world to already have over 125,000 street lights installed on streets and neighborhoods across the globe. USLT induction products outperform conventional lighting systems in terms of functionality, ROI value, maintenance and ease of installation. Because they are more energy efficient and eco-friendly than competitive technologies, USLT saves businesses and taxpayers tangible dollars, while also reducing toxic emissions that harm the environment.
