SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 2007--Lucifer Lighting Company--a premier manufacturer of low voltage lighting fixtures for high end applications--is to exhibit cutting edge products at the America Institute of Architects (AIA) 150th Anniversary Show in the "Push Button House", designed by architect Adam Kalkin. The exhibition will be at Booth 10291 at the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas from May 3-5.

Lucifer Lighting's booth at the AIA epitomizes the conference's "sustainable design" theme. The booth is an 8' by 20' shipping container, which has been converted into a "Push Button House" (PBH). The PBH has been exhibited at Art Basel in Miami and at the Deitch Project in New York City, and is currently being explored by groups such as FEMA as a possible answer to disaster relief housing. Please find attached a clip of the PBH in motion.

Light sources exhibited by the company include metal halide, light emitting diodes (LED) and compact fluorescent, all of which have been incorporated into sleek minimalist fixtures.

In addition to exhibiting at the show, locally headquartered Lucifer Lighting was selected for inclusion on the AIA tour as an exponent of Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design (LEED(R)) certification, as established by the US Green Building Council. With furniture, workspaces and other interior features designed by acclaimed design firm, Gensler, the company is pursuing the lofty goal of LEED(R) Silver rating. The office and manufacturing facilities are a remodel of what was once a plant for Pace Picante Sauce. This expected LEED(R) rating will be the first, to the company's knowledge, granted to an office manufacturing facility in America.

Gilbert Lang Mathews, Chief Executive Officer, said: "Lucifer Lighting looks forward to showcasing emerging lighting technologies in this major conference on sustainable design. The most exciting part of this event is engaging professionals in conversations which can lead to significant outcomes, unattainable in the absence of a unifying, themed national dynamic like this AIA conference. LED's as sources for light have traditionally been in instrument clusters in cars, back lighting for computer monitors, and in traffic signals. Now their time is here for focused, architectural lighting."

According to the Department of Energy, lighting comprises over 30% of energy used in commercial projects, and one quarter of the points for LEED(R) certification relate to lighting and attendant energy savings. LEED(R) certification cannot be fulfilled without establishing energy savings in lighting.

Lucifer Lighting is taking an active role as a sponsor of continuing education at the AIA Conference. Mathews is a participant at the panel discussion on Sustainable Lighting Technologies. In addition, Lucifer Lighting will be presenting continuing education seminars on Aspects of Sustainable Lighting Design, Residential Lighting and Lighting for Hospitality at the "Push Button House" during the conference.
