PureSpectrum, Inc. has contracted with international lighting veteran Ishwar
Jain to represent PureSpectrum Technology in India.
Jain, who has worked with CFL ballast technology since 1991, will represent
PureSpectrum Technology's CFL and linear fluorescent technology lines in
India. He currently represents, Surya Roshni Ltd., one of the largest
lighting manufacturers in India, and is the agent for one of France's
leading lighting engineers.
"This is an important step for PureSpectrum as we move to broaden the
exposure for PureSpectrum Technology," said PureSpectrum Vice President of
Sales Garth Kullman. "We are confident that Mr. Jain has the experience and
network of contacts to successfully represent this technology in India and
potentially in other parts of the world."
Jain worked at one time with Swiss inventor Daniel Mussli, who patented a
CFL design used for Sylvania's first CFL bulb, and in 1993 he managed a
transaction which resulted in the sale of ballast patents to Motorola
Lighting. His goal is to marry the most innovative, effective technologies
together in order to produce a cost effective CFL bulb which optimizes
energy efficiency and performance.
"The association with me and Surya Roshni for PureSpectrum Technology could
accelerate the technology transfer process globally and bring about a
definitive change in CFL ballast technology," said Jain, who also owns a
patent in the United States for a 15-watt Subcompact CFL bulb design.
"Ideally, these entities working together will make it possible to develop
and mass produce a CFL bulb which combines maximum light output and energy
efficiency with longevity in a recognizable shape that is comparable to
conventional light bulbs. The key will be finding a way to minimize the
manufacturing cost so that a goal of selling millions of bulbs per year
would be attainable."
PureSpectrum owns the rights to a family of patents and patent applications
related to a ballast technology which could improve the performance of
ballast-driven lighting applications. During the past year, the company has
successfully evaluated its proprietary circuitry in independent testing
performed on linear fluorescent and Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL)
applications.
