SmartCharge Pursuing Strategic Partners in New Markets Following Successful Licensing Effort in Consumer Retail Channel

Battery-powered, Innovative LED Light Ideal for Power Outages

MATTHEWS, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–With SmartCharge lighting technology successfully licensed to a
prominent lighting manufacturer and marketer in the consumer retail
channel, SmartCharge parent TVL International is moving next to vertical
markets such as the utility, security, and hospitality industries for
deployment of the unique lighting backup solution.

SmartCharge Light technology offers switch and grid sensor capability
that enables the switch to operate normally (on/off) even when the power
is out, providing up to four hours of backup light thanks to a built-in
battery in the bulb.

“TVL International developed the patented SmartCharge technology and is
pleased to confirm an exclusive license for consumer retail sales and we
encourage retailers to make certain they are working with properly
licensed manufacturers and distributors to offer bulbs with battery
backup,” said Shaliendra Suman, Founder & CEO of SmartCharge Light
parent company TVL International. “Any other similar bulb might be
infringing on our patent, which should be of some concern. We will
aggressively protect our intellectual property.”

In the consumer retail channel, SmartCharge technology is exclusively
licensed for retail deployment in the U.S. and Canada to Feit Electric,
one of the world’s largest lighting companies. Retailers interested in
the unique capabilities of SmartCharge should contact Feit, directly.

The SmartCharge LED Bulb looks like a normal light bulb from the
outside, but it has technology built inside to enable wall switch
control of the lights even when the power is out with no extra wiring
required. Winner of the 2015 Cleantech Open Global National
Sustainability Award, SmartCharge technology will work on all supply
voltages between 110V and 240V, so it can be used in any country in the
world. The consumer can also put the bulb in charge-only mode, where the
back-up battery is recharged without the bulb being lit. One wall switch
can now control multiple bulbs on a circuit, as well.
