Ceravision & Dipolar Form Global Alliance to Take Ultra-Efficient Lighting Technology to Market

Milton Keynes, England (ots/PRNewswire) - The world-leading
plasma lamp technology developed by UK lighting company Ceravision
has been further enhanced through a joint development programme with
Swedish microwave engineering firm Dipolar AB.

The collaboration has produced a power supply that is
ultra-efficient, very cost-effective and allows the use of magnetron
technology with greatly increased lifetimes of at least 40,000 hours.

Walter Ronnblom, founder and Chief Executive of Dipolar AB, says:
"Our proprietary technology has many advantages over existing
approaches in terms of both cost and performance. Field trials have
exceeded our expectations and the technology is now ready for
market."

The development programme with Dipolar began in the summer of
2008 and the first products for the lighting system were delivered to
Ceravision's facility in early 2009.

Walter Ronnblom comments: "We have over 25 years of experience in
the field of electrodeless, RF-driven lighting technology. I believe
Ceravision has solved the outstanding problems that have historically
hindered this technology and continue to hinder alternative
approaches to this technology. As a result of Ceravision's completely
new way of producing light, we are delighted to have signed an
agreement allowing Ceravision exclusive access to our proprietary
power supply technology on a global basis."

For many years lighting companies have tried and failed to
perfect this technology, experiencing poor performance and
prohibitive costs. Tim Reynolds, CEO of Ceravision, adds: "The
benefits of our joint development programme cannot be underestimated.
Having proved the Dipolar technology over recent months, we are now
preparing to release the plasma lamp system to the global market. The
exceptionally positive response we have had from lighting companies
around the world, even before launching the technology, means these
are very exciting times for Ceravision."

About Ceravision:

Ceravision Ltd is recognised as being the inventor and leading
innovator in the field of ultra-efficient, RF-driven plasma lighting.
Ceravision's revolutionary lamp system has been developed for use in
a broad range of applications, using either solid state or magnetron-
based power sources. The Ceravision system can be scaled from 70
watts to 5 kilowatts and outperforms and replaces incumbent
technology in a number of fields including warehouse lighting, street
lighting and stadium lighting.

The Ceravision lamp is not just a single technology breakthrough
but a combination of technical innovations involving ultra-efficient
power systems, unique burner configurations and unique dose
combinations, backed by a wide-ranging intellectual property
portfolio. Further to this, systems have been designed with cost in
mind in order that volume markets can be addressed and the technology
is not limited to niche market applications.

Ceravision is based at Bletchley Park, 40 miles north of London,
the site of the historic code-breaking centre during the Second World
War where the innermost secret communications were deciphered.

About Dipolar AB:

Based at Skelleftea in north-east Sweden near the Arctic Circle,
Dipolar's team of skilled engineers develop power supply equipment
for major client companies such as UK water utility Severn Trent and
truck and auto manufacturers Scania and Volvo, among others.

The company was founded in 2005 by Walter Ronnblom, a mechanical
engineer with considerable expertise in electronics and software, in
order to meet the market need for a world-leading power supply for
microwave equipment.
