A BRIGHT IDEA! Light bulb removes dust, germs and bacteria from homes David W. deMartino

The future of indoor air quality just got better. O-ZONE.Lite(tm) is a titanium dioxide-coated, energy efficient 23-watt light bulb that, when illuminated, results in the elimination of bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold, smoke and odors. Additionally, the bulbs last 8 times as long as a conventional bulb and uses a fraction of the electricity and over the life of the product will save over $50.00 in electrical costs, thus more than paying for itself. Unlike sprays and air fresheners that just mask odors, the O-ZONE.Lite actually eliminates them. "With this system, contaminants are destroyed rather than transferred," said University of Florida laboratory director, Yogi Goswami. "No toxic chemicals are employed. Allergy and asthma sufferers experience great relief once dust mites and mold spores are eliminated from the air they breathe," he said. deMartino introduced the bulb to the United States market in December 2003 and he says O-ZONE.Lite bulbs are all ready in great demand. "In just one day, we had over 300 bulb orders placed with us on line, and that's before we started to advertise," said deMartino. Studies posted to www.ozonelite.com provide data that shows that the titanium dioxide coated bulb is one of the safest and most effective ways to clean indoor air. In addition, titanium dioxide is widely used in other countries, including Japan, due to its bactericidal effects on strains of bacteria such as penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (staph infection) and Escherichia coli (E-coli).

The O-ZONE.Lite, the first of its kind, when illuminated produces what is called a photocatalytic action. It is this photocatalytic action that breaks down indoor airborne microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and mold into carbon dioxide and water, elements that are completely safe for humans and animals.

This is not a new technology, but this is the first time it has been applied to a properly balanced light source available for office or at-home use. The energy efficient light bulb can be used anywhere a standard incandescent light bulb is used and lasts 6,000 hours, or far longer than a standard incandescent light bulb. Yet, the bulb emits the equivalent light output of a standard 100 watt light bulb, and remains comfortable to the touch. O-ZONE.Lite helps by saving energy while cleaning up the environment. If the entire American public put just one O-ZONE.Lite energy saving light in their home it would be the equivalent of removing one million cars from the road. "I was skeptical at first," said allergy-sufferer Una Kohlman. "It was hard for me to believe that a light bulb can do this, but it does. The air is better. I don't sneeze as much and I definitely notice a positive difference in the odors." New homeowner Ann Maher says she had similar results. Her South Florida home smelled strongly of cigarettes, mold, and mildew from previous owners. "Cleaning the air vents didn't help," said Maher, who replaced four light bulbs in her home with O-ZONE.Lite. "I forgot that I had the O-ZONE.Lites in and one day I came home and the smell was completely gone. I've noticed a huge difference." Maher says has also noticed a significant improvement with her children's allergies. The 23-watt O*ZONELite(tm) retails for $39.95 each.

David W. deMartino, O-ZONE.Lite Chairman and CEO, is recognized as one of the leading experts on energy efficient lighting for homes and businesses. In 1995, he founded FutureLite 2000 which introduced to the U.S. market innovative and energy efficient lighting products. In December 2003, deMartino partnered with William C. Stone to distribute O-ZONE.Lite, the first light bulb to effectively eliminate germs and odors. The partnership has resulted in one of the fastest growing lighting air cleaning systems - the first in the U.S.
