Cyberlux Corporation Invited to Participate in National Guard Disaster
Response Exercise with BrightEye Tactical LED Lighting Systems
Vigilant Guard Event to Simulate a Major Earthquake, Terrorist Disaster with
over 2,000 First Responder Personnel from 11 States

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today,
Cyberlux Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CYBL) announced that the Company has
been requested by the National Guard to participate in the Vigilant Guard 2008
Disaster Response Exercise in Beaufort, South Carolina from April 21st through
April 24th. The Vigilant Guard event is designed to simulate the chaotic
aftermath of an earthquake or terrorist attack and will include 50 specific
missions designed to test emergency response, search and rescue, evacuation
and distribution of goods capabilities. Cyberlux will deploy a team of its
specialists to operate the BrightEye 4M Tower Illumination Systems and the
BrightEye Dual Lighthead Tactical Illumination Systems to provide rapid set-up
and "stadium-bright" lighting capability during the various exercises.
Over the last two years, Cyberlux has worked with select National Guard
units and the National Guard Bureau to refine the capabilities of the Cyberlux
portable visible and night-vision compatible illumination systems for general
mission tactical lighting, disaster first response, force protection,
maintenance lighting, expeditionary base protection and other rapidly
deployable high-intensity lighting applications. Participation in the
Vigilant Guard 2008 event, along with over 2,000 National Guardsmen from 11
states, is a continuation of the customer/manufacturer solutions-oriented
relationship Cyberlux has developed with the National Guard.
In December, the National Guard Bureau ordered BrightEye Dual Lighthead
Illumination Systems as a tactical lighting solution for the 17 CERFP
(Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and High-yield Explosive
Enhanced Response Force Package) teams that stand ready across the U.S. for
emergency response deployment. The CERFP teams are composed of four mission
elements - search and extraction, decontamination, medical, and command and
control - and staffed by personnel from already established National Guard
units. The 17 CERFP teams are aligned with the 10 FEMA regions and mobilize
when an incident occurs within a team's response area.
"We are particularly honored by the National Guard's request to
participate in the Vigilant Guard 2008 event and look forward to demonstrating
the level of lighting capability and field performance our BrightEye Portable
Illumination Systems will provide to this important National Guard training
exercise," said Mark Schmidt, president and chief operating officer for
Cyberlux. "With the BrightEye already deployed to CERFP teams, we anticipate
ongoing BrightEye needs within the National Guard, and the Vigilant Guard
exercise will further demonstrate the unparalleled tactical lighting
capability of our products. Over the last year, we have made important
progress with our Military and Homeland Security customers, including the U.
S. Air Force and National Guard, and the Vigilant Guard demonstration is the
next step in having our BrightEye tactical lighting solutions deployed within
the broader scope of National Guard operations."
The National Guard provides each State with units trained and equipped to
protect life and property, and provides the Nation with units trained,
equipped and ready to defend the United States and its interests around the
world. As training events like Vigilant Guard 2008 will confirm, the National
Guard requires rapidly deployable portable covert and visible lighting systems
for disaster response preparedness, homeland defense operations, border patrol
support and global military deployments.
The BrightEye Portable Illumination Systems are designed as visible and
night-vision compatible illumination system for mission-critical tactical
lighting requiring rapidly deployable, high-intensity lighting capability.
Using advanced optics, advanced solid-state lighting technology, and light-
weight advanced battery power, all contained in easily transportable wheeled
cases, the BrightEye Systems are capable of eliminating the space-consuming
bulk, noise and energy consumption of the current generator-powered
incandescent lighting systems. Unique to the marketplace, the BrightEye
Systems provide broad area visible white lighting and night-vision compatible
IR lighting capable of operating all night on an advanced battery power
system, capabilities not available in traditional lighting systems.
The BrightEye Systems are available through the General Services
Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule 56 for Specialty Lighting
products under Cyberlux GSA Contract GS-07F-9409S.
