Press Release Summary: Maxxeon Inc. announces the introduction of a pocket-sized
penlight with the performance of a full size professional flashlight.

Press Release Body: OTTAWA, CANADA Maxxeon Inc., Canadian manufacturer of portable
work shop lighting tools has announced the release of the WorkStar 220, a high
performance penlight style inspection light .

According to John Schira, Director of Business Development for Maxxeon Inc., "the
WorkStar 220 is a breakthrough in lighting performance, giving the user a brilliant
source of white light, up to twenty times as bright as other penlights. This
lighting tool raises the bar and sets a completely new standard for lighting
performance in a compact tool that clips into the user's pocket."

The tool uses the new HPLighting Rambo(tm) LED to provide up to 70 lumens of light, an
amount of light that was only available until recently from much larger and heavier
professional use flashlights. The LED features a life expectancy of over 50,000
hours and according to the company spokesman is virtually unbreakable.

The penlight is six inches overall and weighs one ounce and is designed to clip into
the user's pocket, to be readily available whenever needed. The body is constructed
from T6 annodized aluminum, and the joints are o-ring sealed to prevent penetration
by fluids. The light is operated by a tailcap switch that the company rates at
100,000 cycles and is sealed to prevent contamination by dirt and grit.

The tool was designed for daily use in demanding environments such as repair shops
by technicians, maintenance , quality control and field service personnel.

The WorkStar 220 inspection light has a suggested retail price of $29.99, includes
batteries, and includes a one year warranty.
