LUXTECH's LED light engines have contributed to over 5B lbs of CO2 abated from the atmosphere. LUXTECH's award-winning Lightglass

CHOP has installed Lightglass in over 100 rooms and is now converting all windowless patient rooms to include Lightglass. LUXTECH is already in over 35 hospitals across the country and was recently named a design standard at Target.

LUXTECH is headquartered in Philadelphia and has a manufacturing plant in Boothwyn, with 98% of raw materials coming from
Pennsylvania. LUXTECH is currently raising a $2M convertible note with $1m soft circled. Contact Founder and CEO Sean Darras for info.

FEATURED READING Impact is the Metric Details: Profitability metrics are simple in financial terms, often measured by the rate of return, cash flow, or
