Potential Investor Pitch Deck.
Synergy Lighting Group--we put bright light in the right place.
Synergy Lighting Group designs, builds, and sells high-brightness lighting fixtures.
We use Topanga USA’s Electrodeless High Intensity Discharge ("plasma") light engine.
Having access to a technology is only one aspect of luminaire design, development, and
production. Synergy’s industry experience—with Electrodeless HID as well as other lighting technologies—combined with a practical lighting design background—gives us the ability to package and control all aspects of electrodeless HID technology.
Synergy puts its bright light in the right place.
Wherever illumination is needed--on the ground, or to a target—Synergy can optimize its bright light for best end-user outcomes.

2. What we do.
Synergy Lighting Group designs and builds energy-efficient and long-lasting lighting
fixtures for Industrial and Commercial applications. We specialize in replacing
standard 1000 Watt and 400 Watt interior and exterior fixtures with products that
last longer, need less maintenance, and consume up to 57% less energy.
4. Interior Market: High Bay Fixtures
We currently specialize in 2 markets: High Bay
(interior) and High Mast (exterior). Southern
California Edison estimates there are over 2 million
400 Watt Metal Halide High Bay fixtures in California
alone, and close to 40 million in the USA.
5. Interior Product: High Bay
Standard High Bay:
460 Watts
39 lbs.
Synergy High Bay:
235 Watts
19 lbs.
6. Interior Product: High Bay
Synergy HB400 is compact, light, and
installer friendly.
Typical uses:
manufacturing, warehouses, distribution
centers, basketball courts, gyms.
8. Exterior Market: High Mast
Prisons, Ports,
Railway Yards,
Highway
Departments,
Airports—most
use 1000 Watt High
pressure sodium
fixtures.

Exterior Product: High Mast
The reflector housing angle is
adjustable—so we can put bright
light in the right place.
Synergy’s high mast solution uses a
470 Watt single bulb system to
replace a standard 1000 Watt
fixture.
10. Exterior Product
At 37 lbs, it is lighter and more compact than legacy and LED products.
HPS: 55 lbs
LED: 65 lbs
5 different reflector
designs put the bright
light in the right place.
11. October 2015: one test pole with 12 Synergy fixtures
was installed on the US Border.
We provide a better quality of light and save energy.

We also provide better light to the border fence 900 feet away.
We are improving the security of the USA.
13. Business Model: CREATE/DELIVER value/ generate PROFIT
CREATE /DELIVER value/ generate PROFIT
1.) design an elegant fixture which fulfills a market need.
2.) source components from strategic partners
3.) manufacture the luminaire with lean and scalable best practices in mind
4.) generate revenue through direct and channel sales
5.) price for market and profit
6.) discover more opportunities
7.) create awareness of the product and technology
8.) duplicate past successes, learn from mistakes and improve.
14. Strategic Relationships
We have forged strong relationships with our supply chain
partners. We have established distribution and key clients in
Canada. We are establishing our distribution channel in Europe,
India and the Middle East. We have submitted our High Bay
product for National distribution though Grainger. We team with
SDB/DV/MWOB Partners for Federal and State Contracts. And we
are actively working with Department of Homeland Security, and
Southern California Edison Emerging Technolgies Group.
15. Competition
Part 1.
Competition within lighting systems: Old vs. New Systems
People are comfortable with the old technology and
are wary of new technology. LEDs get a lot of press,
but are a very small part of the total lighting market.
Synergy’s Plasma source combines the best
of both worlds. Synergy is Light—optimized.

20. Competition
Part 2
Competition within the Plasma Market: save the best for last.
We have the most value: in terms of efficiency, knowledge of technology, ability to innovate.
We have been learning many lessons from those who have launched before us.
We have been very deliberate in moving forward—but we feel NOW is the time to fully enter the market.
Our biggest challenge: market has lack of awareness that plasma technology is available.
