LIGHTING SCIENCE NEW SNR DIR. OF RETAIL SALES

Lighting Science®, a global leader in next-generation LED lighting solutions, today announced the appointment of Jon Brody as Senior Director of Retail Sales. Brody comes to Lighting Science following senior positions at consumer electronics leaders Binatone (a licensee of Motorola) and Jawbone. In his new role, Brody will assume responsibility for expanding the company’s retail channels nationwide.
“Lighting Science has a long history of bringing technologically-innovative lighting products to market,” said Lighting Science Chief Executive Officer Ed Bednarcik.  “We invest heavily in research and engineering with nearly 400 lighting technology patents as a result.  We’re excited to bring on a high-caliber retail leader like Jon Brody to help Lighting Science find new markets for our truly differentiated consumer products, such as our HealthE™ lighting series and the recently released Durabulb™.”
According to Bednarcik, the company’s patent-protected HealthE lighting series was originally developed with NASA to help regulate circadian rhythms for astronauts serving on the International Space Station.
“Light’s impact upon human, animal and plant biology is actually very profound,” said Bednarcik.  “By scientifically-engineering light spectrum, we can create unique lighting solutions capable of delivering a broad range of biological benefits, ranging from improved sleep to performance enhancement.  With Jon’s help, we look forward to being able to make these benefits available to a broader range of consumers in the near future.”
“Over the past year, I’ve seen increasing awareness of the biological impact of light on health and wellness and on the environment,” says Brody. “The opportunity to forge new retail partnerships and present these innovative products to a broader market is a strategy that goes beyond product sales—it’s about equipping more consumers with lighting solutions that can positively impact their lives and the lives of their families.”
