1. ARKA LIGHTING
Rochester Institute of
Technology
LED Technology
• Our thermal solution has 50% greater heat dissipation
capacity than current commercial technologies
• This, in turn, delivers enhanced LED performance at
reduced cost.

2. AGENDA FOR ARKA LIGHTING
 Business Model with initial hypothesis
 Pass/Fail criteria
 Market Size
 Plan to get out of the building

5. MARKET SIZE
 Over 27% of the energy consumption in the
commercial sector is used for lighting

6. LED MARKET
 LED lamp and luminaire revenues are
expected to increase to $74 billion in 2020.
 CAGR for LED industry is >40% with LED
market penetration at 5% today

7. Confidential Information - Shared under
Existing NDA
SELECTED ADDRESSABLE MARKET
 Replacement lamps (general illumination)
 Global Installed base = 15 Billion sockets – All
of this is likely addressable
 ~350M * 0.5% LED = 1.75M * $40 = ~$7M
(current market size)

8. GETTING OUT OF THE BUILDING NOW…
 We’re talking to (some combination of):
 OEMS
 Architects
 Lighting designers
 Lighting Distributors
 Facility Managers (Stanford, RIT)
