HONG KONG--(Marketwire - February 10, 2009) - Lightscape Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: LTSC), an
operator of LED out-of-home billboards and provider of LED solutions, today
announced it has begun selling advertising on its network of out-of-home
media properties. Lightscape has also engaged LIME, a diversified media
conglomerate, as a sales representative for its out-of-home media network
in Greater China.
The first 6 LED out-of-home advertising billboards, scheduled to go live in
March, are in 5 separate locations:
-- Shenzhen Century Plaza Hotel, Shenzhen, China
-- Shandong Hotel, Jinan, China

lifestyle and personal grooming products company. The company will be using
Lightscape's network to advertise its hair product line throughout Greater
China. These advertising contracts are for an average of 280 30-second
spots per week.
Bondy Tan, President and CEO of Lightscape, commented, "We are delighted to
partner with LIME and are especially pleased to provide them, and their
customers, the LED
out-of-home experience in Asia. At a time when most media and their
audiences are increasingly fragmented, Lightscape's
out-of-home LED billboard network offers advertisers and brand owners a
clear, focused return on investment. We understand that the relationships
among brands, customers and media are undergoing dramatic changes and that
advertising platforms like ours represent a tremendous opportunity."
"LIME is pleased to partner with Lightscape, a company that has firmly
established itself as a widely respected Asian and global market leader in
the rapidly evolving area of LED technologies," said Tommy Yip, Director at
LIME. "We believe leveraging Lightscape's LED billboard opportunities, at
these key locations in China and Hong Kong, LIME will capture the enormous
potential that the out-of-home LED advertising market offers our
customers."
Lightscape's expanding and cost-effective LED billboard network is an
attractive choice for advertisers to help bring their sales messages to the
widest possible number of potential customers. With LED advertising
billboards being installed at premium spots in Beijing, Hong Kong and other
major Chinese cities, Lightscape's network is well positioned for expansion
in this growing market.
