COME JOIN US

Thank you for your interest in our company and in owning

a piece of this rapidly growing market for LED

Lighting solutions! LED Source® already holds a strong lead in the market for LED products and solutions. This is, in large part due to our team’s commitment to quality products plus a little bit of overachieving. Our level of LED knowledge, in addition to our supplier relationships and big league pre-sale client “LEDucation” then after-sale customer support, has brought us to where we are today. In the past couple of years as a franchisor, we have managed to tackle every challenge and now have a rapidly growing group of franchisees. A few of those are on their way to opening second locations as we speak!

Our initial franchise training then continual product and application education, plus fanatical development of our franchisees

is what will take us to the next level. Every day we break new ground in the franchising world. In fact, simply by announcing the First and Only LED Lighting franchise system we changed franchising forever. However, instead of resting on exclusivity in the market, we will do everything we can to send our franchisees into the market each and every day with the best products, tools and knowledge of the retrofit lighting market than any other business currently operating outside of manufacturing. Not to mention, the industry’s leading brands and competitive pricing.

Please take your time in reviewing our materials, our website, and more importantly, perform your own due-diligence. I think you will

end up very excited and will take the next steps towards becoming an LED Source® franchisee and part of our valued team.

Best Wishes,

Marcel Fairbairn, President and CEO

“I am so very excited that LED Source® has provided this opportunity to me.” Mark Etcovitch

EXPLOSIVE GROWTH MARKETLED Source® has positioned itself ahead of the growth curve of this rapidly expanding market. Fueled by the need to reduce energy consumption, financial costs, the U.S. Government’s initiative to ban all incandescent bulbs by 2014, and the Green Movement, the LED lighting industry is set for critical mass adoption.

While the LED lighting industry is roughly only 10 years old, according to McKinsey & Company report, projections reveal that in 2020 the global lighting market will have revenues of approximately $145 billion and LED lighting will account for $86 billion or 60%.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), by 2030, widespread use of LED lighting in the United States could save:

• Approximately 300 terawatt-hours of electricity

• Equivalent annual electrical output of 50, 1,000 megawatt power plants

• Approximately $250 billion at today’s energy prices

• Greenhouse gas emissions by 210 million metric tons of carbon

FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE

LED Source® Pro franchisees will have access to retrofit LED product and sales channels. Pro franchisees are not required to have a lighting background and will receive training to enable them to provide retrofit LED solutions to their commercial clients. Our LED Source® Pro franchisees will offer a complete package to commercial clients ranging from restaurants and hotels to warehouses, schools, shops and virtually any business who uses lighting. We also offer an AG (Advanced Group) channel access, but only to prospects or existing franchisees with the qualifications to serve architects, architectural lighting designers or specifiers on complex lighting or pre-construction projects. These clients may require additional expertise that comes through training and years of experience.

LED Source® currently only offers our Pro model, but will soon add the LED Source® Home Team franchise that will focus exclusively on residential LED sales. Through our system, these franchisees will be trained to educate homeowners on the benefits of LED lighting and will offer LED lighting with better quality and knowledge than other provider available to the homeowner.

We’ve already sold some regions and key cities, however, many great markets are still available. Contact us immediately for further details on joining this unique and exciting opportunity. Lets ride this wave together and change the world at the same time.
