Brite-Strike Tactical Illumination Products, Inc. Receives Solar Product Patent and Target to Host First North American Guitar Hero(R) World Tour Challenge at E for All Expo

City of Industry, CA --(www.USEquityNews.com)-- 10/06/2008 - Consumer Goods industry alert provided by U.S. Equity News. Brite-Strike Tactical Illumination Products, Inc. (Other OTC:BSTI.PK) announced recently that it and Glenn Bushee, President of the Company, were awarded US Patent No. 7,350,692, for a Solar Powered Mailbox/Driveway Lamp. The product, the first commercial product the company has developed which utilizes LED lighting powered exclusively by small solar panels, will be introduced in 2009. The Company plans on developing and distributing products which have the potential to revolutionize the use of LED lighting in this country, through a wholly owned division, Brite-Strike Technologies. "This product will be our first entry that marries the energy efficiency of LED light with the portability of solar," said Glenn Bushee, President of Brite-Strike. "The technology we developed for our revolutionary tactical flashlights has direct applications for many lighting applications, as we can produce a light far brighter than those currently available in the marketplace. LED lights only use 5% of the equivalent energy of incandescent lights, with almost no heat, so developing products utilizing this technology can make major inroads in cutting energy consumption in this country. Our first product will be of the highest quality, and will function as a driveway lamp with mailbox light, address number lights, and an optional motion-activated light with camera-all powered by solar, with no external wiring required. It will offer incredible value for the consumer. We have other more significant products which we are working on, which will be announced in the weeks to come," said Mr. Bushee.


Shares of wholesale clubs held their gains Friday after the House approved a $700 billion bailout bill. The plan involves buying distressed mortgages and securities backed by mortgages from banks and other institutions to shore up the financial industry. The 263-171 vote came after the House rejected an earlier version of the bill on Monday. The Senate approved a revised bill on Wednesday that added tax breaks and increased the limit on federal deposit insurance. Shares of companies such as Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQGS: COST) and BJ's Wholesale Club Inc. had risen in early trading Friday as investors anticipated the legislation that many hope will help relax a credit crunch, stabilize the markets and restore confidence in the economy. Like the broader market, shares of these retailers showed mild improvement following the House vote. Shares of BJ's rose 63 cents, or 1.64 percent, to $38.99 following the vote. Shares of Costco rose $3.02, or more than 5 percent, to $64.94 in afternoon.

Aspiring rock stars from across the continent will soon be flocking to compete for fame and fortune in a Target(R)-sponsored first-ever North American Guitar Hero(R) World Tour challenge at this year's Entertainment For All(R) Expo (E for All(R)), which takes place at the Los Angeles Convention Center from October 3-5. Four-person teams will rock out to a list of the game's hit tracks, from the Beastie Boys to Modest Mouse, for the chance to win1 over $2000 in cash, Target GiftCards and merchandise. "In the spirit of E For All, Target (NYSE: TGT) will be giving consumers an early look at Activision's highly-anticipated Guitar Hero World Tour videogame before it hits store shelves on October 26," said Mark Schindele, SVP, Target. "E for All is a great opportunity for us to connect with an audience who may not think about Target as the first place to buy their games." E For All attendees who wish to showcase their Guitar Hero(R) skills at the Target tournament and compete to be called the ultimate virtual rock star can enter by signing up on Friday or Saturday at the show and rocking out in the preliminary rounds with the goal of taking the stage in Sunday's big final at 1 p.m. Winners and attendees alike can spend some of their hard-earned cash on a Nintendo Wii or popular games like Guitar Hero(R): Aerosmith at the on-site Target pop-up retail store.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc (NYSE:WMT) launches a handful of convenience-sized grocery stores this weekend to stake its claim in an industry experimenting with smaller store formats. On October 4, Wal-Mart marks the official opening of four Marketside stores in the Phoenix area. The retailer, which operates more than 3,630 namesake U.S. stores, has downplayed their importance -- saying they are just a test. Wal-Mart's U.S. stores rang up $239.53 billion in sales last year and Sanford C. Bernstein retail analyst Uta Werner said in a research note that any Marketside roll-out "would be only modestly incremental to the company's results." But Wal-Mart is taking steps now to protect its future market share, analysts said.
