SUPER VISION ACQUIRES LAIDMAN LED TECHNOLOGY

Orlando, Florida: Super Vision International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUPVA) a world
leading manufacturer of fiber optic and LED lighting announced today that it
has acquired the LED technology prior art portfolio of inventor Jerry
Laidman of Henderson, Nevada. The Laidman technology includes Mr. Laidman's
pioneering design and production processes in 1978 related to his Saturn I -
IV LED lighting systems capable of generating multiple variable colored
lighting effects using pulse width modulation to control intensity. These
systems were the first known to be designed, manufactured and sold
commercially incorporating multiple LEDs to generate color changing light in
lighting fixtures worldwide. Mr. Laidman has served as Founder and
President of The Sound Chamber, one of the premier nightclub and discotech
lighting designers and manufacturers in the 1970's and 80's. The Sound
Chamber sold and rented the Saturn LED lighting fixtures to several
nightclub venues including the Baby-O nig
htclub in Acapulco, Mexico and The City nightclub in Boston. The Saturn
lighting system was also exhibited at the Billboard Disco show in 1980. Mr.
Laidman is now associated with LED, Inc. of Henderson, Nevada.

Jerry Laidman stated "I am pleased that these early developments are finally
getting the recognition they deserve. My intention in working with Super
Vision is to open my early work to many companies who now see the potential
of LED lighting applications in many display and illumination markets. My
hope is that Super Vision will utilize these designs, applications and trade
secrets responsibly in making them available to all industry manufacturers
on a fair and open basis."

"Jerry Laidman is a true pioneer in our industry" commented Brett Kingstone,
President of Super Vision. "His work in 1978 formed the foundation of the
processes and applications employed in the LED lighting industry today. We
are pleased that he has chosen to transfer this technology to Super Vision
and we will honor Mr. Laidman's desire to see that this technology is made
available to the vast majority of the manufacturers in our industry that
desire to see a free and open market which will encourage accelerated growth
in LED lighting."
