Comprehensive Solutions Offer Convenience with Superior Results

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- July 16, 2007 -- Sharpics, Inc., a leading source for product photography, today revealed its line of enhanced Studio Lighting Kits, designed to offer cost-effective and easy-to-use solutions for achieving professional product photography images.

Sharpics' Compact Studio Light Kit (model LKT-92) and Clamp-on Overhead Light (model CLK-9) are built to ensure accurate product photography and bring out the true colors of the particular object being photographed. Sharpics' compact designs deliver ideal lighting placement for tabletop photography.

The company is proud to announce that it will also include two compact 30-watt fluorescent bulbs with the LKT-92 lighting kit, which provide the equivalent to a 240-watt incandescent bulb. The CLK-9 Overhead Light will feature one bulb. The compact fluorescent bulbs use 75 to 80 percent less power than equivalent incandescent bulbs, offering energy-efficiency, cooler temperature and longevity. The addition of these 'daylight-balanced' bulbs will also offer customers the ability to achieve lighting effects comparable to natural daylight.

"We understand that working under the heat of strong lights to achieve the perfect photo can be exhausting and uncomfortable," said Danica Mazon, co-founder of Sharpics. "We're thrilled to introduce the benefits of energy-efficient light bulbs to customers through our new lighting kits --which will allow for a much more pleasant experience especially when working with tabletop applications or in a small space like a home office. Our customers will now be able to easily adjust their lighting angles when working, without the fear of burning themselves!"
