Trading Update: Dialight Announces Strong End to Year

On the 11th December the Dialight Board announced that it was confident that the Company would exceed its previous earnings expectations. Following a strong end of year performance, the Board is now confident that the Company will exceed these revised earnings expectations.

Principal reasons for this update are stronger than expected orders and sales at the end of December in Obstruction Lighting, European Traffic lights and the indication business. 

The Company will publish its preliminary results for the 12 month period ending 31 December 2009 on 3 March 2010.
