Trading Update

In its Interim Management Statement in November, the Dialight Board announced that growth in its ultra efficient Solid State Lighting products applying to high brightness LED technologies, continues to support the strong performance of the Group.

As a result of continued strong progress in the Group's Signals/Illumination business, in particular in Solid State Lighting, the Board is pleased to announce that Dialight will exceed market expectations for 2010.

On 4th January 2011 the Group completed the acquisition of 75% of Lightday Investments Pty Ltd its Australian distributor of ultra efficient lighting products. This company will trade as Dialight ILS and will serve the large industrial / hazardous / mining sector in Australia and further supports the Group's thrust into the industrial and hazardous lighting market with its ultra efficient lighting products.

The Board's continued confidence in the Group's excellent prospects is supported by the strong performance in 2010, the current level of order intake for its Signals/ Illumination business and by its accelerating growth in ultra efficient lighting.

The Group will publish its preliminary results for the 12 month period ended 31 December 2010 on 14 February 2011.
