Tim Carter to Join Firefly Magic Firefly Lights Team in 2009

Los Angeles, CA, December 22, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Firefly Magic® Firefly Lights welcomes Tim Carter, inventor and patent holder of Disney like artificial fireflies.

Tim Carter, noted in the special effects arena for his unique and patented design of simulated moving fireflies, has joined the Firefly Magic® Firefly Lights team (www.FireflyMagic.com). Tim developed his unique moving firefly concept in the 1980's after having been familiar with the original fireflies at the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction since it opened in 1966.

Upon the completion of his development efforts, Tim was invited to present his concept directly to the Walt Disney Imagineering team in Glendale, California.
Subsequently he applied for, and received a U.S. patent for the design.

Recently, Tim had the opportunity to evaluate the newest and superbly accurate recreation of Mother Nature’s real fireflies, Firefly Magic® Firefly Lights.

Invented by Stephen Taylor, Firefly Magic® ‘Fireflies’ incorporate high technology micro processing and light emitting diodes to exactly mimic the flashing, flickering, and fading of real fireflies. So unique are these new ‘Fireflies’ that Taylor holds two patents on them, one for the method in which they recreate the look of real fireflies, and another for the uniquely designed ‘Firefly LED Light’.

Following Tim Carter’s evaluation of the new electronic ‘Fireflies’, he heartily agreed to enter into a multi-year endorsement agreement with Sigma Two Group LLC, manufacturer and distributor of the Firefly Magic® Firefly Lights product line.

Enthused with what he saw, Tim explained, “These new Firefly Magic® electronic ‘Fireflies’ amazingly capture the true essence of what we see with real living fireflies in nature. It's the adventure of the firefly hunt recreated in a very wonderful and fun way. I'm impressed. I’m also impressed with the simplicity and quality of design that allows virtually anyone to bring the magic of ‘fireflies’ into their own backyard or garden.”

Although Tim will primarily be involved with the marketing of the Firefly Magic® ‘Fireflies’, plans are also in development that may include collaborative efforts between Tim and Sigma Two Group LLC engineers to develop new technologies in the field of artificial fireflies.

Asked what this alliance may mean, Stephen Taylor responded, “This brings together the two preeminent inventors in the field of artificial firefly replication. We’re extremely gratified that Tim so strongly believes in our Firefly Magic® ‘Firefly’ product and that he wants to share their unique features and benefits with the public.”
