OUR MISSION STATEMENT
We improve lives through healthier lighting for cognizant customers.
OUR HISTORY
The founder of American Environmental Products, Mr. Bolta Bolta, is an international lighting expert and environmental consultant. He has worked on projects for NASA, MIT, Bechtel, Disneyland, General Mills, Sears, William McDonough + Partners and others. Mr. Bolta is past founder and president of what is now American Lighting, Inc. and has been working with lighting and electro-magnetics since 1973. Mr. Bolta holds a number of patents and trademarks in the lighting industry.
Mr. Bolta sold American Lighting in 1990 to free him up to pursue sustainable environmental lighting designs. Returning from a 5 year sabbatical, in 1995 established American Environmental Products, Inc. Since that time, has designed and filed over a dozen patents in environmentally correct lighting and extreme emergency lighting.
Mr. Bolta was recently moved by two major events, 9/11 and the effects of full spectrum lighting and electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) on children in classrooms.
Earlier research has shown a positive effect of full spectrum lighting and reduced electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) on children in the classroom. Therefore full spectrum designs in lighting coupled with reduction of EMFs became his pet project. A not-for-profit foundation for the benefit of improving the environmental impact on children in classrooms is in the works. (Please see Articles on Home Page menu).
9/11 struck and Mr. Bolta was working on some advanced full spectrum afterglow lighting for Trident Nuclear Submarines. Mr. Bolta had met the year before, the Chief of Technical Staff for the Pentagon building and had called him and asked him if he would like Mr. Bolta to work on designing extreme explosion proof lighting for the building. That inspired Mr. Bolta to develop a number of extreme emergency lighting designs to help save lives and enhance the rescue process.
On August 14, 2003 the largest power outage to hit America happened. Millions of people were affected and the use of these new generation extreme emergency lighting products showed their true value.
The development of new technologies is a great asset. The implementation and use of the technologies is a greater asset.

An Environmental Testimonial by Chief
Seattle in 1854
"The Great Chief in Washington sends word that he wishes
to buy our land!"
How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? Every
part of this Earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle,
every sandy shore, every mist in the dogwoods, every clearing, and
humming insect is holy in the memory and experience of my people.
The sap which courses through the trees carries the memories of
the Red Man…
We know that the White Man does not understand our ways. One portion
of the land is the same to him as the next, for he is a stranger
who comes in the night and takes from the land whatever he needs.
The earth is not his brother, but his enemy, and when he has conquered
it, he moves on. He leaves his fathers' graves behind and he does
not care.
He kidnaps the Earth from his children. He treats his mother, the
Earth, and his brother, the Sky, as things to be bought, plundered,
sold like sheep or bright beads. His appetite will devour the Earth
and leave behind only desert.
There is no quiet place in the White Man's cities…and what
is there to life if a man cannot hear the lonely cry of the whippoorwill
or the arguments of the frogs around a pond at night?
The air is precious to the Red Man, for all things share the same
breath--the beast, the tree, the man--they all share the same breath.
The White Man must treat the beasts of this land as his brothers…I
have seen a thousand rotting buffalo on the prairie left by the
White Man who shot them from a passing train. I am a savage and
I do not understand how the smoking iron horse can be more important
than the buffalo that we kill only to stay alive.
What is a man without the beast? If all the beasts were gone, man
would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens
to the beast soon happens to man. All things are connected.
Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the
Earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons
of the Earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.
This we know. The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to
the Earth. This we know. All things are connected …man did
not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever
he does to the web, he does to himself.
Continue to contaminate your bed, and you will one night suffocate
in your own waste. But in your perishing, you will shine brightly,
fired by the strength of the God who brought you to this land for
some special purpose--have you dominion over the land and over the
Red Man.
That destiny is a mystery to us, for we do no understand when the
buffalo are all slaughtered, the wild horses are tamed, the secret
corners of the forest--heavy with the scent of many men--and the
view of the ripe hills is blotted by talking wires.
Where is the thicket gone? Where is the Eagle gone? And what is
it to say goodbye to the swift pony and the hunt? The end of living
and the beginning of survival."
Spoken in 1854, this reply from Chief Seattle, leader of
the Suquamish Tribe, to the U.S. Government sums up the relationship
between Man and Earth.
