Exhibit 99.1

               FIBERSTARS(R) INTRODUCES EFO(R) 'DAYLIGHT' LAMP

    FREMONT, Calif., June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fiberstars Inc.
(Nasdaq: FBST) announced today that shipments will begin in July on a new
Daylight lamp for the Company's new energy saving lighting technology, EFO.

    The new lamp was showcased at two recent trade shows -- Lightfair
International 2005 in New York, and the Edison Electric Institute National
Accounts Spring 2005 Workshop in Las Vegas. The lamp, which features a light
spectrum that duplicates sunlight, was received positively by prospective
customers.

    The new Daylight lamp addresses the light color requirements of some
customers and lighting designers. It is expected to meet the demand for premium
white light and has a high Color Rendering Index, indicating its ability to
accurately render the color red. The new Daylight lamp will be sold as a
companion product to the existing EFO Warm White lamp providing customers more
choices in the application of EFO. The new lamp is believed to broaden the
marketing opportunities for EFO, especially in lighting clothing, cosmetics and
in other color sensitive environments, including museums and commercial
buildings.

    The Daylight lamp was beta site tested in the sea food department of the
Whole Foods Market(R) landmark store in Austin, Texas. The installation
increased the amount of light typically delivered by halogen MR16 lamps, and
reduced energy consumption by 72%.

    Fiberstars EFO is more energy efficient than halogen, other incandescent
lamps, compact fluorescent lamps and LEDs. It significantly reduces watts per
square foot without sacrificing light levels and helps meet lighting wattage
restrictions demanded by new energy regulations for commercial market new
construction and renovations.

    One EFO 70 watt lamp replaces up to eight (8) 50 watt MR16 halogen lamps --
an energy savings of over 80%. It can also replace (4) four 26 watt compact
fluorescent lamps, an energy savings of 33%, and 60 3-watt LED devices, an
energy savings of over 60%.

    To date, Fiberstars EFO has received $12.7 million in government R&D awards
from the Departments of Defense (DARPA), Commerce (NIST) and Energy (SBIRs). The
daylight lamp was developed as part of the DARPA project, which has as its goal
creating a robust, energy saving replacement for fluorescent tubes in Navy
ships.
