St. Patrick's Day is Meant to be Green

February 16, 2008

Valentine's Day is over. Its still winter but St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner and this is a common bench mark in the journey toward spring. To me St. Patrick's Day is a time to celebrate the dieing days of winter and welcome (at least the idea of) spring. For most people St. Patrick's Day is about drinking green beer and parades. For the true Irish people the day is about celebrating the life of St. Patrick who was once the patron saint of Ireland.

Tips for using and installing rope light

February 9, 2008

There aren't many lighting products on the market that are as flexible as rope light. The interesting thing is not the many common uses that we've seen but the variety of new ideas our customers come up with for the rope light. In many cases, it is a great low cost alternative to expensive lighting fixtures that may require professional installation. Although not entirely novel, the latest use that I have heard about is bookshelf lighting. The rope light can easily be tucked away in the back of the shelve so that only the light is visible.

Three Kings Day and how to store your holiday lighting

February 8, 2007

The holiday season has come and gone. Although some people like to leave their Christmas lighting up year-round, for must of us its time to take the festive lights down if we haven't already done so.

In fact, I've read many articles recently about people complaining about those who keep their lights up too long. Apparently, there are some general rules of etiquette when...

Light the Way with LED Rope Light

January 29, 2008

Lighting is a slow developing technology. The incandescent lamp has been the standard and only option for more than a hundred years. A recent explosion in the development of energy-efficient lighting technology has created a whole new range of lighting solutions for the consumer. One principle application for lighting is for general way-finding illumination. This type of lighting is typically dim enough so that it does not entirely light the surrounding environment by is bright enough to provide persons in the area with sufficient light to see a...
