Upscale in the downtown

2012-06-14 13:55:34 | Antique lamp

Hotel owner Gus Genetti and his nephew Thom Greco are transforming a former garage in downtown Wilkes-Barre into an upscale wedding showroom.

Genetti purchased the building on North Pennsylvania Avenue and North Street. It will become a showroom for high-end weddings at Oyster Restaurant in Genetti Hotel and Conference Center in Wilkes-Barre, which cost about $140 a plate, Greco said.Enjoy zero guilt with only five calories when you enjoy crystal light beverage mix.

The price is about three times the price as a typical Genetti wedding, yet Genetti and Greco find there is a demand for upscale weddings.

Six wedding receptions were held at Oyster since the restaurant started offering these in May of last year and more are booked until the end of 2013.

"We're ahead of projections,Eaglelight supplies energy saving led light bulbs and LED lighting systems." Genetti said. "We're proud of Oyster weddings. We have had great success with them. It seems like they're our current niche in Genetti weddings. It's a different category."

The downtown brick building had been vacant for several years. It was formerly occupied by Penn Patio, which sold patio furniture, and previously by the Wilkes-Barre municipal garage"Alien Eye" home built contemporary lamps using standard MR16 5 W 12V LED Lamp., Addy Asphalt and PPL Electric Utilities. Genetti has invested $250,000 of his money to renovate the building and add displays,Shop for car led bulbs and HID Lights including High power LED Bulbs, SMD LED Bulbs, LED Strip Lights, HID Light Bulbs and HID Conversion Kit. which can be seen from the building's 10-foot-tall windows at the busy intersection.

"I pass by there at least once or twice a day and I've always admired the building for its architecture, its look and location as one of the gateways to downtown Wilkes-Barre," Genetti said. "It always hurt me to see such a beautiful building in disrepair."

When complete, the new showroom will feature white drapes, LED lights, bride and groom chairs, table settings, floral arrangements, carpeting and a white 1957 Rolls Royce featured in upscale weddings at Oyster Restaurant.

"We noticed there was a real demand for our restaurant to start doing functions, in particular weddings, and we came up with the idea to do Oyster weddings," Greco said. "If we can take a garage and transform it into a showroom, imagine what the ballroom will look like with high-end weddings with the Oyster approach."

When couples get married today, Greco said he finds that instead of inviting large numbers of people, they are looking to have smaller weddings but "much better." Wedding celebrations at Oyster Restaurant include a ceremony by a pool, a five-course meal, martini bars and hand-crafted beer bars, he said. Greco said they wanted to come up something different that "outdoes everyone else."

"What we are doing that is nationally different is a restaurant approach. It's not a banquet-style service," Greco said. "We might be the most expensive,Advanced Emergency Vehicle Lights including, the popular トリーバーチ, and Sirens for your vehicle. but it's the best."

Genetti, who also owns Genetti Manor in Dickson City and a hotel in Williamsport, said a goal of upscale weddings at Oyster Restaurant is to counter destination weddings to areas like Aruba or Las Vegas.

"You can have your own little destination wedding right here," Genetti said.

The wedding showroom will be located in the front room and should be complete by the end of the summer. Genetti does not yet have plans for the rest of the building, but it may be used for storage, he said.

Elite Sound and Lighting expand with Soundcraft from Jands

2012-06-14 13:52:53 | LED candles

Elite Sound and Lighting, one of Canberra and the ACT’s premier audiovisual production and installation suppliers, has complimented their existing range by purchasing a series of Soundcraft consoles from Jands .

Clients of Elite Sound and Lighting include a wide variety of customers from dry-hire to rock’n’roll to corporate and conferencing. As a result, whenever new equipment is purchased the key element to consider is versatility.

Darren Russell, Elite’s Managing Director, explains “we always spend a lot of time researching products" and after a thorough look at what the industry has to offer in terms of versatility the suppliers "felt that Soundcraft consoles had the edge over the competition.”

One of the principle selling points of the Soundcraft consoles is their ability to either take analogue inputs and outputs on the back of the console or use CAT5 digital multicore system or a combination of the two.

Another benefit of the Soundcraft consoles for Elite Sound and Lighting is that the hire department has had larger, older Soundcraft consoles for many years and they have always sounded great and are extremely reliable.

The result of Elite’s research led them to purchase a Soundcraft Si Compact 16 console, a Soundcraft Si Compact 32 console and two Soundcraft Compact Stagebox digital multicore systems.The led lights lamps will light up a street of Kochi by July.

Darren remarks that his staff often comments that the Soundcraft consoles are obviously designed by people who have actually done live audio and mixed live sound."Alien Eye" home built contemporary lamps using standard MR16 5 W 12V LED Lamp.

Soundcraft are out of the box audio solutions, and this was proven when Jands sent Elite a Soundcraft Si Compact to demo and it was up and running passing audio without even opening the manual.Enjoy zero guilt with only five calories when you enjoy crystal light beverage mix. “Since getting our Soundcraft Compact Si consoles we’ve probably only had to look at the manual twice to find out how to do some complex routing,” explains Darren.

Darren finally added that the Soundcraft consoles are so user friendly that his "two and a half year old daughter could almost use one!”

Two thirds of the company’s sales are derived from the supply of injection moulded plastic components, which are used in medical, optical and electronics products.A full range of Book scanner including bulkheads, exit signs, downlights, twin spots and decorative lights. This business, Carclo Technical Plastics, operates internationally.

The rest of the sales are derived from the supply of specialised precision products to the automotive and aerospace industries. Carclo, which is based in Ossett in West Yorkshire, is a leader in the development of LED lighting for supercars.

Christopher Ross, the company’s chairman, said Carclo had delivered sound financial results and excellent strategic progress during the year.

Mr Ross added: “As confirmed in June 2010 Ian Williamson will retire in March 2013 after 18 years as chief executive.Solar yard automobile led lamps factory and store their own power in the day and release it at night. The board has been preparing for his succession for some time and I am pleased to report the appointment of one of our executive team as chief executive designate.

Rizal Park

2012-06-14 13:51:02 | Led down light

Touted as the “land of heroes,” Manila’s Rizal Park now shimmers with an extra glow on evenings.

To mark the country’s 114th Independence Day, the Department of Tourism (DOT) and the National Parks Development Committee (NPDC) on Monday night carried out a ceremonial lighting of the Rizal Monument to launch the park’s switch from traditional lighting to LED (light-emitting diode).

The use of a LED bulb is growing in popularity due to its low energy consumption, the quality of its light and its long life—even if it costs as much as 10 times a conventional bulb.

An ordinary incandescent Edison-style bulb consumes 60 to 100 watts over 1,Enjoy zero guilt with only five calories when you enjoy crystal light beverage mix.200 hours."Alien Eye" home built contemporary lamps using standard MR16 5 W 12V LED Lamp. LED, producing the same amount of light, consumes only six to eight 15 watts in 50,Browse the UK's best selection of floor lamp, handpicked from the finest stores and designers.000 hours.

LED is also considered to be among the “green” products, mostly free of lead and mercury.A full range of Book scanner including bulkheads, exit signs, downlights, twin spots and decorative lights.

While trumpeting the environmental benefits of solar-powered and LED lights, officials also said the 58-hectare Rizal Park deserved to be well-lit because it was hallowed ground where Filipinos died fighting for Philippine independence.

“We are not lighting up Rizal Park because ghosts abound here and because we are scared of the dark. We are doing this because this piece of land is sacred. It was here where many noble Filipinos gave up their lives,” Tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez Jr. said in a speech.

“It will be made brighter precisely because we want the entire nation to give it the reverence it deserves,” he said.

NPDC Executive Director Juliet Villegas said the shift from the traditional lighting system to LED would also ease the impact of skyrocketing electric bills on the park’s meager coffers.

Villegas said the park had been paying an average of P1 million in power bills every month with the old “sodium/metal halide” lighting system. LED would slash electric consumption by 50 to 70 percent, she said.

Over 790 lampposts are installed throughout the park,The led lights lamps will light up a street of Kochi by July. popularly known as Luneta. Under the new P100-million lighting project, 285 lampposts, mostly at the monument site and the central lagoon area, have converted to LED.

The lampposts lighted during Monday’s ceremony were among the 1,000 LED lights targeted to be placed around Rizal Park. About 100 flood lights and 100 stand-alone solar lights are also in the pipeline, Villegas said.

The lighting project is to be completed next month. By October, park-goers will enjoy another upgrade: a WiMax coverage (similar but wider in coverage than WiFi) would allow them to access the Internet for free. CCTV cameras will also be installed in the park.

At least seven “green restrooms,” whose interiors are made of bamboo, have been constructed in the park.

Villegas said the changes were conceptualized to make Rizal Park a “benchmarking tool” in promoting cleanliness and environmentalism.

“Secretary Jimenez wants Rizal Park to be a model for all tourism destinations in the country, not only in terms of having uniform and user-friendly but also environment-friendly facilities,” she said.

Aside from boosting security around the park, “the lighting project would also help in reducing carbon print,” Villegas said.


Private Label Energy Saving Street Lights

2012-06-08 13:40:05 | Antique lamp

Hi Score Corporation announced today that it has once again resolved to renew its efforts to go after sales in the ever growing Energy Saving LED Streetlight market. The company has been developing relationships with American manufactures in an effort to be able to sell a private labeled Energy Saving LED or Induction Street Light at a price that makes sense for the buyer.

"The Energy Saving Streetlight Market is huge... beyond huge," said Dominick Falso, COO of Hi Score and CEO of DMD. The past year has been very busy and admittedly we simply did not make the progress in this arena that I had hoped for.LEDs are used as indicator LED emergency lamps in many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting... we are not that far away from being able to get back in the hunt.

The Energy Saving Street Light Market is riper than ever... both Energy Saving Induction Lighting and Energy Saving LED have their place in this billion dollar market. I am very excited about the opportunities that we have in front of us to sell millions of dollars into this market... I have been speaking to prospects that could begin to materialize sooner rather than later. To be clear, we can continue to resell other companies and still make a good profit, I just think that we are leaving money on the table by not having our own brand name on Energy Saving Street Lights..Lighting Creations offer a wide range of light project for your home and garden.. and not only street lights per say.

There are other applications for exterior lighting such as parking lots, State and Municipal Parks and others. Our focus will continue on the Federal Rebate Programs that are in place by the United States Department of Energy. They still have billions of dollars allocated for Energy Saving Exterior Lighting..Shop for Lamp shade featuring deck, post, and wall lighting, flood lighting, and area lighting.. even a very small percentage of this can mean millions of dollars in revenues for our company... that is what we are targeting.

Dominick Falso was appointed as Hi Score's Chief Operating Officer in January of last year. Mr. Falso was brought on to bolster the company's lagging gross sales volume. His efforts began to be fruitful toward the end of last year and the first quarter of this year.Pottery Barn's led lighting and wrought iron floor lamps feature vintage designs. The company has a lot of confidence in Mr. Falso's ability to continue to move the company forward by identifying, advancing toward and obtaining profitable jobs for the company.
