Currey 9266
Today I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures using my new Blackberry. I can figure out how to get one to Twitter, and from there I can copy & paste to the blog, so I'm getting there!

ALA Annual Conference
Hi there! I just got an email from our association, the American Lighting Association. We're gearing up for our convention in September, and I'm wondering who else in our lighting world is planning to go to Vegas this year? Marcia Hussey from our Laurel showroom, Giorgina Schnurr from Arlington, and I will be representing Dominion Electric Supply, and I can't wait! I LOVE convention! I always get so motivated and full of good ideas! So who else is coming? Let me know so we can meet in person! Here's a link to their Preview detailing the Conference lineup:

Kichler LED Seminars
Have you ever wanted to learn more about LED lighting? Well you're about to have an opportunity to do so! We are honored to have Jeff Dross, Senior Product Manager for Kichler Lighting hosting our seminars on July 28th and 29th.
He's his bio: In 1974, while studying Architecture, Jeff started his career in residential lighting. Chiefly concerned with running Engineering for 25 years, he has since been involved in many other facets of the business including QA, Graphics, production trouble-shooting, International vendor communications and an ERP systems implementation. He is currently Senior Product Manager concentrating on Systems Lighting and their Energy Efficient lines. He also serves as trends analyst and often-quoted media spokesperson. Jeff understands that the face of residential lighting is ever changing and has been involved in a number of industry roundtables that are working to plan for the future. He is the immediate-past Chair of the Manufacturers & Suppliers Advisory Committee of the National Kitchen & Bath Association.
He will start in Arlington on Wednesday July 28th from 10:30 to 12:30.
Then we'll have him in Chantilly on the same day from 4:00 to 6:00.
He'll finish up in Laurel on Thursday July 29th from 10:30 to 12:30.
The seminars will be geared to designers, architects, and contractors, but all are welcome to attend. We just ask that you RSVP so we can have a head count for our caterers (yes, we'll have food!). You can email me at cschla@dominionelectric.com if you are interested, or if you'd like more information. We hope to see you here!

Dallas Market - New fixtures from Kichler
Happy Friday to all, and Happy 4th of July weekend! Before I forget, I should mention that all Dominion Electric Supply branches will be closed Saturday 7/3 through Monday 7/5 in observance of Independence Day.
The close of June also meant our reps just returned from the Dallas lighting market. So we'll have lots of new fixtures on display soon, once the factories start shipping the new product. The first supplement I received was from Kichler Lighting, so I thought I'd show you the things that most catch my eye in their new book. They also have a great page on their website:

They have a video up, hosted by Jeff Dross, who will be hosting our ASID CEU seminars later this month. And here are my favorite new pieces:
42105 CMZ ~ Cambridge Bronze finish and Taupe Crinkle fabric shades with Umber Etched glass diffusers
42061 CMZ ~ Cambridge Bronze finish with Variegated Gold and Linen fabric shade with Satin-Etched glass diffuser
45317 BK ~ Black finish and Satin-Etched Cased Opal glass
42385 ~ with Satin-Etched Cased Opal inner diffusers and White Translucent Organze outer shades
42030 CH ~ Chrome finish and White Linen fabric shades with Satin-Etched glass diffusers
