WHY I LIKE KICHLER LIGHTING

by Alan Williams

Kichler Lighting

Kichler Lighting has become my favorite light manufacturing company of late, thanks to their excellent customer service. Kichler is the only company that issues RGAs on the spot, checks stock immediately, and offers three different shipping locations for their excellent lamps, so the customer can get their product quicker. Plus, all of the customer service people over there are very nice, cordial and professional. And they have a great lighting inventory with few back orders.

Hooray for Light Bulbs

And now, they have informed me that they carry the FSKJDK – 40 220 volt bulbs, making it easy for those lamp experts located overseas to install Kichler Lighting wall sconces, chandeliers or vanity fixtures in countries that do not have AC 120 volt.

Toshiba has announced details and a release date for its new flagship 55ZL1 HDTV. The new model will be the first to be powered by a new CEVO-ENGINE, which replaces the company’s Cell-powered models. The CEVO-ENGINE is essentially a stack of Cell multicore processors in the form of a seven-core processing unit that provides the processing grunt for such features as 2D to 3D conversion, 3D depth control, HDD video recording, Auto Calibration, and a face recognition feature that will switch to your personal settings after identifying you using the 55ZL1′s integrated camera.

While 2D to 3D conversion has been pretty hit and miss (with more miss than hit), the CEVO-ENGINE’s 2D to 3D rendering has received good reports from those who have seen the 55ZL1 in action.

Kristen Panitch Design is a small design firm in Los Angeles that was founded 20 years ago. They focus on bringing modern flair to classic design, the goal is to create homes that will reflect and evolve with their clients’ lifestyle, tastes, passions, and dreams. Let’s look at some of their projects. When you start thinking that the design is gonna be boring they suddenly add some details that make it unusual and bohemian. A traditional sofa and carpet but a very modern shelf system; traditional furniture but modern windows design. Absolutely traditional interiors at first sight look very modern. I like their style very much and I wish I could hire them to design my own house.
