Berkeley Heights, NJ (PRWEB) December 1, 2008 -- EGL Company, Inc., a New Jersey based manufacturer of specialty lighting products serving the neon sign and custom lighting industry is proud to announce the appointment of John Tulk as head phosphor and coatings engineer. At EGL John will focus on developing new coatings and colors that offer more lumens per watt than traditional neon colors, as well as perfecting EGL's neon phosphor and coatings for the P.O.P and neon signage industry. John's background at Sylvania, Osram Lighting, and Voltarc Technologies, Inc. make him the perfect match to the unique challenges he will face at EGL.

"We are pleased to have John on our team. His distinctive work experiences and knowledge of phosphors, coatings, and fluorescent and neon lamp making is an ideal fit with EGL's position as the world leader of custom color neon lighting products" said Harold Cortese, President and CEO of EGL Company, Inc.

John's professional career started at Sylvania's Chemical and Metallurgical Plant in Towanda, PA working in their phosphor group. At Sylvania's Towanda facility and their fluorescent lamp plant in Massachusetts John gained extensive knowledge and expertise in phosphors and fluorescent lamp technology. In 2000, John left Sylvania to join Voltarc Technologies, Inc. to become their Coatings Engineering Manager where he held this position for eight years before joining EGL in July of 2008.

"I'm excited to be at EGL" said Mr. Tulk. "There are endless color possibilities with neon and fluorescent lighting that is unrivaled whether we are talking about LEDs, fiber optics, or any other light source. I look forward to applying my knowledge and experiences to help EGL remain as the world leader in custom colors as well as to help EGL distance itself from its competition."

EGL Company, Inc., a family owned business founded by Ralph Cortese in 1930 is recognized as the world leader in neon, cold cathode, and specialty lighting products currently providing the lighting industry with over 10,000 products.

      Mounting Signs On EIFS

      By Rocco · Posted

      It depends on what's under the EIFS.   If it's plywood under the foam, then toggles are fine for a lightweight sign.  If masonry, we've come to like the titen HD (simpson strong tie brand) anchors or long wedge anchors.   The Titen HD screws are more user friendly than tapcons IMO.   They come in a variety of sizes, sometimes even at the big home centers.   Just check to see if it's densglass (fiberglass wall panels) under the foam.  Engineeners have told us that densglass isn't "structural" and that things need to be thru-bolted with uni-strut (or equal) sleepers across studs inside the wall.  A few years back, we were called out for an emergency call where someone had installed some large raceway channel letter signs to an EIFS wall that had densglass behind.  They used lag screws.  These held for a while but a heavy snow caused them to fail.   And toggles should work with Densglass but again not for any heavy loads.    In any case don't compress the foam too much.  A sleeve (mentioned above) would be needed for whatever the depth of the foam might be, though probably not needed for something light like an ACM panel.   if it's a really small sign, then appropriate exterior screws are usually OK going into plywood.

      Pepsi logo vinyl colors

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hi   Can anyone tell me the right color red and blue translucent vinyl for the "new" Pepsi logo?  We have a local ice cream spot that recently changed from Coke to Pepsi and we have to replace the graphics on a couple of lit cabinets.   The customer sent me the logo in various formats but it didn't specify the correct colors.   I've searched but keep getting CYMK, etc. for the older logo - 2022 or so.   Thanks!
