It was asked for so we did it. The BrightON Lightning now also comes in 3000K. We had a feeling the BrightON Lightning would be a popular seller and so far it has been. Users seem to like the sizing of NC LED Reckless LED Modules along with the spacing. As I've said a few times, the Lightning captures that module sizing but with larger spacing between modules. The Reckless was a Constant Current .92w 2Diode Module, our Lightning is a 3 diode, .72 watt module. The difference is, the chip efficiency in the Lighting is much much better....you get more light for lesser power. With the Lightning you get much brighter light and spread than the Reckless.

I've gotten many questions over the last year or so and an email the other day that finally put me over and was the final straw for me. "Do these lamps flash, animate, and dim??? I've been meaning to make a video to answer all those question on the USHIO Utopia LED s14 2 watt bulbs that we stock and have sold a lot of, and well.....finally did it! It's a short quick 1 minute video video but I didn't want to bore anyone out of their mind, but I did have fun doing it, and it gave me a chance to work with controllers again, something I don't get a chance that often because my city doesn't allow for anything flashing or animating . I may do a more in depth video later but i think this one does a pretty good job of it. These LED lamps truly are nicely made and bright lil suckers. Anyone who's bought from us can tell you, well...I've always been very impressed with USHIO of Japan products, they make high-end products and you always get what you pay for! 2 Watt LED Lamp Spec Downloadable Sheet SS-USHIO-s14-1.pdf You can purchase these from our online shopping cart HERE, or order by phone (858) 880-1400 VIDEO

Hello to all in the Syndicate, I wanted to let you know that YESCO Franchising is holding a "Discovery Day" on March 21st, 2014 in Salt Lake City.

Our discovery day will show you as sign folks how YESCO operates it's service offices and how they grow. This will be a training for you to better understand how our model could impact your business and help you build your service operation. Please let me know if you are interested in attending so I can give you the rest of the information. Call me or email me.

Hello to all! As a member of the YESCO Franchising department, I wanted to get a feel for what people think of what we are doing. We have been growing this for two years now, and have seen tremendous results. I know when we first began, it was greeted with mixed feelings. I want to find out what the buzz is around the sign community (if there is a buzz), and help bring a greater understanding to what our franchise actual is (yes, it is very different from the other sign franchises out there). In 2014 we are going to have a franchise in every state outside of the Western 11 that YESCO has offices in. If you have not heard about YESCO Franchising, and you want to learn more, that is what I am here for, so please don't hesitate to contact me. We have been contacting a lot of companies out there, so if we haven't called you yet, and you want to know more, let me know. I am interested to see what everyone has to say. Jack Larsen
