plugged in with the prez
 Mind: blown! That’s the reaction that Operations Manager Karl Arvidsen and I experienced after wandering through a maze of over 500 exhibits at LIGHTFAIR® International—the world’s largest annual architectural and commercial lighting trade show and conference—May 5-7 in New York City. Spending a good deal of time in the Hubbell Lighting booth, in particular, confirmed what we already knew: LED technology is not only here to stay, it’s evolving and improving at light speed!
The future is here in the form of LEDs providing more lumens per watt, lamps that change color or dim at the touch of your cell phone, and so much more. We’re still shaking our heads at all that we can now offer customers while also saving energy and cost! Give us a call to chat more about the latest trends in LED technology.

LED lights tell mosquitoes: buzz off!
DEET spray…coils…citronella…and LED lights? According to a new study from USC, UCLA and Philips Research in the Netherlands, LED lighting may be a surprising addition to your summertime comfort checklist.
The study, published recently by The Royal Society and HuffPost, found that mosquitoes were much less attracted to customized LED lighting than light transmitted by fluorescents.
This is exciting news not just for us who enjoy summer activities, but more importantly, to those at risk of malaria. The research may prove that customized LED lighting can be beneficial to both people and the environment.
One more reason to make the switch to LED, both indoors and out!

glowing review
Not only does better outdoor lighting make businesses more welcoming, it enhances customer and staff safety.
The management at Rockford’s North Towne Mall spent years researching a solution for their inefficient, high-maintenance outdoor VHO fluorescents. Thayer was pleased to recommend and install the ideal LED system. “As the lights went up one section at a time…the building suddenly glowed with a bright, uniform light that’s evenly distributed,” said Building Engineer Gustave Lamesch.
So far, North Towne Mall has enjoyed a 56% reduction in energy consumption! See more enlightening results at www.thayerlightinginc.com/projects.
