You are tired of working at your cubical. You’re dreaming of something bigger. You’re obviously online now and most likely looking for something better. Better is in front of you right now. We are better. No we are not Google, Zappos, or Facebook. We are a local Clive, Iowa, company. And NO we don’t need any money from you. This is a real business and we don’t need you to buy into anything other than our vision. You will be a full time paid team member.

We are not a startup. Our company was founded in 2005. We are financially stable and a leader in our industry. Why the entrepreneur themed vibe? We want to build something better. We want to build something that is truly great. We want to interview 5 leading candidates not 50 bodies.

Benefits:

Discussed at interview but they are well above the industry standard. Hours: 9-5? 8-4? Somewhere around there. We need you here 8 hours per day and it has to be during standard business times. Flexible but simple right?

We are very proud of our LED Retrofit Kits – DesignLights Consortium came out with a new standard, Version 4, that allowed the most efficient LED Retrofit Kits a higher efficiency category. So be careful, there is no need to purchase DLC Standard LED Retrofit Kits when there are DLC Premium Qualified LED Retrofit Kits available. And this is important, because the more efficient the product is, the more you save. And the savings don’t end there. The whole reason for the more efficient standard was to offer larger utility rebates at time of purchase.

So you save 2 ways: potentially at time of purchase and over the life of the product. Let’s do the math, because the numbers don’t lie.

Is there a better way to kick off a lighting design awards show than to distribute glowsticks to the finalists for “experimentation”?

Well, we can’t think of one.

The photos below have been floating around on Twitter in anticipation of the 2014 Lighting Design Awards, a worldwide architectural lighting competition to be held in London on March 20. Leave it to the creative lighting professionals to craft a rainbow motif, an “alien landing” scene, and a dog collar – all from a box of glowsticks.

The competition is steep and the lighting designs are sensational.  Among the leaders in the race for the most unconventional ceiling light fixture designs of the year, these standouts are exquisitely different and–although they may not fit in with everybody’s interior design scheme–they make for mind-altering artistry that brings the “wow” factor to a select few who are daring enough to shine outside of the box!
