FLASHES
Price Changes

Nightscaping announced a price increase effective 7/1/2009. A new CLL excel file price sheet is now available with these changes. Contact our sales department to request a copy.

New Transformer

It has been over six months in design and engineering but the new California Series Transformers are nearing completion. If the redesigned units meet our approval, a completely new generation of transformers should be available for distribution in early August. Look for next month's Lite-Tips for the announcement and complete details.




NanoCoat

Hanover Lantern is now producing all their cast aluminum fixtures using the Nanotechnology finishing process. Amazingly the water based process will not chip or peel even if the fixture finish is damaged or scratched. The NanoCoat finish is water resistant, environmentally friendly and available in over twenty different Hanover Lantern finish colors.

New and Old Finish

Nightscaping has just retired the Native Green finish (-2) from the list of colors they have offered for over 50 years. You may remember this finish from the Nightscaping transformers built years ago. They have replaced the old green finish with the Moss finish (-5). The new Moss finish is more modern in its appearance and will tend to accent the surrounding plant material and landscape better.

THE COPPER COLLECTION

Hanover Lantern has just added a completely new line of all copper fixtures to their product line. Included in this new series are several artisan type path lights that offer some very interesting "embellishments". As seen in the image, you are able to select from six different copper cut outs for these fixtures. This option allows the designer to customize the path lights to the design or theme of the project. The "Copper Collection" are constructed of solid copper and will age naturally over the years to a dark copper color and later to a patina finish. The Opalescent Honey glass used on the series create an attractive look during the daylight and a striking effect after dark. These fixtures and many more are shown in the just released Hanover Lantern landscape lighting catalog. To receive your copy just contact our sales office.

ZX-LED SERIES

Now available from the HK Lighting Group is a revolutionary new series of LED fixtures. The ZX-LED line incorporates breakthrough technology using the HK "cluster Design" of LED's around a removable module. With this new system the designer or installer has the in-the-field ability to control light and color output as well as any other issues that may arise. These fixtures are available in several different wattages, color temperatures, beam patterns and voltages. The ZX-LED fixtures feature both versions with integral drivers and remote drivers for overall design flexibility. These fixtures like all of the HK Lighting line are engineered to the highest industry standards. For more information on these fixtures contact our office for an informational pamphlet.
