The Lighting Element office T.I. is done!

With a lot of help from a few friends, the Lighting Element office T.I. is complete!  A huge Thank you to Zaneen for the Super G Identity fixture – a showstopper in the middle of the room, to Philips for the Spacewise dualeds and Pendalytes for the office and to ProCal Lighting for the electrical installation.  Big thanks also go to my son Fletcher for assembling a lot of furniture and to my daughter Hanna for printing all of the framed graphics and sprucing the place up with plants.  Brendan McCartney also deserves huge thanks for doing Yoeman’s work and pretty much anything it took to help get this T.I. complete.

Susan rides an elephant!

While on a Ligman Lighting reward trip to Thailand, Susan had quite an adventure riding an elephant this past December.  Perched high atop this pachyderm, Susan discovered that the difference between an Indian and an African Elephant is about 3000 miles.  Also- she figured out the answer to this question:  How do you get down from an elephant?  The answer is… you don’t, you get down from a goose.

Philly Marathon

The Lighting Element’s own – Brendan McCartney ran the Philadelphia Marathon with his mom over the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. Despite extremely chilly temperatures and 40 mile per hour winds, Brendan finished the marathon in just 3.5 hours. He and his family had a great time and the support for each other was amazing –  this pic was taken just after Brendan’s mom, Elizabeth crossed the finish line. They say you burn about 100 calories per mile- so a marathon burns at least 2620 calories! That should be enough to burn off all of that yummy turkey, stuffing, potatoes, gravy and pie! We are proud of you Brendan for running another marathon! Way to go!
