That's certainly no small feat. Congratulations! You all should be proud of what you've accomplished to date. Wishing you many more successful, and informative, years to come!

To say that we are shocked and saddened is such an understatement. It was a pleasure whenever KC would stop in to say hi; he was always a welcome sight, and he would wear a smile on his face, no matter what he was going through (which we knew was a lot!). I especially loved when he would talk...

Mike, we don't have that specific node in Rental, but we do have other options. I'm sure we can help you find a suitable solution. I am not the best contact for that, but Noland Jenkins, our Pittsburgh Production Manager, would be happy to help. Feel free to contact him at 412-788-5250 or...

Hi charmcityfan! You've received some good advice here. We're right in your back yard. If you want to PM me with your address, I'll mail a free literature pack with some helpful information ... and a white china marker too. :) Best wishes on your new space!

Fascinating! I don't think I have any of those old catalogs, but I will have to keep my eyes peeled for them. Thanks for sharing that.

That "Century Man" logo has me stumped. I've combed through data sheets and a few brochures from the 50s and 60s, and found no use of that particular logo on either type of marketing materials. However, Aman121, if you'd like to see a data sheet on the 1570 series from either 1959 or 1966, I can...

Sorry that I'm a little bit behind in my reply, but I wonder if these may help you out. I found two pieces in our Strand Century archives, a 4-page brochure covering a range of LEKOLITE spotlights, dated 1971, and a datasheet for the 2341/42 from 1977. I'm feeling a bit old now, but I would just...

Congratulations, Ship! Wonderful to hear that she's healthy and well-behaved.:) Pictures would be wonderful, but most importantly, I hope you enjoy this time of being a new dad.

Dave, oh no! I do hope that the PTB will make some safety updates, and his accident won't be for nothing. We'll keep Jason in our good thoughts for a quick and full recovery.

What does a magazine about movie auditions and casting calls have to do with backstage anyway? We should countersue for misuse of the word. I'd throw in 50 bucks, too, for his legal defense, just because he's a good guy who doesn't deserve this.

For what it's worth, Rosco does make a flame retardant specifically for paper and cardboard products: Flamex PC. It's relatively new; I personally haven't tried it out yet. As Footer suggested, I would first try to buy Chinese lanterns that are already treated. But, if you have paper decorations...

Derek, I was puzzled too! So I went straight to the source, Strand Lighting, to get an answer. Here's what I learned. 1963 CENTURY acquired by Progress Ltg 1964 CENTURY bought by Walter Kidd 1967 STRAND ELECTRIC bought by Rank in UK 1971 CENTURY bought by Rank, Name change to Century...

Here are two of the Strand Century #3413 datasheets, one from 1970 and one from 1977. Looks to be pretty much the same info, but I'll admit that I didn't look incredibly close at either one. Hope it helps.

Get to know people at these companies. Attend their workshops, visit their open houses and road shows. Stop by their booths at festivals and trade shows. That's where we give the bulk of our swag away. If you work part-time in one of our shops, you're also likely to get a t-shirt or two. You...

Mike, Future Light makes the SwivelPar, which is a pendant-style Par20 that screws into a recessed outlet. It's geared mostly for event lighting for ballrooms, conference centers and such, so it may not be what you need. List price is $84 for the white fixture, and you have your option of...
