I just heard that the 2008 National Electrical Code is requiring all lighting fixtures to have an electrical disconnect provision at the fixture.  There are WAY too many people hurt or killed each year from working on "hot" light fixtures.
 
Our product has been doing this for over three years.  All our fixtures have this provision now.  We even take safety further by making the disconnect (electrical, mechanical, and mounting) without using a ladder.  No shock hazard, AND no fall hazard.
 
Some of the lighting experts are beginning to wonder how the HECK they will meet this requirements with their recessed fixtures - Our recessed fixtures meet the new code.  We`re even introducing track lighting later this year that meets code.
 
The new word on the lighting streets is "maintenance safety."
 
The sun is shining brighter today...

Yeh, I know what you mean.  I was working on a new service a while back that was essentially an automated check in and traking service with real-time emergency response and panic response.  A Working Alone protection system.

Three or four months in the Government introduced a new subsection the the occupational Health and Safety legislation that required that employers offer a means of immediate assistance for anyone working alone or in isolation.  With the legilation backing us up, and being one of a very few companies offering such services our perspective sales sky rocketed.

Congrats Ladderless! It`s good to have to Government help you in the marketing department!
