admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:11:43 +0000

Kemp, Texas (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

The Magnalight EHL-LED-120XLV-100 Explosion Proof LED Drop Light produces 760 lumens of high quality light without any of the yellow tint or poor contrasting associated with incandescent lamps. Consuming only 7 watts, this LED drop light produces well over twice as many lumens per watt as a 100 watt incandescent, yet runs cool to the touch and lasts for 50,000 hours of operation without bulb changes. With this LED drop light, operators can expect years of reliable operation with none of the accidental burns or the frequent shattered glass bulbs common with incandescent drop lights. Approved for Class 1, Division 1 & 2 hazardous locations, this explosion proof LED work light includes an inline transformer to allow operators to connect to common 120-277 VAC current for convenient and versatile use in commercial and industrial workplaces. This drop light is constructed with a non sparking aluminum housing and an aluminum lamp cage for rugged and safe operation, and includes an LED bulb assembly in operator specified 12 or 24 VDC low voltage configurations to provide low voltage compliance where needed. The included inline transformer is mounted inline and steps down common 120-277 VAC to 12 or 24 VDC depending upon the purchaser?s desired lamp voltage configuration. Also included is 100 feet of SOOW cord to provide ample length for moving about the work place and connecting the unit to power sources outside the hazardous area. The light produced by this LED hand lamp has a 6000K color temperature, making it very useful in applications where bright intensity and good color rendering is important. The even output and clean light produced by this unit makes it a good choice for those performing tank inspections, working within spray booths, or even non hazardous applications such as automotive repair facilities where durability and reliability is critical.

?The EHL-LED-120XLV-100 is a new addition to our group of string lights; this drop light gives operators the ability to step down 120/277 to 12VDC or 24VDC to provide low voltage where required,? said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics? Magnalight.com. ?This Class 1 Division 1 & 2 explosion proof hand light produces a much sharper whiter light than that produced by incandescent lamps.

U.S. Commercial Channel Sales Post Gains in 2011 but Fall Short of 2010 Growth, According to The NPD Group

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:11:34 +0000

Port Washington, New York (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

U.S. commercial resellers and distributors ended 2011 with hardware and service sales growing 5.5 percent to almost $ 50 billion, according to leading market research company The NPD Group?s Reseller Tracking Service and Distributor Track? data. While growth in this economy is a positive sign, the growth in 2011 is less than half of the growth experienced in 2010 (13.5 percent), and sequential quarterly growth has been on the decline since the second quarter of 2010.

?Companies continued to spend on maintaining and enhancing their IT infrastructure in 2011, but sales growth has slowed for the last seven quarters indicating that the momentum for many categories may have hit a wall,? said Stephen Baker, vice president of industry analysis at NPD. ?Clearly there are still some major categories which continue to grow, but the 4 percent growth we saw in the fourth quarter of 2011 has fallen significantly from the nearly 21 percent growth we reached in Q2 2010 and is below 2011?s overall growth rate.?

Of the sales generated in 2011, 41 percent were driven by three main categories: client devices, networking, and storage hardware and equipment. These sales grew at nearly double the rate of the overall commercial marketplace.

Client devices, which include notebooks, desktops, and thin clients, saw unit and dollar sales increase by nearly 20 percent and 14 percent, respectively. Networking sales increased 8 percent in dollars and storage hardware sales were up almost 7 percent.

Some of the strongest sales among the client device category were:

Plastic Surgeon in Fremont, CA Discusses Recent ASAPS Statistics and Increased Popularity of Cosmetic Enhancements

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:10:54 +0000

Fremont, CA (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) reports in its latest statistics that breast augmentation is the most popular surgical procedure performed. The ASAPS study also states that demand for plastic surgery has increased by 9% in the past year, bringing the total number of cosmetic procedures performed in 2010 to 9.5 million. At his Fremont plastic surgery practice, Dr. Eric Okamoto says the popularity of procedures has continued to rise as more and more patients take advantage of recent developments in surgical techniques and technology.

According to the ASAPS study, there were over 318,000 breast augmentation procedures performed in 2010, making it the most popular surgical procedure followed by liposuction, eyelid surgery, and tummy tuck. Dr. Okamoto says breast augmentation?s status at the top of the most performed surgical procedures is likely due to the numerous options available to patients seeking a natural, enhanced appearance. ?It is truly a life-changing event for most women who generally find an immense boost to their self-confidence. When performed in an accredited surgery center environment with hospital-grade standards under the care of board-certified anesthesiologists and professional ancillary health personnel, breast augmentations can be accomplished extremely safely and efficiently.?

Dr. Okamoto says the growth in popularity of cosmetic surgical procedures is most likely a result of the recovering economy and a more competitive job market. He adds that many patients are undergoing cosmetic enhancements in order to give them an aesthetic edge over other job applicants. Also, a similar study released by ASAPS shows that over half (51%) of all Americans now approve of plastic surgery, indicating a further shift in perspective regarding cosmetic procedures. Considering each of these factors, most importantly the fact that more Americans have expressed approval of plastic surgery, Dr. Okamoto says the field will only continue to grow and progress.

About Eric Okamoto, MD

Dr. Eric Okamoto completed his undergraduate program at Stanford University and received his medical degree from the University of California Los Angeles. He completed his residency training at Stanford and the University of Wisconsin. He is double board-certified in Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose & Throat) and Plastic Surgery and has been serving the Fremont – East Bay community since 1983.
