Against their better judgment, Pinicon Ridge let us return this year for our 5th annual CSLA Camping & Float Trip! We brought more people this time, while Mike and Matt brought less sunscreen. The current wasn't as fast as last year resulting in a much longer float so hanger on the Wapsi hit hard by hour 6. It was like Survivor... but with more Busch Light and significantly fewer survival skills. Nonetheless, we persevered and made it back to camp where we refueled with a family dinner and aloe vera. See you next year, Pinicon Ridge!

Just your friendly reminder under United States code, the American flag cannot be displayed after sunset unless it is lit! We don’t make the rules, we just sell the lighting to help you follow them.

Read through Hydrel's flag pole lighting guide to ensure you’re properly honoring the stars and stripes with uniform illumination, no matter what height your flag flies. Conveniently, Hydrel has a full spread of lighting solutions to help -- link to the guide below.

Have a safe weekend & happy 250th, America! CSLA will reopen on Monday.

Our favorite lighting controls enthusiasts went on a summer road trip to beautiful Middleton, Wisconsin for ETC Workshop! A week to connect, explore new software and tools, sharpen sales knowledge, and spend time with industry peers who share a passion for all things ETC.

Trip highlights included meeting James Foster, the new ETC President, getting a "behind the curtain" factory tour, test-driving consoles in the Experience Rooms and taking classes on F-Drive RX, OneTrack, DaVinci, and more. Despite a full schedule, they made sure to find time to hit up the swag shop because what summer adventure is complete without souvenirs? Judging by the pics, no fun was had and they missed us terribly.......

Thanks ETC for hosting our team! Per usual, they had a wonderful time in Middleton!
