A Seattle area software startup adds a former Microsoft executive to its Board of Directors.

(PRWEB) October 12, 2017

Recurrence, a software startup that is revolutionizing the way business, leadership, and critical thinking skills are taught in higher education, has added gaming legend Ed Fries to its Board of Directors.

“This is absolutely great news!” said Brayden Olson, CEO of Recurrence. “We’ve been pursuing a new board member, and we got our #1 pick. He’s a perfect fit for the company.”

Fries has an impressive pedigree. He spent 17 years at Microsoft, where he served as vice president of games and helped create the Xbox. His expertise will be tremendously useful for Recurrence as the company creates new products.

“Ed brings decades of game industry expertise and connections. In addition, he will help us get in front of important conferences, and he will help us demonstrate to the industry that gamification is working,” Olson added.

Mr. Fries is equally excited. “I’ve spent a lot of my professional life involved in game development and the evolution of game technology. To see game design and game play techniques adding so much value to the field of education is truly exciting,” said Mr. Fries. “I’m really looking forward to joining the Recurrence team and becoming a part of the next generation of learning software.”

Recurrence’s first product is a business game, called The Signature Case Study, in which students enact various high-level executive roles, such as CEO or CFO, as they guide an airline through a series of challenges and crises, each of which is based on real-world data. Working as a team, students make crucial decisions, from business strategy to budgeting, that will determine the fate of the airline.

The response from both students and professors has been overwhelmingly positive. As a result, the game has been quickly adopted by prestigious universities and colleges across the country, such as the University of Washington, the University of Colorado (Boulder), Penn State University, and Florida International University.

The addition of Fries to the Board of Directors is expected to accelerate the adoption of The Signature Case Study nationally and globally.

About the 2017 Blavatnik Regional Award Winners

Chao Lu, PhD

2017 Life Sciences Award Winner

The Rockefeller University

Dr. Lu's goal is to apply his discoveries to advance diagnosis, classification and treatment of cancer and other human diseases. That is why, for most of his career, Dr. Lu has striven to understand the underlying causes of cancer. His work has primarily been in the field of epigenetics – the study of heritable changes to our cells that go beyond DNA mutations. Throughout his career, Dr. Lu has identified ways in which the proteins involved in genome regulation and packaging are frequently altered in human cancers. He demonstrated that these abnormal changes cause cancer by blocking cellular differentiation – the normal process of less specialized cells growing and dividing into specialized cells like neurons or kidney cells. When differentiation is blocked, these cells grow and divide rapidly, leading to tumor formation. Intriguingly, Dr. Lu found that by correcting this abnormal epigenetic state of cancer cells he could halt the growth of tumors, effectively “reprogramming” the cancer cell back to health. Cancer treatments that alter cancer cells rather than killing them would be less toxic for cancer patients.

Andrew Ilott, PhD

2017 Chemistry Award Winner

New York University

Dr. Ilott’s research has focused on the development of new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques that can scan electrochemical devices such as batteries and supercapacitors while they are functioning, revealing details of the operating conditions, critical failure mechanisms and chemical changes that occur inside these devices as they charge and discharge. He developed an MRI methodology that can pinpoint the location of dendrites growing inside lithium metal batteries. Dendrites are microscopic, tree-like structures that can grow between the electrodes in a cell and lead to short circuits and cause major safety concerns. Dendrite formation is one of the main barriers to implementing some of the most promising, next-generation battery technologies. By detecting precisely when and where the dendrites grow and correlating this information with the cycling conditions and the intrinsic properties of batteries, Dr. Ilott and colleagues can provide new insights into the conditions that lead to the formation of dendrites.

Dr. Ilott's recent breakthroughs have also allowed for the application of MRI to commercial, off-the-shelf batteries. This new technology has the potential to revolutionize and accelerate research into new battery materials, optimize quality control procedures in manufacturing, and enable profitable battery recycling projects to deal with the three billion batteries that are disposed of every year in North America alone.

June Huh, PhD

2017 Physical Sciences & Engineering Award Winner

Institute for Advanced Study

Dr. Huh is now best known in the field of mathematics for his proof of the Rota conjecture: an underlying pattern in mathematical graphs that was always found to be true, but that had never been proven from first principles. The Rota conjecture was unexplained for more than 50 years until Dr. Huh, in collaboration with mathematicians Eric Katz and Karim Adiprasito, reinterpreted ideas from one area of math – singularity theory – to an entirely unrelated area: matroid theory. This notion of applying theory from one area of mathematics to an unrelated one has since been fruitful for Dr. Huh in proving other conjectures. He believes that there is an underlying unity between all the different ways of doing mathematics, be it algebraic, analytical, geometric, combinatorial, or another. His goal is to uncover this underlying unity as much as possible and build a framework that allows problems to be tackled with diverse methods.

Honoring the Blavatnik Regional Award Winners and Finalists

2017 Blavatnik Regional Awards Winners and Finalists will be honored at the New York Academy of Science’s 14th annual Gala at the Conrad Hotel in New York on November 6, 2017.

Steps to prevent cyber-criminals from accessing business networks through third-party vendors—in a new article from Hoboken’s eMazzanti Technologies.

Hoboken, New Jersey (PRWEB) October 12, 2017

A NYC area IT security consultant and MSP discusses the supply chain cyber-security problem involving third-party vendors and software downloads. The company then offers tips to help business leaders strengthen network defenses in a new article on the eMazzanti Technologies website.

In the informative article, the company discusses how cyber-criminals are increasingly gaining access to sensitive data through vendors and cites prominent examples and alarming statistics to support its case. The article then offers three practical steps that business leaders can follow to guard against unauthorized access through third-party suppliers they depend on to provide critical services.

The article urges readers to increase security collaboration with vendors, know and monitor all network access points, and limit access to data and networks. It concludes by encouraging business leaders to act now and invest more in security.

“Cyber-criminals are sneaking in through the back door and trusted package deliveries,” stated Jennifer Mazzanti, CEO, eMazzanti Technologies. “Supply chain security is definitely weak and it deserves greater attention.”

Below are a few excerpts from the article, “3 Tips for Stronger Supply Chain Cyber-Security.”

“The Target and CCleaner attacks are just two examples of many that highlight the need for greater supply chain cyber-security. According to a 2016 National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) presentation, 80% of cyber breaches begin in the supply chain.”

Collaboration Critical

“Start with the vendor contract. Build specific security policies and procedures into all third-party agreements. Where possible, vendors and sub-contractors should be certified to the compliance standard for your industry.”

“Follow up with annual risk assessments of all third parties with which you share data. Review security policies and update them as necessary. Both the connectivity and the cyber threats evolve rapidly. Your supply chain cyber-security policies must keep pace.”

Know and Monitor Access Points

“Map all third-party access points to your networks and data. Monitor those access points and check the logs regularly for any anomalies. Make sure you know which entities have access to sensitive data. Also keep in mind that hackers may choose a lower point in the supply chain to gain access and then work their way up to more attractive targets.”

Supply Chain Cyber-Security: A Critical Investment

Thousands of businesses will experience supply chain disruption over the next year due to a cyber-attack or data breach. Those breaches will prove costly in dollars, reputation and downtime.

With attacks likely, and with the consequences severe, businesses cannot afford to delay addressing their supply chain cyber-security. The task can appear daunting, with so many actors involved.

Fortunately, the experts at eMazzanti make it their business to keep abreast of the ever-evolving cyber landscape. With decades of experience partnering with retail firms worldwide, our certified engineers can customize a security solution to your specific environment.

Pioneer in Fast Growing Enterprise Lease Accounting Software Market recognized for its ASC 842 and IFRS 16 Reporting Solution

RESTON, Va. (PRWEB) October 12, 2017

LeaseAccelerator, the leader in Enterprise Lease Accounting Software, announced today that it was recognized as one of 2017’s top 10 Financial Reporting Solution Providers in the latest edition of CFO Tech Outlook. The annual list of companies has been selected by the panel of experts and members of CFO Tech Outlook’s editorial board to recognize and promote technology entrepreneurship. LeaseAccelerator’s recognition is based upon its innovation in providing “push-button” reporting capabilities for the new lease accounting standards.

LeaseAccelerator is the first application on the market to provide asset level accounting and financial reporting for both current and new US GAAP and IFRS standards, a core requirement of the new standards. Specifically, LeaseAccelerator’s Enterprise Lease Accounting software can support:

• New Accounting Standards – LeaseAccelerator’s lease accounting sub ledger supports the new ASC 842 and IFRS 16 standards. Journal entries are recorded at the asset, schedule and portfolio levels that are then published to general ledgers such as SAP, Oracle and Workday.
• Current Accounting Standards –LeaseAccelerator has supported the current lease accounting standards (ASC 840 and IAS 17) since 2009 including turnkey reporting of the required contractual obligations disclosure.
• Transition Accounting – Companies following US GAAP will be required to provide three years of comparative reporting for income statements and two years for balance sheets. With LeaseAccelerator’s latest release, corporate controllerships will be able to generate all transition accounting and required reporting at the push of a button for the first time ever.

“The new leasing standards are one of the biggest accounting changes in history, bringing trillions of dollars of assets and liabilities onto corporate balance sheets,” said Michael Keeler, CEO of LeaseAccelerator. “We are pleased that not only LeaseAccelerator, but this new category of software – Enterprise Lease Accounting – is being recognized for its contribution to the advancement of the industry.”

LeaseAccelerator was designed not only to automate the financial reports required for lease accounting, but to reduce the cost and complexity of the entire record-to-report process. Upon booking, the application performs automated lease classification, thereby avoiding the time and expense of having a senior accountant perform the analysis. The complex process of tracking modifications to leases throughout the lifecycle is automated with features such as periodic stakeholder attestation, critical date notifications, and roll forward reporting.

“We are happy to announce LeaseAccelerator, Inc. as one among the top 10 companies that are showcased in the Financial Reporting special edition,” said Sarah Dawson, Managing Editor of CFO Tech Outlook. “We have examined the cream of the financial reporting solutions providers, who are at the bleeding edge of the arena. The prized panel of CFOs and analysts on CFO Tech Outlook’s editorial board have dissected the industry and recognized the key players.”

Developed over a period of ten years by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), the new lease accounting standards change the way public companies will report leases in their quarterly and annual financial statements. Many real estate and equipment leases, previously only disclosed in the footnotes of investor filings will now be capitalized on corporate balance sheets. The IASB estimates that over $2.2 Trillion of assets and liabilities will transfer onto corporate balance sheets in the coming years. The implementation deadlines for the new standards start in 2019.

About LeaseAccelerator

LeaseAccelerator offers the market-leading SaaS solution for Enterprise Lease Accounting, enabling compliance with SOX, SEC, and current and new FASB and IFRS standards. Using LeaseAccelerator’s proprietary asset-based Global Lease Accounting Engine, customers can account for all categories of leases including real estate, fleet, IT, material handling and other equipment at an asset-level.

Alarm Grid is giving their customers affected by Hurricane Maria 6 months of monitoring at no cost.

LIGHTHOUSE POINT, Fla. (PRWEB) October 12, 2017

Alarm Grid, a South Florida company recently featured among the INC 5000 list of America's fastest growing companies, is giving their monitored customers in Puerto Rico alarm monitoring for 6 months during the hardship caused by Hurricane Maria. "We have a lot of customers who are still without power," said Sterling Donnelly, one of Alarm Grid's co-founders. "We want to make sure that amidst all the hardship caused by the hurricane, one of them isn't our bill. There is simply too much going on there now, and this is our small contribution to the cause."

"We're being told that in some places, Puerto Rico's going to be without power for months. We're South Floridians. We can empathize with this disaster. We know that an alarm monitoring bill is not the first thing on the minds of those trying to figure out where they can get water," said co-founder Joshua Unseth.

Honeywell's AlarmNet, the makers of the popular interactive service, Total Connect, has given companies 6 weeks off of their bill for Puerto Rican accounts. In an email to dealers, AlarmNet asked dealers to pass "those credits... onto... customers where applicable."

"Honeywell has made our decision a lot easier," said Donnelly. "We were struggling with how to handle our Puerto Rican customers since many of them can't communicate with us to discuss the status of their accounts. And, besides, we didn't think it was appropriate given the circumstance to remove their focus from storm recovery. Honeywell's credit confirmed for us that we were doing the the right thing." Alarm Grid is going above and beyond Honeywell's call to action, however, giving away 24 weeks of monitoring to their customers on the island.

"Customers don't have to do anything to get the free monitoring," Unseth said. "We have already applied it to their accounts and have forgiven any Puerto Rican accounts that fell into arrears during the last month. Our prayers are with everyone on the island, and we hope that this contribution on our part is meaningful to our customers who have been affected."

United States District Court Honorable Judge John Mendez denied Defendant's motion to transfer venue asserting that the forum-selection clause did not apply to Plaintiff's statutory claims

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) October 12, 2017

On October 6, 2017, United States District Court Judge for the Eastern District of California, Honorable Judge John Mendez, denied Central Freight Lines, Inc.'s, motion to transfer venue in a proposed class action lawsuit alleging that Central Freight Lines, Inc., failed to classify their truck drivers as employees, but instead classified them as independent contractors. A copy of the Court's order denying Central Freight Lines, Inc.'s, motion to transfer venue can be read by clicking here. The lawsuit is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, Case No., 216-cv-00280-JAM-EFB.

At issue in the case, was whether the Plaintiff, who worked as a truck driver for Central Freight Lines, Inc. in California, met all the criteria under California Labor Code Statues to be labeled as a employee rather than a independent contractor. Also at issue, is whether the forum-selection clause applied to Plaintiff’s claims.

The Sacramento employment law attorneys at Blumenthal Nordrehaug & Bhowmik argued that the truck drivers working for Central Freight Lines, Inc. were allegedly victims of "unlawful, unfair, and deceptive business practices", and were also illegally misclassified as independent contractors. California Labor Code Section 226.8 provides that "[i]t is unlawful for any person or employer to engage in . . . [w]illful misclassification of an individual as an independent contractor." Honorable Judge John Mendez reasoned that the contested forum-selection clause was a "scheme to circumvent statues conferring special benefits on workers."

The Central Freight Lines, Inc., lawsuit will now continue to proceed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.

Blumenthal, Nordrehaug & Bhowmik is a California employment law firm with offices located in San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles and Riverside. The firm dedicates its practice to contingency fee employment law work for issues involving overtime pay, missed meal breaks, wrongful termination, discrimination and other California labor laws.

6 Below “Miracle on the Mountain” Movie Premiers October 12th with NovaStor’s Eric LeMarque portrayed by Josh Hartnett, also featuring Mira Sorvino.

Agoura Hills, Ca. (PRWEB) October 12, 2017

NovaStor is proud to announce that 6 Below “Miracle on the Mountain”, a movie based on the life of Eric LeMarque, a NovaStor team leader, is being launched in theatres across the US. The movie chronicles Eric’s rise to the most elite levels of his sport, his life altering battle against freezing temperatures, a mountain and his own personal demons and his literal climb back to the successful person he has become today.

 

The movie is directed by Scott Waugh (Act of Valor, Need For Speed) and stars Josh Hartnett (Black Hawk Down, Pearl Harbor) as Eric with Academy Award winning actress Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite) in the role of his mother.  Eric’s story is more than just his time on the mountain, it’s about believing in something larger than yourself, motivation to overcome the greatest odds and the realization that addiction knows no bounds. 

 

“It’s a story of addiction, but it’s more than that. It’s also about how you sometimes have to lose part of yourself, maybe even the part you love the most, before you can really know what makes you whole,” said Eric LeMarque referring to the loss of his legs as a result of frostbite from the eight days he was trapped on the mountain. “My addictions to powder, to speed and to snow, were symptoms of a life out of balance. What replaced them—an incredible wife and beautiful family—they are the down payments on a future I never imagined could be mine.”

 

“NovaStor congratulates Eric on his perseverance towards making this movie a reality, but even more so on his success at becoming a leader, inspiring others, and being an all-around great human being,” said Mike Andrews, Managing Director at NovaStor.  “Eric is truly a survivor in all senses and a great role model who seeks out the opportunity in whatever life deals him.”

Today Eric is a successful husband, father, motivational speaker and major contributor to NovaStor’s success.

Branding his car with MicroMoney insignia, Nascar Whelen Euro Series pilot Sam Taheri hopes a million people learn about MicroMoney's mission to lift two billion people out of financial oblivion, joining 50-plus advisors who are shifting MicroMoney's token distribution campaign in the high gear, with almost $6 million down and $24 million to go as $30 million AMM token swap is revving up.

SINGAPORE (PRWEB) October 12, 2017

Branding his car with MicroMoney insignia, Nascar Whelen Euro Series pilot Sam Taheri hopes a million people learn about MicroMoney's mission to lift two billion people out of financial oblivion, joining 50-plus advisors who are shifting MicroMoney's token distribution campaign in the high gear, with almost $6 million down and $24 million to go as $30 million AMM token swap is revving up.

Taheri joins officials of multilateral organizations, representatives of sovereign countries, officers of national financial institutions, major international banks, financial services organizations, prominent influencers, and public figures, as well as executives of MicroMoney's key vendors and strategic partners, all joined to help MicroMoney to attract funds to add 25 million customers to its customer base and help introduce billions of the unbanked to the global financial industry.

Today, banks are not able to approve first loan applications for billions of people worldwide due to the absence of credit history and records. A thriving business in Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka with 100,000 registered users and 40,000 loans issued this year, MicroMoney breaks this vicious cycle by lending to the unbanked and thus creating credit profiles banks could use, a breakthrough made possible by productisation of the proprietary blockchain-based Decentralised A.I. Neural Network Scoring System.

“MicroMoney is on a mission, and it’s no wonder that we have gathered one of the largest, diverse, global, and representative group of advisors out of the latest ICOs,” said Anton Dzyatkovsky, MicroMoney’s co-founder. “The primary objective of our company is to help people, and this socially conscious way of doing business is resonating with more and more power brokers around the world.”

Kicked off Sept. 15, AMM token pre-distribution campaign has a minimum swap threshold valued at $10,000 and a soft cap of swaps valued at $2 million. Thus far pre-distribution event generated $1.3 million and approximately $4.5 million worth of AMM transactions pledged by Oct. 17. The actual token distribution campaign starts Oct. 18, with a soft target of $15 million worth of swaps, and a $30 million hard cap.

"It would make me proud and honored to be a part of such noble cause and I really appreciate MicroMoney for letting me be a part of its team and accept me as its ambassador," said Taheri. "I think this is an amazing concept and helps people in need and makes their life a lot easier. Mankind is obliged to help one another and share their resources with each other."

A two-year-old business headquartered in Singapore, MicroMoney plans to use attracted funds to expand to Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and Nigeria, launch its blockchain credit bureau and add over 100,000 previously unbanked customers, thus including them into the global financial system. Currently valued at $1.85 million, MicroMoney provides social lending services with no collateral or paper-based document requirements. World Bank’s Global Financial Initiative estimates that over 2 billion adults, almost a third of Earth’s population, have never been banked in their lives. The most affected regions are Asia, Africa, and Latin America where about 65% to 80% of the adult population is unbanked.

About MicroMoney

Founded in 2015, MicroMoney International (micromoney.io) is a global fintech company offering financial services for the unbanked in the emerging markets, and access to the unbanked audience for banks, trade, and financial organizations. MicroMoney is a fast-growing company valued at $1.85 million, with over 85 employees in six international locations.

MicroMoney makes lending decisions using a proprietary, A.I. algorithms and neural networks-based mobile scoring system. MicroMoney's lending process doesn't require any collateral or paper-based documentation. MicroMoney collects customers' opt-in mobile phone data to exablish potential borrowers' credit score. MicroMoney uses the score to generate credit profiles, stored with MicroMoney Blockchain Credit Bureau, which in turn shares this data with financial institutions worldwide.

Nvision Biomedical Technologies provides first spinal implants containing Structural Encoding.

San Antonio, Texas (PRWEB) October 13, 2017

Zeshan Hyder, DO, of Bone & Joint Specialists in Merrillville, Ind.; Frank K. Kuwamura, III, MD, of Innovative Spine in San Antonio, Texas; and Larry M. Kjeldgaard, DO, of Cervical Spine Specialist in Fort Worth, Texas are the first surgeons to implant medical devices from Nvision Biomedical Technologies with Structural Encoding® technology. The Structural Encoding technology advances patient care by providing permanent marking embedded within the device that is accessible through an x-ray image.

“We are always looking for the best technologies available to improve the results for our patients and get them back to their productive and pain-free activity as quickly as possible. Having a clear knowledge of their history helps us create the best plan of care. Structural encoding provides transparency for surgeons and patients that creates a new level of knowledge from patient research to implant integrity, all of which equals better patient care,” said Dr. Hyder.

Dr. Kuwamura agrees, “As surgeons, we take care to understand our patients’ lifestyles and activity level. The more knowledge we have, the better decisions we can make for their care. Patients move, physicians retire, and when we see patients that have had previous procedures with other surgeons, it can be almost impossible to get their records. We spend significant time trying to track that information down, but sometimes we don’t know what has previously been implanted until we are in surgery. Structural Encoding changes all of that. We now have a way to know everything about a device and previous surgeries simply by taking an x-ray.”

Structural Encoding, a patented technology platform developed by Watershed Idea Foundry, is the industry’s most innovative solution for medical device identification with permanent direct part marking. Manufacturers can license the technology for use in their medical devices to meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) regulation around permanent marking of the device itself, called Unique Device Identification (UDI). Nvision Biomedical Technologies, a San Antonio-based medical device and biologics manufacturer, is the first company to launch devices with the Structural Encoding technology.

“We work with our patients to determine the best outcomes for getting them back to their quality of life and sometimes that means surgery,” said Dr. Kjeldgaard. “If we do determine surgery is the best course of action, the knowledge we have and the more information we can provide our patients, the better. Structural Encoding gives us an advantage in patient care and gives the patient peace of mind for a lifetime.”

Nvision initially launched three devices in the nv line with Structural Encoding. nv(c)® is an anterior cervical interbody fusion system; nv(p)® is a posterior lumbar interbody fusion system; and nv(a)® is an anterior lumbar interbody fusion system. The initial surgeries were anterior cervical discectomy with fusion at one and two levels, with a structurally encoded nv(c) PEEK interbody implant.

“The entire medical device industry is looking to provide UDI compliant devices, but none are as seamless or as user-friendly as those with Structural Encoding,” said Dr. Hyder. “Structural Encoding is self-contained and doesn’t cause any extra steps or paperwork for the surgeon or the hospital, and that alone is good for our patients.”

About Nvision Biomedical Technologies

Nvision is a San Antonio-based medical device and biologics manufacturing company focused on providing surgeons implants that are paired with instrumentation and biologics to simplify and improve surgery procedures that help patients get back to their quality of life. 

Nvision is committed to developing and manufacturing thoughtfully designed products combined with exceptional service that keep the patients, surgeons, healthcare providers and distribution partners in mind. Nvision is aligned with surgeon thought leaders, key researchers, and development engineers from prestigious institutions to design, test, and bring to market the most innovative concepts.

Larson Electronics LLC, longtime leading supplier of commercial and industrial grade lighting solutions, has announced the release of a new 50 watt low bay LED light fixture that has a high output of 4,333, strong industrial build and an outdoor rating, making it ideal for areas with harsh conditions and shallower ceilings.

Kemp, TX (PRWEB) October 13, 2017

Larson Electronics LLC, longtime leading supplier of commercial and industrial grade lighting solutions, has announced the release of a new 50 watt low bay LED light fixture that has a high output of 4,333, strong industrial build and an outdoor rating, making it ideal for areas with harsh conditions and shallower ceilings.

The Larson Electronics GAU-HB-50LED-RT low bay LED light fixture provides operators with a powerful and energy efficient alternative to traditional and bulky, high maintenance cost fixtures. A special heat dissipating design and LED technology helps this low bay fixture provide 4,333 lumens of high quality light while only consuming 50 watts, and an excellent 60,000 hour rated lifespan with 80% lumen retention. A built-in electronic LED driver allows automatic monitoring and adjustment of input current to maintain the correct LED voltage levels regardless of input levels across a specific range. This driver not only reduces energy dissipation, lowering the operating temperature, but also prevents AC over-voltage and short circuit loading making this fixture virtually maintenance free. This light is universal voltage capable and can be operated with 100-277 VAC, 50/60Hz.

The GAU-HB-50LED-RT low bay light fixture is IP67 rated, dust-proof and protected against temporary submersion and high-pressure water jets. The lightweight and compact body is constructed of cast copper-free aluminum alloy that is corrosion-resistant and provides excellent durability, as well as resistance to vibration and impact. A powder aluminum coating enhances the light’s longevity and aesthetics. The standard version of this fixture includes wall-mount, ceiling-mount and pendant-mount options. A cable-mounted option is also available.

“Customers will be amazed at the amount of light this compact, low bay LED light fixture produces with such low energy consumption,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “It’s an excellent replacement for older light models that rack up electricity costs quickly and require more maintenance than smaller, low profile models.”

About Larson Electronics LLC: Larson Electronics LLC is a manufacturer of industrial lighting equipment and accessories. The company offers an extensive catalog of industry-grade lighting and power distribution products for the following sectors: manufacturing, construction, food processing, oil and gas, military, marine and automobile.
