OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER

Backyard barbecues. Beach getaways. Catching up with friends and family. And...what has now been dubbed, the Keystone Summer of Innovation! Because the next big lighting innovation has no respect for vacation time! That’s right, we can never stray too far from our notepads, even by the pool. But all the hard work has paid off and we’re excited to share with you three revolutionary new products, each addressing a market need and creating a competitive edge for our sales partners. Take a look at what our engineers have cooked up for you this summer.

XpanderKeystone Xpander is the optimal solution for upgrading street and parking lot lighting from HID to LED. Designed for hard-to-fit shoebox and wall pack light fixtures, the horizontal Xpander lamp features two sides that swing out, expanding the lamp into a flat surface. The resulting beam angle is focused in one direction, often downward. The rotating base allows the lamp to be positioned as needed.

• Bypasses the ballast and connects directly to 120-277V line voltage• Provides energy savings of up to 70% over traditional HID

0-10V Dimmable Tube This exclusive, patent pending, T8 LED bypass tube offers excellent dimming performance at an affordable price point. It’s ideal for rebate programs that offer increased savings for dimming solutions.

• Provides energy savings of nearly 40% compared to fluorescent• Provides additional savings through the elimination of expensive dimming ballasts

DirectDrive T5 LED TubesFinally, an LED replacement for both T5HO and T5HE. Save over 50% in energy costs compared to fluorescent. Available in 2’, 3’ and 4’ lengths. 4’ tubes are DLC listed.

• Bypasses the ballast and connects directly to 120-277V line voltage• Easy installation: Re-wire existing unshunted sockets in the fixture

AROUND THE OFFICE

We work hard, but we play even harder.

This summer we got together for a softball game — the perfect way to blow off a little steam. Of course, the game was preceded by friendly trash talk and boasting, which raised the stakes and brought out everyone’s competitive spirit!

Rob Holliday, our Warehouse Assistant Manager, was the captain of the Fireballs. Jake Alpert, our COO, was the captain of a team that decided it didn’t even need a name. But the Fireballs prefer to think of them as the Snowflakes — delicate little snowflakes.

MVPs included Evan, our Director of Product Development, and Adam, our Pricing and Quotation Analyst for Distributor Sales, who were both big hitters. Rob was an amazing pitcher with a sneaky curveball, like a magician who could manipulate physics from his hand to the plate. But Rob’s fiancee, Melissa, was the Fireballs’ real secret weapon. She owned first and second base, and kept the outfielders scrambling each time she went up to bat.

Q Andersen, from our warehouse, revealed his true identity with Superman socks and T-shirt. His superpowers included catching fly balls and sliding into homeplate unscathed. Joey Paulukonis, a.k.a., “The Barefoot Bandit,” who handles our Inbound Inventory Receiving, decided he’d give himself a handicap just to even the playing field, taking off his shoes, and still managing to bring in a few runs.

In the end, the Fireballs smoked the Snowflakes. But we all got to know each other a bit better, and fun was had by all. Rumor has it the Snowflakes are looking to even the score, and the Fireballs are ready.

AROUND THE OFFICE

GIVING BACK

Helping local families meet their needs.

While busy getting our kids ready to go back to school, Keystone organized a sock drive for local children in need so they can also be ready for a new school year.

Our local chapter of The Needlework Guild of America distributed the socks to children in our surrounding neighborhoods. Keystone matched the number of pairs brought in by our team members for a grand total of 400 pairs. The socks were given to kids of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers.

Getting in our creative zone.

They say it’s healthy to take time to stop and smell the roses. And who are we to disagree? But we think it’s even better to stop and play with the roses. That’s why we spent an afternoon making flower arrangements, just for the fun of it. Abbey Alpert, our Events Coordinator, lead the event and guided the aesthetically challenged in creating colorfully coordinated arrangements. The afternoon kicked the evening off on the right note with flowers for our friends and family.
