| New HCX system for emergency pathway illumination
Dual-Lite has introduced HCX emergency lighting system, a viable solution to cost effectively extending indoor/outdoor pathway illumination. The heart of the new system is the HCX-RC12 remote capacity combination emergency lighting unit/LED exit sign. The emergency lighting portion of the HCX-RC12 features high output MR16 lamps that are fully adjustable for easy lamp aiming mounted on a low profile exit sign housing. Lamp heads are easily reconfigurable from one head on each side of the unit housing to both heads on one side to accommodate versatile mounting installations.
The HCX-R12, Energy Star and EPAct 2005 compliant and UL 924 listed, assures 90 minute run time under emergency conditions, works in conjunction with Dual-Lite's new CPR and OCR remote lighting heads, and provides a cost effective system solution to indoor and outdoor pathway illumination.
Brighten your décor with lamps and shades
Improving lighting in a home can be as involved as bringing in a lighting designer or as simple as heading to a hardware store for a dimmer. For those looking for minimal change, yet wanting a fresh look, changing a lampshade is one way to add another design element to a room. Floor and table lamps create a cozy mood that can be enhanced by simply plugging the lamp into affordable dimmers that plug into the wall, available at most hardware stores. "The room will feel a little warmer, cozy because you want to go sit next to that lamp and curl up," said Jeff Boone, a lighting consultant and manager at Lamps Plus in Bellevue. "If it's brightly lit, it will feel like activity." And interesting lampshades are widely available at discount and high-end stores.
Radaza yields; Ouano resists
TWO Metro Cebu mayors decided yesterday to fight an ombudsman order preventively suspending them, without pay, for six months while they answer charges provoked by the purchase of expensive street lamps.
But while it was almost business as usual in Lapu-Lapu City, an irate crowd effectively blocked the way to the mayors office in Mandaue, displaying placards that attacked the vigilante justice dispensed by the anti-graft office.

Lapu-Lapus Mayor Arturo Radaza received the suspension order and temporarily handed over control of City Hallwith a kiss on the cheek for good measureto Vice Mayor Norma Patalinjug, his challenger in the May 14 elections. They even posed for pictures.
Mandaue City Mayor Thadeo Ouano made no public appearance, even as his supporters blocked the stairs to his second-floor office, and the driveway was barred by a government-owned dump truck and a backhoe.
At 25, ex-Endicott star Currier already a head coach
Walking the walk right off the bat with 14- to 18-hour workdays, Quick and Currier brought in five freshmen who helped Division 3 Daniel Webster garner six victories this past season. Currier also got a taste of the top spot when Quick took a two-week mid-season sabbatical, holding the reins on an interim basis.
Currier will be hitting the road hard in search of talent. He already landed two Salem High stars, Chris Hanson and Nick Linear, who led the Witches over Andover in the Division 1 North state tourney.
"Any time you take over an 0-25 program, you know you need new faces," Currier said. "And talent-wise, it's hard to win with freshmen. We've learned that. But now that they're a year older and seasoned, we're looking to them to be floor leaders. They're up to the challenge."
Point guard Jamie Bryant (15.7 points a game) is pegged to be one of the focal points, as will senior Ryan Middlemiss of Methuen.
