| 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.

Haggerty Gallery Captures A Moment
If you have a moment, and can pardon the pun, come see Capturing a Moment, an exhibit running through May 6, until 5pm daily. The exhibit features the work of artists Ellen Berman, Isabelle du Toit, Catherine Maize, and Gary Schafter in the attractive Haggerty Gallery, located on the east side of campus inside the art village.
Berman's works are still-lifes of brightly flowered or patterned tablecloths, whose wrinkled surfaces and reflect a strong light source. The paintings are oil on canvas and resemble photo-realist artwork. On closer inspection however, there is evidence of pencil marks, strong expressive brushwork, and places where the paint does not reside within the lines. Step back several feet and the imperfections vanish in a satisfying transformation.
Du Toit's paintings feature flying creatures, such as bats, butterflies, and birds, set against a solid black or neutral background.
Astronomers join environmentalists to fight light pollution
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - As the show begins, visitors to the Morehead Planetarium see a night sky free of polluting light. Projected onto the dome is a truly dark sky pricked by countless sparkling points. A narrow smudge - our galaxy, the Milky Way - is as clear as day. Then the light grows to a brightness familiar outside the building. The number of stars visible in the virtual sky drops dramatically, to just a handful of tiny bright spots. "I know, it's terrible," Morehead educator Amy Sayles says sympathetically to a multigenerational crowd of dozens who gathered at the planetarium for "Our Vanishing Night," a program leading up to the Earth Day celebrations today. This year, a growing coalition showed itself in the Triangle asking the rest of us to turn down the lights.
Clean, green muscle cars needn't be girly
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is hooking up with the MTV reality show "Pimp My Ride" for a special Earth Day episode that he hopes will boost the street cred of low-emission cars. Typically, the program features everyday people who have their trashed rides tricked out into bling-mobiles with built-in espresso machines or lava lamps. But for this episode, the crew will transform a 1965 Chevy Impala into a clean, green biodiesel machine. Efforts to reduce global warming and build a hydrogen highway helped parlay Schwarzenegger to an easy re-election last fall. But putt down the 405 Freeway in a Prius? That's not how the gov rolls. Sunday's episode of "Pimp My Ride" will show that "bio-fuel is not like some wimpy, feminine car, like a hybrid," Schwarzenegger said in the current Newsweek cover article.
