Description:
I opened this company July 2011 with the idea of applying custom energy efficient lighting to environments that have not been tapped into much. Some examples are areas around and in water. I would like to light up docks and boats at marinas nationwide giving those water lovers yet something else to enjoy in the night. I have created submersible low voltage LED's that attract fish within minutes of having them lit under water. I dove in even further when i found out that the manufacturing of an incadescent lightbulb is soon coming to an end in October 2012. This opened my business up to unlimited opportunities not only for commercial buildings but also for residential in house lighting. Philips Lighting has recently created an LED bulb that is an exact match in color and size to our common household light bulb. I am looking for an investor that can put in $10,000.00 -$50,000.00 as an investment to build our inventory, redesign website, create brochures and expo displays so we can get our name out there and book bigger jobs with higher payouts. I contract my labor out to licensed electricians who carry there own insurance to keep my overhead as low as possible for startup.
