The GE Lighting Solutions Revolution Tour, which is in the middle of a 47-city tour of the United States and Canada, is in Kansas City today, and Jerry Cassel, region sales manager – Southwest, GE Lighting Solutions, (pictured here), said the traveling trade show is attracting a steady flow of area contractors, distributors and other lighting professionals. The tour kicked off on March 2 in Orlando, Fla., and will wind its way through the United States and Canada for nine months, ending up in Charlotte, N.C., in November. Jerry has been on tour with the trailer since it came into his market area several weeks ago. Inside the trailer and in the accompanying outdoor tent are some very informative lighting vignettes that offer a look at GE's latest LED technologies, as well as its existing halogen, fluorescent and metal-halide options.
It's definitely worth checking out if it rolls into your town. Click here for the schedule of the GE Lighting Solutions Revolution Tour.

During that time he and the editorial team for the publications have won numerous national awards for their coverage of the electrical business. He showed an early interest in electricity, when as a youth he had an idea for a hot dog cooker. Unfortunately, the first crude prototype malfunctioned and the arc nearly blew him out of his parents' basement. Before becoming an editor for Electrical Wholesaling magazine and Electrical Marketing, he earned a BA degree in journalism and a MA in communications from Glassboro State College, Glassboro, NJ., which is formerly best known as the site of the 1967 summit meeting between President Lyndon Johnson and Russian Premier Aleksei Nikolayevich Kosygin, and now best known as the New Jersey state college that changed its name in 1992 to Rowan University because of a generous $100 million donation by N.J. zillionaire industrialist Henry Rowan. Jim is a Brooklyn-born Jersey Guy happily transplanted in the fertile plains of Kansas for the past 20 years.
