What Kind of Year Will It Be? |
 What kind of year will it be? This is a question I have been asked a lot lately. Everyone is trying to get a pulse of what is really happening in the market place. Manufacturers are looking for good information to assist production planning, contractors want to know how they are stacking-up against everyone else, and us as distributors want to be able to plan for our customer's needs.
It seems to be the million dollar question at the moment, and we have to rely on our 'crystal ball' reading skills to properly plan...but what's new? We contend with weather, the economy, and a host of other factors; that is just the way it is.
Instead of trying to figure out what kind of year it will be, I believe everyone should focus on, "What kind of year will we make it?" There are plenty of factors outside anyone's control that we all battle with, but there are also plenty of factors within our control that we must recognize and address. I've said this before and I believe it: "I don't believe in luck just happening, I believing in making luck happen." It takes effort, hard work, and planning.
My crystal ball is cloudy like everyone else's, but I know this: our vendors are committed to producing quality product at a fair price, and we are committed to providing the best value to our customers. No one can predict what kind of year this will be, but I can predict and guarantee that REAMS is committed to helping you proceed down the road of success. The road is currently under disrepair, filled with pot holes and washouts, but the road is still open. Let REAMS be your pilot car assisting you through the obstacles.
Thank you for your continued business.

Tip from Ron: LED Landscape Lights Simplify Installation |
 Driven by rapidly-rising electrical rates and interest in eco-friendly solutions, the lighting industry has turned its attention to high-efficiency products. Since 2002, average electricity rates have risen by over 25%, so there is demand for solutions that control energy use.
Experts predict that LED will rapidly replace traditional incandescent landscape lighting products, providing equal light output while using 80-90% less energy.
LED technology greatly improves the installation process for landscape lighting. For many residential installations, a single continuous cable run can be all that is required to supply power to over two dozen fixtures. Because each fixture contains a driver which helps regulate and balance the flow of current, all fixtures will have uniform light output regardless of minor variations in incoming voltage.
The combination of lower power use and self-balancing fixtures can virtually eliminate the need for laborious voltage drop calculations in many systems. It also can allow for the addition of more fixtures into many installations without affecting the performance of the balance of the system.
Ask your REAMS team member about the advantages of LED landscape lighting.
