Big Thanks To Insurance Companies

Sierra Nevada Charlie, Fred & Ken’s Bock

Today I have the 2nd beer in Serria Nevada’s 30th Anniversary line of beers. This time around we have an Imperial Helles Bock. This lager was brewed in conjunction with and to honor two influential homebrewers and authors who have contributed a great deal to the community; Charlie Papazian and Fred Eckhardt. While not my favorite style, andÂ definitelyÂ not a common one I think it is an appropriate approach toÂ appreciateÂ two veryÂ knowledgeableÂ men who have motivated so many to to experience the joy of homebrewing.

Pours a very light translucent copper hue. A massive three plus finger head is easily created and consists of a bouquet of tight white bubbles that quickly dissapate leaving only a few bubbles around the rim after about three minutes. Smells somewhat sharply of lager yeast, gentle alcohol, soft lemon and orange . Tastes of lager yeast, smooth malty sweetness, hints of caramel, gentle citrus and very soft bitterness. Clean simple hop notes contrast well with the sweet malt base and allow the yeasts gentle herbal characters to shine through brilliantly. Other than gentle notes on the noes one will be hard pressed to realize this lager is 8.3% ABV until you’ve consumed most of the bottle. As it warms a few astringent flavors show their face but over all the flavors of this beer are relatively clean and enjoyable. While not a style of brew I regularly compliment this lager was well thought out and well crafted. Those who enjoy the rare Helles as large as this will be glad they opted to try it. As will those who enjoy clean, reasonably crisp, full flavored light lager. If you’re still able to find a bottle, give it a shot and ride your bike.

So, give us a call so we can put you on the calendar.

Happy Holidays!

Perceptions of pseudovoice

Perceptions of pseudovoice By Frankie Roberto

Since last week citizens in the Netherlands can start a referendum on any issue that matters to them. However, the outcome can easily be ignored by the government. This is an example of ‘pseudovoice’, and therefore mostly ineffective.

Classic research demonstrates that offering people the opportunity to voice their opinion has positive effects. It might enhance people’s willingness to accept decisions—compared to no-voice procedures—and can increase al kinds of positive feelings such as a sense of fairness, trust, decision control, inclusion in the group, and respect (e.g., Lind and Tyler, 1988; Terwel, Harinck, Ellemers, & Daamen, 2010). Because of these positive effects providing voice opportunity is very popular with governing bodies, especially in the Netherlands, the home of the poldermodel. A popular explanation for the poldermodel is that ever since the Middle Ages, leaders from competing cities in the same polder (low-lying land that has been reclaimed from a body of water) were forced to share their ideas in order to preserve the land and avoid being flooded. Also in organizational settings people are often given the possibility to share their opinion, for example at the end of meetings during question time (vragenrondje), or by means of suggestion boxes and employee satisfaction surveys.

Although the positive effects of voice opportunity are quite robust, offering voice opportunity can also have negative effects. Recently, a survey completed by employees and managers of a Dutch healthcare organization demonstrated that when employees perceive they are offered ‘pseudovoice’— the mere illusion of influence, because the manager has no intention to really take the input into account—they are more likely to withdraw from voicing their opinion (de Vries, Jehn, Terwel, 2012). That is, employees who suspect that their manager does not intend to regard their ideas, comments, and suggestions will not be very motivated to engage in voice behavior, and might intentionally withhold their opinion (Van Dyne, Ang, & Botero, 2003).

The results of the survey suggest that if people can voice their opinion in an advisory (non-binding) referendum while perceiving this voice opportunity as only an illusion of influence, they might probably withhold their opinion completely and decide not to participate in the referendum. If this happens the referendum overleaps itself and the initiator cannot benefit from the public opinion which, if considered, could offer support for the initiator’s advocated position.

In sum, providing the public with a voice in a referendum can be a good thing but might not be very effective when the public perceives this as pseudovoice - which might happen in non-binding referenda.

MS Halloween Fun!

Coffee with the Principal

MYP Coordinator, Krista Quint; SA Coordinator, Juniper Krog; and Principal, Julie Do hosted MS parents at our first MS Coffee of the year. Topics of discussion included clarifying ManageBac viewing, SA requirements, and MAP test reports.

7th grade Camp Erdman

(November 7th - 9th)

If you haven't turned in the required forms please Click HERE

The Class of 2024 will be heading to Camp next week! Campers will head out from LJA Wednesday, October 7 and be away until Friday, October 9.

7th Grade Camp Drop Off:

Please drop your student off (with their bags) to the Outdoor Basketball/Tennis Court at regular school start time.

Don't forget medications if needed as well as a sack lunch for Wednesday.

7th Grade Camp Pick Up:

 Our campers will be returning to LJA at approximately 1:15 pm. You are welcome to come and pick up your child earlier than the end of the school day at 3:15 pm. (not before 2 pm please as they are attending a camp debrief). Please sign your child out in the Middle School Office if you are taking them home before 3:20 pm.  Mahalo!

Reminders and Updates from the Principal

  • MAP REPORTS - We are in the process of working with ManageBac to streamline the process for uploading our students' score reports for parents' review. In the interim, please email if you would like an advanced PDF copy emailed or printed out for you. Once the reports have been uploaded for MS and HS, I will send out an email with more information regarding the report details.

  •  ON CAMPUS CHECKING IN - Parents please remember that if you are coming onto campus to drop off items for your child, you should please check-in at the MS office or the main receptionist desk to leave the items there for pickup or delivery. We ask for this support and cooperation to lessen the disruptions to classes as well as maintaining a safe campus where all visitors sign in at the MS office. Please note this also includes your child's locker.

  • DRESS CODE UPDATES - In order to address some confusion and concerns with the dress code for the MS, we will be revising the descriptions and guidelines currently in place. We will communicate out to the students directly once the revisions are in place as well as sharing the information out to parents via the weekly newsletter. Please note these revisions should not significantly impact your child's attire as they are related more to better understanding for items like length of shorts.

MYP Minute

Aloha LJA families,

Thanks to all of you who came to the Parents' Turn to Learn sessions. I am linking the Assessment in the MYP presentation HERE, as many of you have asked questions following the release of the midterm report about how grades are determined. Take a look at this with your child, and have him/her try to explain it to you!

Many of you have also asked how to know what the numbers mean? In other words, what does a 3 out of 8 mean in a particular subject? Here's a quick Managebac tip: *To see the rubric descriptors for the different levels: Go to the 'progress' tab and go to the little 'i' next to his/her grades, you will see descriptions of the criteria at the different levels from 0-8.

Any other questions related to MYP assessment, please don't hesitate to send them my way!

Have a happy post-Halloween weekend,

PDD #2 Brunch for Lunch

Suzy Mitchell, PFA

Aloha LJA Ohana! While most of us will be enjoying a long weekend, On November 13, our awesome LJA Staff will be having their second Professional Development Day of the year.  It has become a tradition at LJA for the families to take this opportunity to show our appreciation for the Staff and all they do for our students by providing some very yummy treats for them to enjoy.

Service As Action Corner

Juniper Krog, SA and Learning Support Coordinator

How Do I Document My Service as Action Activities in Managebac?
One of our LJA 8th graders created This Wonderful SA Screencast Tutorial to help you start the process of documenting SA on Managebac.

Please watch! Or, read the steps here:

Step One: Log on to your Managebac account, and find the SA page by navigating to IB Manager, then Choose SA from the dropdown menu.
Step Two: Locate the tab in the top right corner that is labelled "+Add Activity" and click on it. This will bring you to the Planning Worksheet for SA. Please fill out the form as directed.
Step Three: At the bottom of the form, there is a blue button which is labeled "Add SA Activity", click that! This is how you save your work.

That's it! Managebac will now send a note to your advisor automatically to request that they approve your activity. Once they approve it, the next step is to do the service action itself. NOTE: You may also fill in this planning form retroactively, but please note that approval from your advisor is necessary so it is best to get prior approval when possible, to be sure your activity is something that fits the requirements of the MYP SA program. If it is not approved, your advisor will let you know why, and suggest some ways to change the activity or do a different activity instead. Stay tuned for another tutorial in the coming weeks on how to reflect (final step) on your SA activity!! If you have questions feel free to contact me, Juniper Krog, IB Service as Action Coordinator, Phone: 808.261.0707 ext 3150

HS/MS Winter Concert

December 12th

MYP 2 and 3 and SEA Chorus and Band students will be performing in our annual winter concert. Please save the date! As a part of the first quarter 6th grade chorus course the students learned how vocal sound is created through an investigation into their voice as their primary instrument. Through this form of expression, the students worked together as they focused on proper vocal technique, music literacy and singing in an ensemble. To demonstrate their technique the students sang a diverse repertoire of songs, some of which they will be performing in the High School and Middle School Winter concert on December 12th. First and second quarter chorus students will all join the Middle School SEA block ensemble and high school concert choir as a large ensemble for this annual performance. Please email Ms. Loui if you have any questions regarding your child's participation in this event.

Product Details

Xiaomi Mi 8 SE was introduced at Xiaomi’s 8th-year-anniversary event in China, alongside the Mi 8 and Mi 8 Pro. As expected, the Mi 8 SE in UAE is the watered down version of the flagship, and at first glance, it looks more boxy with no curved edges.

Xiaomi Mi 8 SE in UAE is indeed a great choice for budget smartphone buyers.

Xiaomi Mi 8 SE best price in UAE is a smaller version of the Mi 8, intended for users who are attracted to small screen phones. We expect to see a similar design and lightened features.

Xiaomi Mi 8 SE in UAE comes with a 5.88-inch AMOLED full-screen display that uses a notch like its sibling. For many people, a broader view is often accompanied by a larger body. This handset is different. It comes with measurable of 147.28 x 73.09 x 7.5mm that is closer to the 5.2-inch screen size of the conventional smartphone body.

Like the Xiaomi Mi 8, this handset also retained its chin on the front. Currently, it may be difficult to overcome this problem, but in comparison to all Android models on the market, the width of the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE chin area is definitely the narrowest.

The back looks toughly. But thanks to the 2.5D arc glass and the familiar arrangement of the fingerprint scanner and the dual-camera, it looks not that repulsive.

The mi 8 SE best price Dubai makes a big appearance as the world's first telephone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 chipset. The octa-centre processor is combined with Adreno 616 illustrations that guarantee 35% better rendering of designs. On the camera viewpoint, the Mi 8SE games a 12MP + 5MP double camera set up at the back, the Mi 8 SE comes with impressive specs and features.

There are two versions in terms of RAM here, there’s one with 6GB of RAM and another with 4GB of RAM. Both RAM space has a memory speed of over 1GHz. For storage, there’s just 64GB available on both variants, with no option to upgrade further. The Xiaomi Mi 8 SE runs on Android 8.1 Oreo with the new MIUI 10.

Features on the cameras include dual pixel phase detection autofocus, geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, HDR, panorama and the usual AI enhancements like beautification, bokeh and scene recognition. Videos are shoot at 2160p@60fps and 1080p@30/120fps. For selfies, the same 20MP selfie shooter is present here with f/2.0 aperture, AI beautification and 2.0µm pixel size.

The Mi 8 SE sports an aluminium alloy overall unibody with a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on top. It reflects light in the most subtle way, just like the Mi 8. As stated above, it has a boxy look with no curved edges. We can also see the dual shooters at the top left corner, with the dual-LED flash sitting in-between.

The cameras on the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE is different from the one on the Mi 8. The SE sports dual 12MP + 5MP shooters with f/1.9 and f/2.0 aperture respectively. The first camera on top is a 12MP shooter with 1.4µm pixel size, dual-pixel PDAF and gyro-EIS. While the second 5MP telephoto camera underneath the dual-LED flash has 1.12µm pixel size.

Powering the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE is a 3120mAh non-removable Li-Po battery with fast charging technology. With the fast charging feature, charging the battery from 0% to 100% shouldn’t take up to 1.7 hours.

  • Private sector employees: New York Paid Family Leave applies to all private sector employers with employees who work in New York, subject to the New York Disability Benefits Law (DBL), regardless of company size or location.
    Full-time employees are covered after 26 consecutive weeks of employment, and part-time employees are covered after working 175 days. Full-time status is defined as working 20 or more hours per week; below that amount would be considered part-time. Previous time with a different employer does not count toward eligibility.
  • Public sector employees: New York State considers public employees as anyone who works for the state of New York, any political subdivision of the state, a public authority or any other governmental agency or instrumentality thereof. Public employers are not required to provide PFL benefits to their employees under New York’s regulations. Public employers that wish to provide disability benefits and PFL coverage must email the Workers’ Compensation Board at stating that you plan to provide Paid Family Leave to employees. Public employers who do not currently provide disability benefits must complete the Application for Voluntary Coverage.
  • For couples under married status, each employee is entitled to the benefit independently of one another; they do not have to share the Paid Family Leave entitlement. However, if both employees work for the same employer, the employer has discretion to limit both employees from being on leave for the same reason at the same time (i.e. both employees taking PFL to bond with their new child at the same time).
Can employees waive coverage?

Employees not expected to work a regular schedule of 20 or more hours per week for at least 26 consecutive weeks, or those not expected to work a regular schedule of less than 20 hours per week for 175 work days (not necessarily consecutive days) within a 52-week period have the option to file a waiver through their employer. If a waiver is signed, no payroll deductions will be withheld from the employee’s paycheck, and the employer must keep a copy of the fully executed waiver on file for as long as the employee remains employed by them. If the employee becomes eligible for coverage, the waiver is revoked and premium payments must begin as soon as the employee is notified. This includes premium amounts back to the date of hire.

Does New York Paid Family Leave provide intermittent leave?

Intermittent leave is permitted in one-day increments (based on employee’s normal work schedule) under the Paid Family Leave regulations. These are full-day increments during which the employee did not work at all. Any day the employee worked and received pay is not considered a day of leave.

How is this program funded?

Paid Family Leave benefits are intended to be funded entirely through employee payroll deductions. However, employers may contribute to or fully cover the PFL cost on employees’ behalf. The state of New York sets the community rate for PFL on an annual basis. All carriers, as well as the State Insurance Fund, are required to charge the same rate for their fully insured PFL coverage. Additionally, the New York State Department of Labor issues the State Average Weekly Wage (SAWW) on an annual basis, which directly impacts the maximum annual payroll deduction. The following 2019 contribution rate and SAWW determine the maximum annual contribution in effect for 2019:

  • 2019 contribution rate:    0.153% of an employee’s weekly wage*
  • 2019 SAWW:    $1,357.11 (Updated yearly, by March 31.)
  • 2019 annualized SAWW:    $70,569.72 ($1,357.11 × 52 weeks)
  • Annual premium cap:    $107.97 ($70,569.72 × 0.153%)

*Employees earning more than the SAWW will contribute 0.153% × their gross wages each pay period until they reach the maximum of $107.97.

Are NY PFL contributions tax deductible?

Premiums are deducted from employees’ after-tax wages. Employers should report employee contributions on Form W-2 using Box 14 – State disability insurance taxes withheld.

Benefits are issued as non-wage income. This means that benefits are not treated as wage replacement and therefore are not subject to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax. Income taxes are not automatically withheld from benefits; however, employees can request voluntary tax withholdings. Benefits are reported on a 1099-MISC issued directly to claimants at year-end.

How does the benefit impact other leave plans?

State disability coverage: Private sector employers are required to offer both DBL coverage and PFL. In most cases, insurance carriers are required to offer one plan that administers both coverages.

Employees may not use DBL and PFL concurrently. However, they can be taken one after the other. For example, employees who deliver a baby may qualify for DBL coverage for the six- to eight-week recovery period and also be eligible for PFL benefits following the birth to bond with the baby. While the two benefits cannot be taken concurrently, the employee has the option to forgo the disability benefit entirely, opting to just take PFL for bonding, or to use the disability benefit and then use the PFL benefit.

The state DBL benefit provides 26 weeks in a 52-week period of coverage. The PFL benefit duration depends on the year in which the claim began (for example ten weeks of benefit in 2019). These two benefits share a maximum benefit duration of 26 weeks within a 52-week period.

FMLA: PFL is not part of the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA); it is a separate entitlement with different eligibility rules and employer requirements. If an employee’s leave is also eligible for federal FMLA, it will run concurrently with NY PFL.

Company leave programs: An organization’s family leave and maternity/paternity benefits do not replace the mandated PFL benefit in New York. An employer may be eligible to receive reimbursement for periods an employee is receiving benefits from a company paid leave program and is also eligible for PFL benefits.

What specific requirements should employers and employees be aware of?

Stay familiar with the latest PFL regulations.

Both employers and their employees should know:

  • When married couples share an employer, each employee is entitled to the benefit independently of one another; they do not have to share the Paid Family Leave entitlement.
  • New York Paid Family Leave benefits are intended to be funded entirely through employee payroll deduction. Employees should be kept aware of any yearly rate increases.
  • Benefit amounts and available time will increase over the next several years, but are subject to change by the state of New York.
  • The employer cannot require the employee to exhaust their paid time off before filing a PFL claim.
  • The employee should provide 30 days’ notice for a foreseeable leave. If this is not possible, the notice should be provided as soon as is practical.
  • If the employer permits it, employees may use their paid time off, sick and/or vacation time to supplement their PFL and receive up to their full salary.
  • The employer may seek reimbursement of PFL benefits if salary continuance is provided to the employee. The employer must notify the carrier before the claim is paid to receive reimbursement.
  • The employer cannot influence the employee’s PFL schedule.
  • Employees have job protection under PFL.
  • Employees do not need to explicitly mention paid family leave in order to assert their rights. The employer should seek further information from the employee to determine whether the employee is seeking family leave.
  • Employers are required to provide written statement of rights to the employee within five business days after receiving notice of the employee's absence of seven consecutive days is due to a family leave.

Term life insurance
and AD&D

You want to protect your family’s financial security, even if you can’t always be there for them. With term life insurance, you can make your plans with confidence, knowing that important expenses such as rent or mortgage, car payments, college and retirement funds, and bills will be taken care of.

Coverage you need; support you deserve

  • If you become disabled and unable to work for more than six months, we’ll waive your term life premium. You don’t have to worry about paying your premium or losing your coverage.
  • If you’re diagnosed with a terminal disease, you might need some of your life benefits now, for treatment and other costs. If that’s the case, Lincoln lets you withdraw a percentage of your coverage early, and your beneficiaries will receive the rest of your coverage as a death benefit.
  • If you leave your company, you can keep your term life coverage. You can even convert all or part of your coverage to an individual life policy, without a medical exam.
  • Your employer may offer you accidental death and dismemberment coverage (AD&D) with your term life coverage. AD&D insurance pays a benefit if you die or lose a limb, sight, speech or hearing because of a covered accident.

Practical support and guidance

Every Lincoln Term Life Insurance plan includes helpful support and travel assistance services:

  • Access travel planning and free emergency medical help whenever you travel more than 100 miles from home for business or pleasure.
  • Access support services for you, your family and beneficiaries, including will preparation, memorial planning, and legal and financial information.

Count Daniel O'Connell - Irish Biography

O'Connell, Daniel, Count, was born at Darrynane, in the County of Kerry, in August 1743: of twenty-two children by one marriage he was the youngest. Having studied mathematics and modern languages, he entered the French army at the age of fourteen, as lieutenant in Lord Clare's regiment of the Irish Brigade. He served with honour in the Seven Years' War in Germany; and at its conclusion, having gained much experience and-studied military engineering, he was attached to the Corps du Genie, and became one of the best engineers in France.

He distinguished himself at the siege and capture of Port Mahon from the British in 1779, and at the unsuccessful siege of Gibraltar, in September 1782. From the plans of assault on the latter place submitted to him, he felt satisfied that the attack could not succeed; yet he claimed the honour of leading a body of troops, and was wounded in nine places. Soon after this he was appointed Inspector-General of the French Infantry, with the rank of a general officer. At the Revolution it is said he declined a military command pressed upon him by Carnot, feeling it his duty to remain near Louis XVI., and share the fortunes of the royal family.

Eventually he joined the French Princes at Coblentz, and took part in the disastrous campaign of 1792. He then returned to Ireland, and was appointed to the command of an Irish regiment in the British service. During the peace of 1802 he visited France to look after a large property to which his wife was entitled. He was one of the British subjects seized by Napoleon, and remained a prisoner until 1814. The advent of the Bourbons restored him to his military rank in France; and he enjoyed in the decline of life full pay as general in the French army, and as a colonel in the British service. Refusing to take the oath of fidelity to Louis Philippe in 1830, he was deprived of his French emoluments. He died at the country seat of his son-in-law, Madon, near Blois, 9th July 1833, aged 89. He was uncle of the great Daniel O'Connell.

Dry Shampoo Saves Hair Washing Time

My colleague Amber at babblebaby waxes eloquent about the delights of dry shampoo, effectively a means of washing your hair without actually putting it under water. As a bloke with deliberately short hair, I've never found hair washing that much of a chore, but if you're sporting a Michael Bolton or a Leona Lewis, this is definitely a tip worth noting (check the original post for the gory details and Amber's product recommendations).

    I thought we can use baby powder as a "cheaper" alternative to this dry shampoo

    I actually asked Amber (my new hair care expert, obviously) about that one, and she said it was indeed possible, but you did come out of it smelling like baby powder, which I think is a downer unless you are in fact a baby. In which case you have no hair and other more pressing stench issues to deal with.

    Me again! Baby powder is also coarser and stickier than dry shampoo so it sticks in your hair making it look a bit grey. The dry shampoo seems to blend in better. There is also the mess factor with talcum powder.

What Is the Best Viewing Distance to Watch a TV From?

Eyes feeling tired? Sit back!

Woman's feet on ottoman watching TV

Despite what our mother's told us as kids, sitting too close to the TV doesn't make you lose your vision or make it go bad.

According to the Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO), sitting too close to the TV doesn't cause permanent damage to your eyes. Instead, it causes eye strain and fatigue.

Eye strain and fatigue can be a problem because that means your eyes are tired, which translates to blurry vision. The cure is to rest your eyes and vision returns to normal.

This information applies to televisions from a variety of manufacturers including, but not limited to, those made by LG, Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, and Vizio.

Proper Lighting For Watching TV

While sitting too close to the TV can cause eye strain and fatigue, watching TV in the wrong lighting can cause even more unnecessary eye strain. The CAO recommends that you watch TV in a well-lit room in order to prevent this unnecessary fatigue on your eyes.

Lighting in the TV room is very important. Some people like the room bright, others like it dark. The CAO suggest watching TV in a room that has daylight conditions. The thought being that a room too dark or too bright would force the eyes to strain to see the image.

The CAO also recommends that a person shouldn't watch TV with sunglasses on.

Other than removing your shades, one solution to reducing eye strain when watching TV is to backlight the TV. Backlighting is when you shine a light behind the TV. The Philips Ambilight TV is probably the most famous of the TVs with backlighting.

Proper Distance To Sit From The TV

One line of thought is that a person can sit closer to an HDTV because our eyes see the widescreen differently than when viewing the old analog TV. Another one is that nothing has changed. You shouldn't sit with your nose touching the screen.

So, how far should you sit from the TV? The CAO recommends that a person watches TV from a distance of five times the width of the TV screen.

The best advice is to use a little common sense and move away from the TV if your eyes start hurting. Watch TV from a distance where you can comfortably read the text on the screen without squinting.

If you're watching TV and your eyes start to feel fatigued then move your eyes away from the TV. Try to focus them on something far away for a short time. My favorite example of this in action is the CAO's 20-20-20 rule.

The 20-20-20 rule is actually intended for computer viewing but it really can be applied to any situation where eye strain is a problem, like watching TV. According to the CAO, "every 20 minutes take a 20-second break and focus your eyes on something at least 20 feet away."

Note: If you have tired, achy eyes after sitting in front of a computer screen, you might benefit from a blue light filter application.

If you are looking for an experienced team of lighting designers with a passion for lighting, give us a call. We can help you design your lighting if you are remodeling your home, kitchen or bathroom or help you design your entire lighting plan for your home or business. Our designers can help you lay out your recessed lighting as well as the decorative elements of your home or business.

Lighting Makes a Difference

Good lighting can make a huge difference in how you feel about your home. It helps you perform tasks, promotes safety and comfort allowing you to enjoy your home to its full potential. Lighting adds beauty and drama to any room. It can make a small room look open and airy, and large rooms appear cozy and inviting. It can create a stimulating atmosphere for a night of entertaining, or a quiet feeling of relaxation after a long and tiring day. In so many ways, lighting can make a difference. And, it does so quite inexpensively compared to other home decorating or remodeling options.

Lighting Design & Layout in Orange County and the Inland Empire

A good lighting design is vitally important for functionality, security as well as aesthetics greatly adding to the enjoyment and the value of your home. Good lighting does not have to be expensive... just correctly planned. General, task and accent lighting are the three basic types of lighting that work together to light your home. With correct planning, we can enjoy the benefits of what good lighting can do instead having to contend with the ineffectiveness of poor lighting. Poor lighting is usually a result of a lack of preparation or inexpert advice. With our changing lifestyles, the rooms in our homes are more spacious and multi-functional, therefore lighting design should consider these facts. Take the kitchen for example. Today’s kitchens are more than just places to prepare meals. In addition to its primary food function, this room ranks as the heart of the home and center of family activity. Such multi-tasking kitchens demand equally versatile lighting. Gone are the days when a single fixture centered in the kitchen ceiling was considered adequate.

The Light Bulbs Etc. Experience

At Light Bulbs Etc, we are committed to providing the latest design innovations and an exemplary level of customer service and expertise. Our buyers travel the world extensively, delivering to the market place the very latest in lighting design, style and fashion. There are several good showrooms where one may purchase lighting. At Light Bulbs Etc however, we feel that one of the key distinctions between us and many of our competitors is the fact that we don’t just display and sell light fixtures...we talk lighting. Every one of our fully trained sales consultants are certified Lighting Specialists having completed an extremely intense and extensive lighting diploma course accredited by the AMERICAN LIGHTING ASSOCIATION (ALA). The LS certification is a pre-requisite of employment at Light Bulbs Etc ensuring our customers the very best advice and assistance at all times. Come visit one of our lighting stores in Costa Mesa, Montclair, and Orange.

Professional Lighting Design Service

Lighting should be planned to complement your lifestyle. So, first you need to develop a home lighting plan that suits your individual needs and those of your family. When planning your lighting, look at the activities that occur in each room, the atmosphere you want to create and the decorative elements you wish to emphasize. Keep in mind that light can be absorbed and even wasted in dark-colored rooms, or reflected and used as additional illumination in light-colored rooms. Also, take note of those areas serving more than a single purpose and those that will require more than one type of lighting. Light Bulbs Etc operates a professional design team of ALA certified lighting consultants providing in home lighting design and layout services. Whether you have a single room or a whole house to illuminate whether a remodel, a new house or just simply re-decorating, we are confident that you will find our expertise and ideas an invaluable benefit.

Important Lighting Tips to Know

Listed below we have included some useful tips to consider when purchasing lighting.

(1) Energy Efficiency

With the ever-increasing cost of electricity one needs to consider this fact seriously when making choices. The use of energy efficient light bulbs, dimmers and ceiling fans are all helpful tools in assisting with those high electric bills. LED has taken the world of lighting by storm and we have a huge selection of LED products.

(2) Intelligent Choices

The important thing to remember when choosing lighting is to ensure that your selection performs the required function. For example a shaded portable lamp placed next to a sofa or chair for the purpose of reading, may prove to be disappointing in that the light emitted from this type of lamp, will probably serve better as a general light source or a decorative furnishing, rather than a specific reading light.

(3) Plan Your Lighting

Just as good light planning renders a home practical and livable, conversely incorrect planning or misplacement of lighting can seriously affect the beauty and functionality of your investment. Get professional assistance from an approved ALA lighting showroom whenever possible. A directory of ALA approved lighting showrooms can be accessed on the internet by clicking here

(4) Selection...Advice... Service

A good Lighting showroom will generally represent quality reputable manufacturers who are constantly introducing the newest innovations. They warranty their products and usually offer replacement parts and spares long after the item may be discontinued. Home improvement and big box stores frequently change suppliers and therefore continuity could be an issue under certain circumstances. In addition, it is rare to encounter someone with specific training in the field of lighting at such establishments. It is understandable since employees are constantly required to shuffle from one department to another with little importance on customer service and focused knowledge in one specific area. Lighting showroom employees have specialized knowledge solely in the field of lighting.

Our In Home Lighting Design Service

(1) Meeting with client at their residence to determine a lighting plan taking into account the activities and decorative elements to be emphasized.

(2) If an architectural plan of the house is not available then each room will be measured if necessary where after a rendering will be prepared showing the proposed lighting layout. An electrical schematic for dimmers and switches can also be furnished on request.

(3) Upon completion of the CAD drawing, a meeting is scheduled with client at our showroom where the designer will carefully elaborate on layout suggestions, explanations, demonstrations and reason(s) for our thoughts and ideas offered.

(4) At that time we will include a list of materials as well as our proposal. On request we can arrange for a qualified electrician to review our proposal and provide an estimate.

(5) By employing our design service the client will receive a discount on all products equal to contractor or designer pricing which is a substantial saving off advertised retail prices.

If you are in need of lighting design services, please give us a call or stop into one of our Orange County or Inland Empire lighting showrooms located in Costa Mesa, Montclair, and Orange. We promise, you won’t be disappointed!
