Hi <<First Name>>

So Spring has sprung and the temperature drops! It seems to highlight that life is all about contradictions and uncertainties. Pretty similar to those playing out in the construction and electrical industries in New Zealand at the moment. The good and the bad seem to run together!

This month we bring you a selection of the good, the bad, and the downright bizarre!

In this issue:

Wearable Computing - 'tattoos' that can communicate with your online devices;
Monitoring technology for your pets;
The cost of lighting a landmark;
Download your free invitation to Facilities Integrate in November;
Intelligent . . . or just incredible . . . view and decide;
Feature product: Transform your backyard with a TV Shield protective enclosure!
Our featured project is the upgrade of an existing eBos home automation system in a beautiful rural residence near Havelock North.

You think you're having a bad day? See our 'final funny' and share a chuckle at how other's react to workplace stress.

Kind regards

Wearable Computing!

Wearable computing was supposedly the next 'big thing' but apart from a wave of smart watches / fitness monitors we've seen little impact of this on the market.
This may be about to change with temporary electronic 'tattoos' that can be used to communicate with devices.

Lighting Landmark Buildings

Lighting a landmark is an expensive exercise.
Which national landmark costs least to light? And which the most?
Check if you're right in this article from Lux Review.

Intelligent . . . or just incredible!

Featured Product

Monitored Emergency Lighting Control System

For many commercial projects we are now proposing a monitored emergency lighting control system.
It can be stand alone, or can be integrated with the DALI lighting.
Excellent cost savings can be achieved when quotes can include DALI throughout, including the emergency system. Read more
Speak to us about your next commercial project.

The Secret Life of Pets

Did you watch "The Secret Life of Pets?"
Apparently this series and programmes like it have created interest in how we can use monitoring technology to keep an eye on, or even entertain our pets while we are away from home.
A smart home for your pets!!!
See the links below for some intelligent pet technology:
Kyon - pet collar that communicates
Cleverpet - prevents boredom (and mischief)
Petcube - watch your pet at home, speak to them, and drive your furry friend crazy chasing a laser beam!!!

Featured Project

Emergency Lighting System - Prison

When it came to a decision on which stand alone emergency lighting system should be installed for a project at this maximum security prison, the high level security of the Rapix emergency system was a major factor.
The system will allow automated testing and reporting of all emergency fittings for ease of maintenance and compliance with required standards.
