GE Energy Smart® LED bulb


The inventor of the first visible light-emitting diode makes history again this year as it begins to show customers a 40-watt replacement GE Energy Smart® LED bulb available later this year or early 2011. GE Lighting's new LED bulb is expected to consume just 9 watts, provide a 77-percent energy savings, and produce nearly the same light output as a 40-watt incandescent bulb, while lasting more than 25 times as long.

The new GE Energy Smart® LED bulb is expected to outperform currently available products that may be underwhelming consumers right now. GE scientists and engineers designed the bulb to better direct light downward on the intended surface and all around, not just out the top of a lampshade, as most current LED bulbs are prone to do. The new GE LED bulb offers 450 lumens-the Energy Star® threshold to be considered a 40-watt incandescent replacement.

American Clay


Award-winning, patented American Clay Enterprises kicks off 2010 with a major addition to their line of natural, sustainable and healthy plasters for interior walls and ceilings. The company is introducing their own Lime Putty. This lime putty can be used for gauging, or adding to, American Clay's Earth Plasters and also mixed to make limewash. One primary element that makes the American Clay lime products uniquely more sustainable--and LEED friendly--than most lime putty used in the U.S. is that the lime is U.S. sourced. Based on the successful preview at Greenbuild International Expo in November, builders and architects are eager for the products which are both a natural evolution for the line, and an example of American Clay's consistent response to its users' needs. Both products are available as of this month.

Neo Metro's SLAB


Slab is a monolith – a seamless, linear, and artful basin of smooth, solid surface Blanco white. No embellishments, no steel, no visible supports. It's a clean pour into the desired shape of sink.

In Neo-Metro's world of custom hues, Pantone®-matched powdercoats and high-gloss or satin finishes, Slab is a minimalist. Choose a right, center, or left offset; one or two basins. Even with a single, unified construction, Neo-Metro still wants Slab to be a customer’s own perfect design.
