Here at Ellumiglow, we have been setting up lighting installations for quite some time. And one of the biggest hassles in this process, is cabling. With permanent installations, its not all that bad. You go through the process once and you're usually good to go for quite some time.

Even large companies with vast and varied products will find at least a few sects of the po...

Good tips, timely advice, but there is something between the lines that is very telling. Actually, there were several somethings... First, while this article focuses on bars and nightclubs, the scope certainly does not end there. Other businesses from dog grooming facilities to car salesmen can benefit from at least the gist of this piece. The main push here is to know your industry . This piece talks about bar trends and nightclub trends, but, really, if you are in business, then you need to be looking at the trends within your industry.
