Spotlight on Golight: A Pat On The Back

by admin on April 29, 2010

We don’t want to go around patting ourselves on the back, but we sure don’t mind if others do! The following is a letter that was received by one of our associates, Shawna.

Shawna,

I am sending you the light I called about.

This light was received as a gift approximately 10 years ago and rode on top of my patrol car (I was a State Trooper for 33 years). Afterward it rode on my truck (I am now a ranger with the Yazoo Ms Delta Levee Board). Last Sunday (3/28/10), while responding to a call, and running about 80 into a 20 MPH head wind, I met an 18 wheeler probably going just as fast the other way.

It could have been because one of the magnets came loose due to weather exposure, or it could have not been setting flush because of the ribbed roof… who knows.

But to my surprise it came loose, first striking the bar light, then flying over the left fender and striking the black top.

The power cord held the light as it bounced down the road at 80 mph. It probably took me a 100 yd or so to stop. To my surprise, it was still hooked up and just bouncing along.

I picked it up and put it in my truck. The lens was gone, the handle was gone, a large chunk was missing from the right front of the light. I, of course, figured it was a total loss but surprised it didn’t look any worse. So I decided to check if it still worked.

Was I surprised when I pressed the ON button on the remote and the light came on, then more so when I saw all features work. Other than the lens, handle and a chunk out of the housing, it worked like a charm.

Thanks for making a product that does what it said it would do, plus well beyond what anyone could ever expect.

I have purchased several of your lights in the past for my department and will continue to buy more in the future.

Again thanks for such a great product.

BOBBY G REED


We were so smitten with Bobby”s kind words that we were inclined to send him a reconditioned unit to replace his original.

This spring, Golight, Inc. once again participated in the 2010 NTEA “Work Truck Show” held in St Louis. The show is “North America’s largest work truck event” with 475 exhibitors related to the industry. It is a great opportunity to see what’s new in trucks and accessories and to touch-base with many of our dealers, distributors and end user customers. We get to see folks from all over North America who we usually only talk with by telephone. I appreciate the work ethic, innovation and friendliness of our customers and the seeing all of the people and the products they have developed at Work Truck Show strengthens that admiration.
We introduced the Smithlight, portable area work light, to a receptive audience. The Smithlight is a handy work light with LED light heads and a rechargeable battery. It’s a lot of fun to show the light and listen to people brainstorm new applications for the light. The business applications for the utility, cable, telecom and rail industries are numerous but then people are thinking of uses at their homes, farms and recreational activities. For example, a utility line(wo)man mentioned how great it would be on their farm during calving season. I guess she had been up late the night before delivering calves and wishing for more light.
The truck industry is making many innovations related to the “green revolution.” To meet this demand for innovation, the lighting sector has moved to LED lighting technology for many applications. The LED typically has a lower power draw plus durability and longevity advantages. Golight, Inc. is moving that way, too, but with the HID (High Intensity Discharge) light coming first. Where our lights are typically used as search lights or spot lights for a long distance work, the HID has the power to project light a great distance. This summer we will introduce the HID version of our remote controlled lights. More information on the HID light from Golight, Inc. will be available soon. The LED version is next and that information is also forthcoming.
All of us with Golight are looking forward to talking with you about these new products as well as our current standard products. Some of the Trade shows we are attending in the next couple of months include:

• APWA Snow Conference in Omaha, April 18-20
• Tactical Vehicle Show in Washington DC, April 19-21
• FDIC in Indianapolis, April 22-24
• SOFIC in Tampa, June 15-17
• Global Petroleum Show in Calgary, June 8-10
• Eurosatory in Paris (not Texas), June 14-18
• EUFMC in Williamsburg, June 20-23

If we are lucky enough to have you at one of these trade shows, please stop by and say hello. Otherwise, call or drop us an email.

Spotlight on Golight: Social Marketing, Pilgrim Style

November 18, 2009

Here’s a conundrum. I’m writing on the Golight blog to proclaim that there is no better way to get to know people than to meet them face-to-face. I understand that both forms of communication serve a purpose.
I have been fortunate to visit some of our dealers around the country this past year and am regularly [...]
