I accepted a new position with Evoralight as their national sales director. Evoralight produces premium quality linear LED tape, drivers and accessories. I'm in the process of setting up dealer programs and their go to market plans. If you check out our site, this is only the newly released products that have made it to the site. There are a lot more products coming out of testing adding to the site through the end of April.

Question: How much of your business comes from new construction vs. remodel?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Everyone I have been speaking with are busier than ever. Glad to hear for all of you.

Jeff

Hey, congrats...was wondering...did you see a decline in HDMI matrix sales?

50/50 new and old construction for me. I'm in a small ski town 2 hours North of Toronto. Weekenders have moved into their chalet or building new permanent homes. It's been insane.

Hey Jeff,

Congrats on the new position. We have two locations and our one location is probably 70/30 New to Retro however our other location up by mrtristan will be the flipped and closer to 40/60. Being an electrical contractor and LV installer having more solutions for accent lighting (especially exterior rated LV lighting) is huge and not easy to find. Are you able to sell/supply us up here in the great white north?
You can't fix stupid

Yes. Centralized distribution of video is/was changing fast. Roku, AppleTV and apps are getting better all the time. Traditional matrix projects are now being serviced by IP based systems over fixed matrix solutions for pretty much everything at or over 8X8. The company that bought Zektor could not get HDMI over IP out in the time they promised and still not out today. Then at the same time immediately discontinuing products of Zektor's that were selling. This along with declining customer support, reduced warranty periods and much more, but us a nearly impossible position to compete. It was time for me to waive goodbye.

50/50 new and old construction for me. I'm in a small ski town 2 hours North of Toronto. Weekenders have moved into their chalet or building new permanent homes. It's been insane.

New construction/major remodel, 5k square feet + 80% with average project value >$50k
Existing construction 20%

Typical new construction almost always includes Lutron lighting control. Looking at adding lighting (dmf downlighting, specifically) to our product offering. Would be interested in tape light for our upcoming projects if compatible with Lutron QS triac dimmers.

Please feel free to solicit me.
