Lex Products is pleased to announce the launch of http://www.powerrampsbylex.com/, a new website devoted to educating our customers on the quality and value of Lex Products’ 5-Channel heavy-duty PowerRAMPS®. These cable crossovers are used in the entertainment, industrial, shipyard, and military markets to protect cables and hoses from heavy traffic by pedestrians and vehicles.

“Our cable ramps are unique to other brands, our center channel is wide and deep enough to accommodate 5 wire banded #2 AWG type SC cables for example. We felt that a website dedicated to informing consumers about the value these ramps bring to any worksite or entertainment events was important”, states Jack Hogarth – Product Manager at Lex Products.

One of Chicago’s grandest Catholic churches is illuminated by lighting design students of The Theatre School at DePaul University

With a mission to train the next generation of theatre artists in all disciplines, The Theatre School at DePaul University in Chicago had lighting design students illuminate St. Vincent de Paul Parish church in storytelling visuals and used an assortment of Elation lighting products supplied by Protolight, Inc. (http://www.protolight.com/) as their lighting tools. The 30-minute displays were presented May 20-22.

Dedicated in 1897, St. Vincent de Paul Parish church is an architecturally significant building and one of Chicago’s grandest Catholic churches. Students enveloped the façade’s rounded windows and doorways, and two stately bell towers, in moving and static images inspired by artists Leonid Afremov, AJ LaGasse, Vincent van Gogh, and Mary-Anne Papanek Miller, professor and chair of art, media and design at DePaul. The students crafted each display to interpret the artist’s unique sensibilities into the world of lighting design.
