    SMOKING
    January 11, 1964 - Surgeon General, U.S.A.

    The U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry, announced the results of a study on the health effects of smoking, ordered by President Kennedy in 1962. As America's first widely publicized official recognition of the dangers, it stated “Cigarette smoking is a health hazard of sufficient importance in the United States to warrant appropriate remedial action.” The report reviewed over 7,000 articles in medical journals, and concluded that cigarette smoking was a cause of lung and larynx cancer and chronic bronchitis. Male cigarette smokers were 1,000 times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers. In 1965, the U.S. Congress required to print health warnings on cigarette packages.

    STAINLESS STEEL
    January 11, 1820 - Steel industry

    As the steel industry was making huge technological advances, chemists tried to create a rustproof, or stainless steel. A French metallurgist observed that when carbon steel was combined with an alloy like chrome, it did yield a rust-resistant metal. A century would pass before two British scientists continued his work and, in 1913, Europe was introduced to stainless steel. Its smooth, hard surface doesn't trap dirt, bacteria or molds - and today, stainless steel is used in everything from silverware and jewelry to spacecraft.

In considering discount lighting, the price is not the decisive factor. In making final decision, advantages should be on top of the lowered price. For example, determine whether other factors such as sales tax, shipping price and the return or refund policy are part of the agreement.

First, it is wise to know the reasons for having discounts. Is there a season or occasion? Manufacturers of lights rarely offer discounts directly to their customers. They usually leave that prerogative to their authorized dealers and retailers. However, at occasions when they indeed grant discounts, consumers are likely to benefit fully because the middle party is not part of the deal.

Discount lighting is a way to promote the brands? quality especially when it is still new. It does not connote that lights with discounted prices are of inferior quality. At most, discounts are given as part of marketing strategy of a store particularly when competition is very tough at their area or at the place of their target market.

Local stores that are labeled as salvage store because of their junky appearance could be a great location for shopping for your fixtures. However, if you cannot find one in your local area, you can still shop for discounted pendant lights or wall lights at department store. The ones which are having a closing sale, last items sales, payday sale are great chances to catch discount lighting.

Discount Lighting is a term given to lighting system at discounted prices. There are several reasons for having this. For one thing, it sets the competition to a friendly level. Today, there are hundreds of manufacturers that offer their lighting products. Selling lights at discount puts them upfront.

Shipment fees and sales tax are a significant consideration. Are you really having leverages buying the most coveted discount lighting for your kitchen from an online shop even when you have to cover for the shipping fees? What if the merchandise disappoints you when it arrived at your location?

If you place your orders direct to the manufacturers, there could be readily available items with discounts or there could be not. Materials, demands and labor force are among the many considerations of every manufacturing company.

However, bear in mind that not all manufacturers sell directly to the customers. At most, they have authorized retailers that decide the discount amount of the merchandise. Lighting manufacturers themselves cannot impose fix amount of discounted price. It is the sole discretion of a retailer. Buying discount lighting direct from the manufacturers is a rare opportunity that reaps economical benefits because the middle man (which is normally the retailer) is out in the scenario.

Fierce competition in the industry is another reason why stores are giving discounts. This is especially true when there are several lighting stores in one area. To be on top of the others, they offer discount lighting to attract customers and to increase their sales. At times, the advantages are great because quality is not compromised.
