St. Louis, MO (December 26, 2007) — With an ever expanding marketing arsenal and the continual progression of SELECT products Lighting One, the specialty lighting cooperative continues to expand.

At its recent convention in Glendale, Arizona, Lighting One successfully launched its SELECT collections for 2008. Those exclusively designed collections include seven complete families with looks that include traditional, transitional, and European. In addition, there are 2 outdoor families with high-end styles and a complete bath collection. To round out the series, Lighting One added new products and finishes to a few existing families in order to achieve different looks and complete the line.

Lighting One is currently placing the final touches on their heavily coveted catalog. In addition to SELECT, the 2008 catalog will feature over 27 additional new families to its core product line, which includes additional Exclusive items, Energy Star® collections, Title 24 Lanterns, as well as an assortment of energy efficient CFL's.

This year Lighting One will also be offering a 64-page Magalog devoted exclusively to the SELECT products. All of the products featured in this high-end catalog will be exclusive to Lighting One showrooms, eliminating the opportunity of having these beautifully designed products to be shopped with other retail showrooms. The SELECT products showcased offer the highest overall benefit to the Lighting One member, including tremendous rebates and a salesperson incentive program.

“Our members are seeing increases in their gross profit margins through the SELECT product, even during the current economic conditions,” says Mike Cherico president of Lighting One.
