Lot’s of excitement here at Cool Neon for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony.

First you will see miles of Cool Neon Wire on these fabulous costumes by Michael Curry of Michael Curry Design, and it should be spectacular.

And then we are excited that Visa will be debuting their commercial in the Opening that features an epic LED ski suit, made by Benny. The suit was made for Olympic hopeful Torin Yater-Wallace, and we think you will love it.

In homage to these amazing costumes and the ski suit in the Visa commercial, we’re offering a sale of 20′ Plug and Play Units and Harnesses and White LED Single Densityand Double Density 5-meter rolls — both brand new items.

Who knew that our little company in Oakland, Cool Neon, would be shining at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony. We think it is going to be a pretty exciting evening. We will be watching, and we hope you will be too!

coachella betterCoachella lights up at night, and you have 65 days before all that light and music. We know that festival general admission passes are sold out, so we have a hunch that some of you must be getting ready right now.  We thought you might to know what our ideas are for lighting up the night where you are at Coachella:

Pocket Plasma.  A disc of plasma light that reacts to music
Rainbow Tassles.  a burst of all 10 of our High Bright and Hella Phat colors
Fuze Necklaces.  polished quartz necklaces that radiate a spectrum of light.
Cool Neon Sunglasses
Look at all of our Instant Gratification Cool Neon items for wire that’s ready to wear.

And here are a couple more possibilities:

Our 5ft plug and play unit. 10ft and 20ft options are available too.

For more advanced costumes our total control lighting paired with a gateway controller.

Rainbow Tassles will need a driver.  We suggest the AA Handheld driver.
Pocket Plasmas, drivers, and Plug & Play kits will need batteries.

Hope you have a wonderful time, and send us photos of YOU having fun with your Cool Neon lighting, please…

They will discuss what is changing in the TV ecosystem, what is remaining the same, and how can we use this information to make TV better in the future.

The focus will be on systems designed to be truly interactive.
