H a rd wa re & H o u s e wa re s Re vi e w Tu e s d a y, M a y 6 , 2 0 1 4 2 0 WEIITA LED TUBE LIGHT: THE NEW GENERATION OF COMMERCIAL LIGHTING SOLUTION Weiita is introducing its flagship LED tube light at the 2014 National Hardware Show. This LED T8 Tube Light is the new generation of energy saving lighting solution. It lowers ener- gy consumption by 50 percent and increases longevity by 20x when com- pared to standard fluorescent tubes. One may ask: how is it different from the LED tube lights already on the market? Well, let us dissect the light and show you all the loaded features. Starting from the basic element, the light tube employs 96 pieces of genuine Nichia high-power LED modules mount- ed on one piece 48-inch, 1 mm-thick alloy circuit board, which is built on heavy-duty (210 g) pure 6063 aluminum alloy frame. This design makes the light shock-proof up to 2 meters, and helps to reduce heat significantly. No matter how long the light is turned on, the tube will not get over heated. The polycarbonate cover diffuses the light evenly for a full 270 degrees beam angle with no dark spot, and makes it look just like the traditional fluorescent tube. Moving inward to the core, the light is equipped with a solid state microchip power drive that lasts for its lifetime. It has a built-in isolated transformer for fire and electri- cal shock protection, as well as EMC/EMI chip that prevents interfer- ence with electromagnetic sensitive equipment such as those used in hospitals and research labs. Its tough polycarbon- ate end caps have chromium coated solid copper power pins that will fit right into your existing fixtures with minimal wiring adjustments. Now, the specs for techni- cal geeks – 20W±1 output, 4 feet in length, 100-277 V AC input, 105 lm/W output (4500K), CRI > 80, power fac- tor > 0.9. This product is UL-listed, CE and PSE certified, and the DesignLights Consortium qual- ified. This product comes with a five year prorated manufacture warranty, and what's more – end users are eligible for all U.S. state level energy efficiency rebate programs (approximately $10 - $20 rebate per light, varies by state).

THE COMPANION GROUP INTRODUCES THE PIZZAQUE By Niki Gross, Marketing Communications Manager PizzaQue – Portable Outdoor Pizza Oven The PizzaQue ® Portable Outdoor Pizza Oven is easily the best mobile pizza oven on the market. Its 27-pound frame makes it easy to transport and set up on a tail- gate or tabletop. PizzaQue pre-heats and is ready to cook in just 15 minutes and produces delicious, crispy pizza in six minutes. The Birth of PizzaQue The PizzaQue story began in 2007, when The Companion Group (TCG) first ven- tured into the world of pizza accessory design and development. It had already achieved great success in barbecue and grilling accessories, but also possessed a deep-rooted love for pizza. After creating a complete line of pizza-making tools and accessories, The Companion Group looked for a way to achieve the final step in making great pizza at home: baking it to crispy, chewy perfection. TCG brought its grilling expertise to bear in its search for a method of baking a pizza on the grill, but failed to find anything up to its standards. So, they invented the PizzaQue Pizza Stone Grill. Demand and excitement for the PizzaQue was so fan- tastic that they took it one step further. "Could we make our own portable pizza oven?" became the question amongst team members. The designers came up with proof of concept and decided yes, it could be done! From there, an exhaustive series of sketches, renderings, revisions and product tests began. After four major design changes, the team was successful, and the PizzaQue Portable Outdoor Pizza Oven was born! This portable oven gives you the same results as a wood-burning pizza oven, but without the size or cost. The PizzaQue pizza oven is small and portable, running on propane so you can bring it with you whether you're tailgat- ing, camping, picnicking or just cooking dinner in your own back- yard. It's as easy to use as any gas grill. PizzaQue includes a Perfect Pizza Grilling Stone that can accommo- date a 13-inch pie and dis- tributes heat for even cook- ing and a crispy crust. The vented lid allows moisture to escape, while the dome shape and inner heat shield redirects heat to cook your top- pings at the same rate as your crust. The oven can run on a 20-pound propane tank or a one-pound disposable tank with an adapter. Visit The Companion Group at booth 11207.

THE ULTIMATE CHARGING SOLUTION FROM POWERQUBE The POWERQUBE is a revolutionary electrical power and charging system that allows you to charge up to nine devices simultaneously through three USB ports and six electrical outlets. The POWERQUBE has a sleek and ele- gant design, meaning you don't have to try to hide it. It is compact enough that you can place it on your desk, confer- ence table, kitchen counter, nightstand or dorm room desk – anywhere you need power management and USB charging capabilities. At 5.5 inches by 2 inches, it can easily fit into your backpack or briefcase for on-the-go power needs. The POWERQUBE allows you to charge any three smart devices, includ- ing three iPads simultaneously, via any of the three USB ports. With five feet of cable and a flat wall plug, you can easi- ly plug in the POWERQUBE behind a desk or piece of furniture and still put the device directly on your desk, confer- ence table, counter-top or nightstand with ease, without the clutter of traditional power solutions. The charging tech- nology in the POW- ERQUBE is patent- pending, and truly revo- lutionary. The POW- ERQUBE SP (Smart Power) Technology enables each USB port to independently negotiate with each device that plugs into it, allowing for independent charging, specific to the device protocol as negotiated and deter- mined by the POWERQUBE. This is a true smart device for smart devices. The company has not identified any other device that has anything close to its SP Technology, which allows for independent negotiation with each device specific to manufacturer charg- ing specifications; other chargers on the market today are not sophisticated enough to have this capability. SP Technology determines the exact charging require- ments for each device. It does this individually for each device plugged into the POWERQUBE, isolat- ing each from the others. With the POW- ERQUBE, if you have a faulty device on one of the USB ports (bad phone, short- ed charging cord), it will not impact other devices. The company has yet to find a device it does not charge, includ- ing Chinese mainland brands and inter- national phones. Devices that will not work with most other chargers sold in the U.S. work perfectly with the POW- ERQUBE. The market opportunity for this technology and device is truly glob- al in scale.
