One thing that did stand out was the use of LED lighting. Lots of new introductions using the latest and greatest illumination to come along in a long time including the use of LEDs along the bottom side of a grab bar. Its from Cooper Industries and because of the low energy use and expected lifetime, it should be making its appearance in CCRCs, as well as residences.... making it ideal for adding a measure of safety when getting out of bed in the middle of the night and now having to turn on a light. GREAT !
You Don't Have To Give Up Style For Function. In additional to Great Grabz.com, a great resource for all types of high style grab bars, manufacturers are starting to realize the value of creating products for the Baby Boomers of the World. If you didn't get to NeoCon in Chicago on June 14-16th to see all the new products, you missed a great show. Lots of brighter crisper colors in both commercial and residential materials, fixtures and furnishings.
