Compact Fluorescent

We recently added Compact Fluorescent bulbs to our website.

If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars. - EnergyStar

Califone® Introduces First MP3 Player Designed Specifically for Students and Educators

Audio Technology and Volume Control Built to Ensure Student Safety


San Fernando, CA — The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders asserts that more than 30 million Americans are exposed to hazardous sound levels on a regular basis. To ensure that students use safe technology in the classroom, Califone International, Inc., introduces the first MP3 Player designed specifically for school use.
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) recently tested popular MP3 devices and found that they all produce sound well above the maximum recommended safety level of 85 decibels. As many studies have found that irreparable hearing loss can result from high levels of noise over extended periods of time, Califone designed its MP3 player to meet the ASHA recommended decibel-level (the only manufacturer to do so) through its innovative Sentinel™ technology.
“Our goal in creating the MP3 Player is to provide educators with an accessible technology which enhances instruction and prepares students for the 21st century,” said Tim Ridgway, Vice President of Marketing for Califone. “Students are increasingly comfortable with the technology of personal MP3 players, but we wanted to ensure the Califone model sets the education industry standard for technical innovation and student safety.”
The technology behind the Sentinel™ feature enables teachers to set the maximum audio allowed to 85 decibels, which is one of three recommended guidelines contained within the ASHA-sponsored Our America: Tuned In Today . . But Tuned Out Tomorrow? campaign (http://www.listentoyourbuds.org/). The aim of the campaign is to educate and encourage the responsible (student) use of personal audio technology.
Another educator-driven feature on the Califone MP3 player is its built-in electret microphone, enabling student-created podcasting. Podcasting meets California NETS Technology Standard #4 (and similar standards in other states) as follows: Students use telecommunications to collaborate, publish, and interact with peers, experts, and other audiences; Students use a variety of media and formats to communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences.
The easy-to-use MP3 player hosts an industry-first dual headphone jacks, making it ideal for learning centers, language labs and libraries as it allows two headphones to be used simultaneously during shared activities. The company’s teacher-tested 3060AVS headphones are standard equipment with the MP3 player, which was calibrated for use with these acclaimed headphones in part because of their ambient noise-reducing feature, which is the second recommendation within the Our America: Tuned In Today . . But Tuned Out Tomorrow? campaign. (The third component of the drive encourages students to limit listening time).
The MP3 Player is made with rugged ABS plastic for durability and classroom safety. Available this fall, the unit comes with the unique Califone warranty, covering school, early childhood center and library uses � a guarantee typically not available for products purchased from consumer electronics stores. It also will be available as the industry’s first MP3 learning center.
