CAST Lighting, a leading manufacturer of outdoor lighting products, announces the launch of a newly designed image gallery in its corporate website (www.cast-lighting.com). The new
gallery features an extensive navigation that allows the viewer to select images based on architectural style, lighting technique and other criteria.
Stephen Parrott, CAST's Media and Marketing Director, designed the gallery using Macromedia's Flash technology. He explains the concept behind the endeavor, "Over the past several years
we documented dozens of landscape lighting projects resulting in nearly 200 high resolution images. We wanted to make these images available to homeowners and lighting professionals in a
gallery that acts as both an educational and promotional tool."
Explaining the technical decisions involved, Mr. Parrott states, "Since a great majority of homeowners have high-speed Internet access and high-quality monitors, we felt comfortable with
the decision to go with large photos and Flash technology. This allowed us to create an interactive gallery that gives a truer experience of the visual impact of Landscape Lighting."
CAST Lighting is well known for its commitment to education. Founder and President David Beausoleil has been teaching landscape lighting installation and design for the past 12 years
through courses at Rutgers University and through hands-on seminars sponsored by CAST.
Beausoleil further explains the importance of the gallery, "Our new interactive gallery represents hundreds of hours in programming and development - time well spent since the result is
an extremely useful tool. We feel that presenting images in this way helps the entire industry; now, homeowners can better see the value of professionally designed landscape lighting and
experience its artistry."
The new interactive gallery can be viewed at the CAST Lighting website, www.cast-lighting.com.
