NEW ORLEANS, LA (05.08.24) – ORACLE Lighting today announced it has completed a an asset acquisition of LumaMedia International Inc. located in Las Vegas, NV. LumaMedia is the country’s leading innovator of Electroluminescent Signage, which is a thin, flexible glowing panel that can be used a variety of industries and applications. Assets in this acquisition include the LumaMedia International Trademarks, Logos, Websites, URLs, Digital Assets, and Social Media Networks.

LumaMedia is best known for developing impactful advertising signage with the ability to capture attention like nothing else. LumaMedia first developed an innovative, multi-purpose product whose applications are as wide as your imagination. Users can use these custom-made signs to light up a variety of surface spaces with this exclusive electroluminescent illumination that these specialized panels provide. The LumaMedia products are easily powered and transform everything from product displays to vehicles into vividly eye-catching illuminated marketing materials. See more information at www.lumamediaintl.com.

The LumaMedia product is a form of inorganic electroluminescence which utilizes an extruded polyester substrate that vividly glows when a current is applied. In other words, it’s a thin, colorful graphic that can light up making it stand out. This technology has many practical automotive applications but can also be applied to everything from banners, to clothing, to walls and everything in-between. The LumaMedia concept takes standard graphics and evolves them into vivid, radiant images that are extremely eye catching.

“We plan to use this acquisition to further expand our offerings in the Electroluminescent manufacturing space” says Justin Hartenstein, the Founder and Director of Product Development for ORACLE Lighting, “While we have offered these types of products to the Motorsport industry for years now, we plan to push into new markets such as illuminated vehicle wraps, commercial signage, marine applications, and illuminated trade show exhibit signage.” See more of ORACLE’s illuminated EL Panels and Signage at http://www.OracleLights.com/logos

Although it is not as widely recognized as LED, Electroluminescence (EL) is arguably the most efficient light source in the world. Thinner than a business card, these peel-and-stick panels use a UV ink-receptive polyester substrate to project eye-catching electroluminescence, making it a unique and head-turning solution for advertising and marketing displays. Whether you’re a business owner who needs bold signage, a promotional products distributor looking for unique marketing offerings, or a race team looking to stand out from the pack, EL panels may be a great solution for you.

Many Jeepers at Jeep Beach drove home enjoying their new Alpine systems.

Roy Meyer, Alpine East Coast Regional Manager, related “We had 4 great teams working together including Alpine, Soundwaves of Tampa, DOW Technologies and Dynamic Marketing to deliver another very successful Alpine Jeep event. The Teams at Soundwaves of Tampa and DOW Technologies provided incredible installation, inventory management and organizational skills. The Alpine/DOW sales team kept the install bays full all weekend with every Jeeper smiling in excitement to use their new Alpine system.”

Continuing Meyer offered “Sadly we were missing one person this year, Rob DeCrane of Soundwaves. We all knew Rob was still there in spirit watching over us and making sure everything ran flawlessly.”

Peter Ruiz, Soundwaves of Tampa Owner stated “This year’s Jeep Beach was another terrific booth to connect with Jeepers and drive sales. We had a total of 11 staff members on site making sales and performing installations. In fact we utilized 4 install bays in the NASCAR Garage area and they were packed. We thank Alpine, DOW and our super rep firm Dynamic Marketing and John Schneid. We look forward to Jeep Beach 2025.

The DOW Technologies crew on site at Jeep Beach included Dave Elkin, Mike Hurwitz, Mike Barcia and Justin Roberts, who were on site managing inventory and supporting all of the sales and installation activities with Soundwaves of Tampa.

Two Alpine 2018 Jeep® Wrangler demo vehicles wiere on-site, featuring the i509-WRA-JL, a 9-inch Weather-Resistant Digital Media Receiver with Hi-Res Audio Playback. The unit was intentionally designed with the Jeep® driver in mind to visually emulate the design identity of the Jeep® interior and retain the features Jeep® drivers use the most. Other features, like wireless and wired Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Hi-Resolution Playback (96kHz/ 24Bit), and one of the industry-first SiriusXM-Ready® head units enhanced with 360L and Hi-Res music streaming with TIDAL, make this the ultimate upgrade for the Jeep® driver.

A premium Dash Camera DVR-C320R with built-in drive assist and impact recording was also be installed to showcase the head unit pairing capabilities of the i509-WRA-JL. An Alpine PSS-24WRA sound system, with front 6.5” component speakers, 6.5” rear custom soundbar replacement speakers, 8” compact powered subwoofer, and 4-channel amplifier was featured for in-vehicle sound upgrade demonstrations as well as an Alpine Weather-Resistant PSS-SX01 Sound System mounted to the roll bars to demonstrate exterior sound upgrade opportunities.

Alpine’s 2015 Jeep® Wrangler was-site with similar Jeep®-specific solutions designed for older Jeep® Wranglers, including the i509-WRA-JK, DVR-C320R, PSS-22WRA Weather-Resistant Sound System, PSS-SX01, and HCE-TCAM1-WRA Spare Tire Rear-View Camera and Light System.

All event visitors were encouraged to visit the Alpine booth and take advantage of the special, event-only deals and on-site installation services during the event.

DAYTONA BEACH, FL (05.01.24) – The Annual Jeep Beach Event in Daytona Beach last weekend has set new records in attendance. This City-Wide event spans nine days with sub-events throughout the county; featuring camping, trail rides, beach parade, a poker run, and so much more. The event culminates in a two-day extravaganza inside the Daytona International Speedway (DIS). With over 70,000 spectators in attendance, and over 5000 Jeeps parked in the infield, hundreds of vendors, including auto sound companies and their retailers, show to a plethora of consumers.

Soundcrafters, Daytona’s Car Audio Powerhouse, is deeply involved with the event. Soundcrafters Owner, Paul Papadeas coordinates the IASCA Team to perform a Jeep Soundoff and Lighting Competitions, AKA: Jeep Beats. This happens at the Wednesday Night Tailgate at DIS alongside the International Speedway Blvd., complete with a multitude of vendors, a show and shine, entertainment, and food court. The IASCA Team promotes the auto sound experience to this group of car audio neophytes.

In addition to coordinating the Soundoff, Soundcrafters sets up a 3000 sq ft shop inside the speedway and occupies several installation bays of the NASCAR garages to perform installations. “This year”, Papadeas states, “we hit record sales. The big deal for us was the new Rockford Fosgate Stage 5 Systems. We installed several of these, it was a no-brainer as we had both Gladiator and Wrangler set up for demonstrations; these systems are very impressive. Along with those, we stayed true to our protocol of designing great systems across the brands we sell. Speaking as the owner and producer of the Spring Break Nationals, the event that opened many consumer eyes to car audio, the auto sound industry should attend next year’s Jeep Beach event. There are several brands showing at the event, but not as many as there should be. Jeep Beach in Daytona is a huge opportunity for our industry to influence this “new wave” of consumers with the means to outfit their ‘toys’.

HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA (04.29.24) – Atlantic Car Stereo first came to the attention of the 12volt Central Studios at the recent CMA Expo in Toronto. Six members of their team traveled 1100 miles from from Halifax to Toronto for the 3-day Expo. When checking out their Instagram post it became apparent they have taken the in-store experience to the next level.

Periodically, the full graphic on the store door is changed. The newest graphic celebrates the company”s 40th Anniversary. The previous graphic brought attention to the remote starter season.

Once inside the store consumers are greeted with a tremendous layout in the showroom and other adjacent areas. Recent showroom additions have included a number of large monitors which can be changed digitally to showcase different graphics and specials.

Each area of the store, including the installation area, is spotless. Even the parking lot in the shopping center is maintained daily.

The Atlantic Car Stereo team that travel to Toronto included owners Sarah and Darrell Russell, owners, Trevor Horning-Shop Manager, Amy Bowler-Sales, Chris Francis- Sales and Cullen Courtney-Installation Tech.

Sarah related “Our team thoroughly enjoyed all parts of the CMA Expo…the networking, the training, the parties and the demo vehicles. We closed the store for the trip and had very detailed plans that each member of our team would do to maximize our investment. We learned a lot of information that will help us better serve our customers. The DSP training, Sales training and hands on fabrication were our favorites. Vehicles are becoming more complicated as even base models are equipped with technologies, such as ANC, so having the skills and tools do our job is a must.”

Sarah’s Father Dan Scott MacLean opened the store in 1984. Sarah has been in the 12volt industry since 1997 and with Darrell owner since 2020.

Concluding "The CMA team of Frank, Ben and crew along with all the distributors and vendors on site did a great job for the   mobile electronics industry across Canada. Atlantic Car Stereo thanks all and we look forward to the CMA Expo in 2025.”
