St John Group Selected For ISky Panels

Leading Specialty Distribution and Marketing Firm to Distribute Innovative Star Field Ceiling Lighting Panel System

February 19, 2007

Fiberoptic Studio Corporation, the creators of iSky Panel Systems, has appointed StJohn Group as the North American distributor for their innovative lighting panel products. The iSky product line, featuring star field ceiling panels and innovative LED lighting options that are targeted for the professional A/V installer, is a perfect complement to the high performance brands already in the StJohn Group stable. Established in 1996, StJohn Group represents leading brands Screen Research, Cabasse and Artcoustic to more than 600 specialty dealer/installers throughout North America. iSky Panel Systems delivers a technically advanced, cost-effective lighting system in a package that is both simple and fast to install. As a result of the exclusive low voltage iSky Star Engine, embedded into each panel for simple daisy-chain wiring, lighting effects mimic the random glimmer and color temperature of starlight for visual impact unlike any other system on the market. For fast, easy installation, iSky Panel Systems employs a simplified screw-in method combining the ease of acoustic panel installation with the fiber optic star ceiling effect. The iSky solution secures easily to finished dry wall or drops directly into grid ceilings so it can be utilized in most installations. Cloud installations by which the panels are hung by chains can also be specified. Dimensions of 24”, 30” and 48” square allow for ultimate flexibility in panel arrangement and coverage, with custom models available upon request. Up to 50 panels can be wired from one common low voltage “wall-wart” power supply. iSky panels however provide more than just a dramatic, visual benefit. The panels’ premium fiberglass materials, from a leading, national producer, also ensure enhanced acoustical treatment and optimized sound quality in virtually any environment. StJohn Group president, Kevin Leja stated, “iSky Panels is one of the most exciting concepts we have come across in years and that enthusiasm is shared by our dealers. The initial response has been tremendous. To help convey the unique iSky concept, we have a handy demo kit that we supply our sales representatives that effectively shows the many benefits of this unique system. We believe that the iSky Panel System and the complementary, but versatile, uRay LED lighting products in the line, will create exciting new possibilities for our dealers and their customers.” Jeff Graham, president of Fiberoptic Studio Corp, added, “We are delighted to partner with StJohn Group and benefit from their long established relationships, extensive knowledge of the market and experience in the CI channels. iSky Panel Systems perfectly complement their solutions-based approach, ‘technology for the designed environment’.” StJohn Group is now taking orders for iSky Panels that begin shipping this month. uRay LED lighting items are shipping now.
