Customer Connects® Announces Innovative New LED Product

Combining Ottawa High Tech Ingenuity and Mother/Daughter Chutzpa

Ottawa — June 6, 2008 — Today, at the headquarters of Customer Connects® in Carleton Place, ON, 30 kilometers west of the nation’s capital, president and founder Linda Pond announced the product launch of Coghlan’s Cooler Light. Mother Linda and Daughter Rhonda Puckett, along with Ottawa engineer Dave Watson, are co-inventors of a product that no camping enthusiast should be without. A wireless, battery operated light consisting of a single Light Emitting Diode (LED) attaches to the inside lid of the camping cooler, and provides hands-free lighting to a normally darkened interior. Using sophisticated engineering, technology and components, the light automatically turns on when the lid is opened, and turns off when the lid is closed – just like your fridge.

LuminCity/Coghlans - Global Customer Signed

In April 2007, Linda flew to Winnipeg to introduce the working prototype of The Cooler Light to Rob Coghlan, owner of Coghlan’s Ltd, the leading global distributor of camping accessories. Mr. Coghlan loved the product, and his team provided much needed feedback to improve the design and customer interface of The Cooler Light. Coghlan’s Ltd and LuminCity Inc. signed an exclusive distribution agreement in May, 2007. Coghlan’s Cooler Light will be available at selected Wal-Mart Canada and Canadian Tire stores across the country, including Ottawa, this summer.

Cooler Light Product History

The Cooler Light, patent-pending, is the direct result of a Customer Connects® networking event that took place in August, 2005. In an effort to stimulate job creation, Ottawa’s high tech unemployed and underemployed, including members of the Kanata Kareer Group (KKG) and Ottawa Talent Initiative (OTI) were invited to participate in the first ever Customer Connects® NEEDS EVENT, located at the Kanata office of OTI. The objective of the NEEDS EVENT was to provide a platform for new ideas, and to get our Ottawa unemployed high tech community out of the basement and back into productive society.

A Family Affair

The NEEDS Event also used family ingenuity. Not only are Linda and Rhonda mother and daughter, they are also the catching and pitching duo for Team NAPA of the Carleton Place Ladies Fastball League. As Rhonda was reaching into the darkened cooler for her favorite beverage, she exclaimed, “Here’s a NEED for your event tomorrow, Mom…. This cooler NEEDS a light”. Indeed it did.

Rhonda’s NEED was introduced at the NEEDS event as an example of what was meant by a market need. After participants brainstormed 36 other NEEDS, the Cooler Light was chosen as a project that could be developed and perhaps even taken to market. Dave Watson, an event participant, produced the first prototype the very next day.
