First, there was lampwork.
My wife Evelyn started doing lampwork a few years ago she took to it like a natural. Then everyone wanted her beads! So she founded "evvybeads" and started selling her beautiful work.
Then there was light. Really BAD light!
Then we started exhibiting at craft and bead shows. Outdoor shows were OK, but convention center & gymnasium lighting made all the artists’ treasures look like dull, boring rocks!
We searched, but there weren't any systems available for the small exhibitor; just big expensive systems aimed at Fortune 500 companies. We got tired of clamping bulky & fragile desk lamps to our tables and tripping
over a tangle of power cords. Some blogs urged modifying halogen track lighting, but there were no "turnkey" solutions out there.
Then there was the CaberLight!
So we designed a portable, simple lighting system & kept improving it. On seeing "Version 3" at a show in Las Vegas a fellow artist offered to buy a system if it would fold up and fit in her luggage.
Like many artists, she often flies to shows and wanted to avoid special shipping. We met her challenge and she took delivery in May 2011. CaberLight was born!
The Mantis:
In early 2012 we introduced an easier to use, more robust version of our first halogen lighting system. We named it “The Mantis” since it looks like a praying mantis when you unfold it during set-up (see the Mantis Real Time Video HERE.) Many Mantises are in use throughout the US and Canada.
The LadyBug:
By 2012, LEDs became available which gave a natural color to lampwork beads without the sickly yellowish or icy bluish cast. We developed and introduced the LadyBug (sticking to the theme of beneficial insects) which is up to 2 feet tall, modular, runs on either 12 VDC or a plug-in 100/240VAC adapter and is equivalent to a 50W halogen light.
The Super LadyBug:
Some customers needed a taller LED system for taller vertical displays, so in 2013 we developed the 3-foot-tall Super LadyBug which produces twice the light of the LadyBug (100W halogen equivalent.)
To date, hundreds of LadyBugs and Super LadyBugs are being used throughout North America, along with many Mantis systems. We also are continuing to develop new products as the needs of our customers change.
Thanks for your interest in CaberLight's products. We hope that CaberLight’s products will meet your need for craft show display lighting by highlighting your creations.
