Serving both B-K Lighting and TEKA Illumination as Manufacturing Manager, Nathan Sloan has been with the companies for over 15 years and has served in many capacities during that time.  He was promoted to his current position in 2011.

Nathan recently participated in Yosemite High School's Alumni Baseball Game. Since he graduated in 1998 he found himself filling out Center Field on the "Old Timers" roster. His team proved that they weren't only relevant but dominant in a big 3-0 victory over the "Young Guns." 

Custom designs don't always have to be radical to look great and stand out from a standard fixture series.

Based on the timeless SWM stem mounted wall luminaire, the c1966-17 measures a full 12" in height , 8 1/2" in depth and 5" diameter.  The copper mesh screen has been removed and the pure copper rings evenly spaced giving it a light and elegant appearance.
