2010-03-18

Madera, CA - March 18, 2010 - B-K Lighting and TEKA Illumination would like to congratulate the Grand Prize Winner of the SmartSweepstakes – Sales Representative Peter Veren of NRG Sales in Ankeny, Iowa.

Veren was selected as the Grand Prize Winner during a drawing held at the B-K Lighting Manufacturing Plant in Madera, California on Friday, March 12th.

“What a great surprise. I had no idea that just doing my job would pay off in such a big way. I can’t wait to cruise around with all my friends,” said Veren. “Thanks to everyone at B-K Lighting and TEKA Illumination.”

The SmartSweepstakes, open to all B-K Lighting and TEKA Illumination Manufacturer Sales Representatives and Specifiers, kicked off in April 2009. Sales Representatives earned entries by showcasing newly released products to potential clients. While each presentation resulted in one ‘monthly’ entry for the Sales Representative and his/her Specifier, Grand Prize entries were earned by showcasing all new product offerings. Those products included B-K Lighting’s new Mini DriveStar™/iLume™Series, the updated Univeral Power Module™ and Teka Illumination’s High Light Series.

As the Grand Prize Winner of the SmartSweepstakes, Veren will receive a brand new Smart ForTwo Coupe.

“I was introduced to the Smart Car during a business trip in Europe. I was very impressed with the
engineering and wanted to include one in a sales contest give-away,” said Doug Hagen, President and CEO of B-K Lighting and TEKA Illumination. “It’s an economical and environmentally sound vehicle that’s perfect for Peter to use in future sales calls.”

Additional winners included:
· 1st Prize - Segway® Personal Transporter - John Jacobsen of Schuler Shook in Chicago, Illinois
· 2nd Prize – Two Mountain Bikes - Michael Lindsey of Horton Lees Brogden Lighting Design in Los Angeles, California

The winners were drawn before a group of nearly 100 people attending and/or participating in the 2010 Pi Class of B-K University held from March 11-14, 2010.
