So, any news on effect over company sales to cooper?

[Afx]

As stated. Can you give anything out on the effects on control range? More resources, merging with another line?

Hi @Afx,

Just to confirm exactly what's happened, the lighting divisions of Eaton (5500 people in total, including the Zero 88 & iLight team) were "spun out" to create a separate standalone company called "Cooper Lighting Solutions" (CLS). Although we've reinstated the "Cooper" name of old, the newly created company is a very different company than before - focused purely on lighting.

Signify purchased CLS from Eaton, but Signify and CLS are run independently. 

For Zero 88 & iLight, apart from swapping the Eaton branding to CLS branding, and replacing the blue with some brighter colours, nothing else has changed - it's the same team, in the same locations, doing the same jobs!

Hope this clears things up,

Jon

Cheers for the quick response, hope that you use the time on your hands to beef up zeros8 dev. At least I for one am waiting for it.
