Gordon will focus on global sales for the EverOn; the KeOn; the RelyOn; and the newly introduced FocusOn "for sale sign" illumination product.

He has a history of increasing market penetration through establishing new channel partnerships and growing business with national retail stores. Most recently, he was with United Storage Technologies as Vice President of Sales/Business Development where he maintained partnerships with major retailers including Wal-Mart and Sam's Club and also brought in new distribution channel partners. Prior to United Storage Technologies, Gordon was with American Tack & Hardware where he led sales and customer service, growing the sales revenue from $48 million to $88 million.

The EverOn uses the latest solid-state lighting technology using four AA batteries and is 90 percent more energy efficient than conventional incandescent flashlights. During a blackout, EverOn provides more light and is much safer than a candle. Designed originally to provide homeowners with portable, long-lasting, emergency lighting during the hurricane season, the EverOn is a sturdy, virtually indestructible lighting product that provides over 60 hours of comfortable room-filling light on the medium setting and over 30 hours of bright white light on the highest setting, all in a 7-inch by 3.5- inch by 2.4-inch package.
The patented RelyOn ultra-bright light with power plant is a powerful, water-resistant and portable LED lighting system designed to provide a perpetual and rechargeable light source during the most extreme conditions, including power grid failures caused by natural or man-made disasters. The innovative RelyOn product is one of the most reliable and powerful lighting solutions available for power blackouts, hurricane season and general work lighting.
The KeOn with Built-In LED Light is a modern lighting solution for anyone who owns keys. Each KeOn features a pliable neoprene cap that fits snugly around standard key heads. The LED light is activated by gently pressing the cap between thumb and forefinger. The KeOn is practically weightless and eliminates bulk from your key-ring. The KeOn can direct a beam of bright light down the key shaft onto walkways, stairways, doors and locksets.
The FocusOn™ operates on 4 D-Cell batteries, lighting both sides of the sign. Using a microprocessor controlled timer, the lights operate for 4 hours per night for more than 30 days on one set of batteries. The FocusOn™ features two light heads that fold out to an optimum lighting distance from the sign's face and contain two super-bright energy-efficient solid-state LEDs that illuminate the sign. The unit is encased in a waterproof cylinder that is secured to the horizontal sign support with a clamp channel and plastic tie straps.
