Blue Kangaroo adds PSB speakers to the lineup
Naples, FL, May 15, 2006
Blue Kangaroo announced today the addition of PSB speakers as a key product offering, enhancing previous offerings of Infinity, Speakercraft, NHT, Atlantic Technology, and ELAN.
“PSB speakers are not yet an everyday household name, but consistently receive stellar professional reviews and have received numerous industry awards. Their broad product line provides a good/better/best selection of bookshelf speakers, on-wall speakers, and architectural speakers. Even before taking on the line, we were impressed with their performance whenever we found them already in use. Client satisfaction is very high which is the ultimate test,” said Jack Decloedt, Blue Kangaroo partner.

Blue Kangaroo earns Lutron Homeworks Interactive certification

Lutron Electronics, Inc. today honored Blue Kangaroo with the tightly-controlled Homeworks Interactive dealer certification. This came at the completion of an intensive training at Lutron's headquarters in Coopersburg, PA. The opportunity to join this elite group of dealers was earned through over 2 years of excellence as RadioRA Preferred Systems Providers and completion of a substantial number of systems.
After earning the certification, Blue Kangaroo partner Karl Fry said “With RadioRA and now Homeworks, we can offer the proper lighting control solution to clients in all sizes of home and income level. Homeworks offers both wireless and hard-wired solutions and builds upon the capabilities of RadioRA. Homeworks is laptop-programmed and capable of controlling over 4000 sets of lights as well as two-way integration with advanced control systems such as ELAN, AMX, and Crestron.

Marantz, ELAN, and Sunfire added to Blue Kangaroo menu
Naples, FL, October 11, 2005
Blue Kangaroo announced today the addition of several key product offerings and vendor partnerships over the past six months. Marantz becomes the company's primary line of audio-video components such as audio-video receivers, DVD, and CD players. Marantz products offer a rare 3-year warranty and focus on quality of internal amplification and audio/video processing, rather than flashy consumer marketing. Sunfire adds a more upscale level of amplification, pre-amplification and audio/video processing, and unique line of subwoofers, including some of the most heralded compact subwoofers on the market. ELAN offers a comprehensive product line and has been a pioneer in whole-house music for over a decade. Their Via touchpanels represent the most capable color touchpanels at the sub-$2000 pricepoint. When used with ELAN's multi-room controllers, clients enjoy full video capability right on the touchpanel (with invisible button overlays) as well as single-point integration with HVAC, security, lighting, CCTV cameras, pool/spa, AM/FM/XM tuners, and music/media servers, and more.

Blue Kangaroo finds a new home in the Trade Center area
Naples, FL, August 1, 2005
Blue Kangaroo moved in today to their new home on J&C Blvd in the Trade Center area of Naples. “Our new office is not intended to be a fancy showroom but it is very functional and provides necessary space for conference meetings with clients and partners, demonstration of control solutions, office space for partners and employees, and a warehousing area for equipment destined for clients' homes. This office supports our low-overhead stature and “just-in-time” inventory strategy. Clients shouldn't have to pay for our fancy accommodations or be sold outdated equipment from an overloaded inventory,” said BK partner, Karl Fry.
The office is open “by chance or by appointment” as Blue Kangaroo partners and employees all work in the field also to deliver client solutions.

For immediate release:
Blue Kangaroo announces the retirement of the Plain Old Light Switch
Naples, October 13, 2003
125 years after the invention of the electric light bulb, the Plain Old Light Switch is finally heading for well-deserved retirement.
For many years, high-end homes have been built with wired systems allowing homeowners to turn on, off, or dim any combination of lights from anywhere in the home with one touch on a keypad or control. More recent wireless systems have now matured and can be affordably installed into homes of any age, size, or price range.
Blue Kangaroo is an innovative local company with a mission to bring One-Touch Home Illumination™ solutions to every home in Southwest Florida. According to Jack
Decloedt, one of the company's founders, "there is absolutely no reason left why any homeowner who values security, comfort, or lifestyle should believe lighting control is only for the very wealthy or sophisticated. Today's systems are affordable, intuitive to use, easily expandable, and install quickly without re-wiring. It's a win-win scenario. Our customers retain the ability to control lights with existing switches while gaining the ability to dim every light and to activate coordinated scenes of lighting throughout the home with one button press." Industry data showing lighting control as the second-fastest growing home technology, closely following home theater, supports Blue Kangaroo's claim that One-Touch Home
Illumination™ will soon be considered a must-have in every quality home.
Blue Kangaroo is the first company in Southwest Florida to focus on lighting control for existing homes. "It is time for a home technology company to take care of customers who love their current home," says Karl Fry, Blue Kangaroo's other founder. "We can take homeowners out of the 'Dark Ages.' We show them how to unlock the potential of their home's lighting for improved safety, security, comfort, convenience, and style… compelling benefits for everyone: seniors, families, single women... As an example, you can activate a pathway of welcoming lights inside and outside your home from your car as you pull into the driveway. But we do more than making sure our customers never have to walk into a dark house again: we bring the best practices of our many years of business experience. We want them to not only secure and simplify their lives with our systems, but also to enjoy every contact with Blue Kangaroo."
Now that a single touch can activate perfect lighting throughout our homes, that Plain Old Light Switch may join the typewriter, rotary dial phone, and vinyl records in retirement sooner than we thought.
