SOLAR REVOLUTION™

The light mover for the next millennium

Congratulations!

You have just purchased the most state of the art, high per-

formance, circular light mover ever offered to our industry–the SOLAR REVOLUTION™.
I embarked on the concept of the Solar Revolution™ over 2 years ago primarily out of
displeasure with what the industry had to offer. Customers kept asking me, “why can’t
somebody build a reliable circular mover that is extremely durable but also user friend-
ly?” At that moment the Solar Revolution™ was conceived. Now two years and several
designs later, the Solar Revolution™ has arrived.
