After nearly 18 years in the lighting systems integration business, Candela Controls (CCI) headquartered in Winter Garden, Florida, announces that they will be opening a northeast regional office to offer world class service to the northern US market. Industry veteran, Bill Gallinghouse will be joining Candela in the role of business development to oversee this effort.

"I am very excited to be joining the strongest lighting systems integrator in North America and returning to the project business where I began many years ago," stated Gallinghouse.

Having spent close to 30 years with Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC) and the past two years with A.C.T Lighting, Gallinghouse is well placed to assist CCI in continuing their strong growth. Over the next few months, Gallinghouse will be working closely with president and co-founder Bill Ellis and general manager Dale Ward to set up this new operation focusing on the northeastern entertainment and architectural project business.

CCI is well positioned to take this step the company says, having earned a reputation as one of the foremost "value added" systems integrator for any venue requiring lighting controls. Providing solutions to gaming, healthcare, hospitality, houses of worship, academic, museums, theatrical and theme park venues, CCI has become among the premier provider of control systems throughout the United States.

"We have been thinking about expanding into this region for quite some time and we couldn't be more excited to have Bill join our growing team here at Candela. Bill's background and experience will provide us with some great insight and a strong Northeastern presence" says Ellis.
