Very nice. Maybe you can consider using a smaller font for inner pages.

Good luck !

Nice design! I thought the navigation font was a bit small, and the font of the content on the inner pages was a bit big. Also, I assume the True Light/Buy Now link will be updated before the new design goes live.

Other than that, looks great! Certainly one of the better looking sites I've reviewed here.

I'm not sure if you've changed the font or not but it looks fine to me.

I think the flouo light pic is to deep, at 800x600 with tool bars etc, when I click on a new link nothing changes on screen, I have to scroll down to see the changes.

Useless information, the pic of the lights isn't in fitting with your name true light, if you look at the end of the tubes you'll see purple marks, this is a sign they are on their way out. They will last a while yet but are not giving out 100% true light as a new set would. They will go yellow or purpler giving less light as they get older. (It's scary knowing this)
I doubt anyone would ever pick this up, but like I said at the begining - useless information.

I think the font used for the navigation will only look good at smaller sizes. I would say the text within the site is actually far too big.

Overall, nice, one small thing though. Is the logo a .jpg as it's a bit fuzzy?

robfenn is right, the font on the navbar gets very pixelated at larger sizes. The font size for the rest of the site seems fine to me, but since everybody's saying it's too big I'll play around with it some more.

The main header jpg doesn't seem noticably fuzzy to me, and as it's already 17.5k I don't think it'd be good to up the quality any.

You should save it as GIF. Simpler images come out much better as GIFs in my experience.

To get similar quality from a GIF the file size would be rougly double what it is now. The way I understand it is that if the image is a photograph (or mostly a photo) then JPEG's compression works best, but if it is a drawing or some other computer generated image then GIF works best. That's held true in my experience.
