I have heard somewhere that the brand Heath-Zenith is a merger between HeathCo, and Zenith that happened in the late 70s. I know HeathCo produced the Heathkit line of electronics kits, and that Zenith produced radios and TVs. Apparently in the late 80s and early 90s, nobody was buying Heathkit kits, so they decided to enter the market of lighting related products to stay in business.

Some of you probably know more about this than I do, so could you tell me how true this is?
