Track Lighting: Illuminating the Light Path
My home is taking on the aura of an art museum gallery. Canvases are popping up on the walls everywhere throughout the house.
Not that it’s a bad thing. There are some real benefits, like hiding holes in the walls, and not having major areas to paint.

Going Underground: Wire Management in Direct Burial Projects
Not all wiring is created equal – after all, some of it has to be buried
underground. While this cable might not see the varied weather exposure
of unburied, outdoor lines, it faces its own unique challenges.

Whole Home Protection – SPDs
Today’s homes, no matter the date of construction, have one thing in
common. Scads of electronic devices populate our personal domiciles,
even those of us “old folks.”
When you think about it, there

controlled by some sort of circuit board, or even computer-style mother
board.

LED Lamps – Energy Saving Replacements
I’ll make no bones about it. LEDs are the light of my life. Okay, maybe
that’s going just a bit far … but not much. If you want to find an
incandescent or fluorescent lamp in my house, you’re going to have to
look hard. I think I may have a few C7s left to replace. But only
because they’re hard to get to.

Look, Ma, No Wires – and a New Business Opportunity
Lighting without wires – that’s the promise solar-powered security
lighting offers homeowners. If you’re an electrical contractor, you
might see that lack of wires as a threat to your installation business –
after all, if there aren’t any wires, why would customers turn to you
for help?

How Manufacturers are Bringing Basic Breaker Boxes into the Digital Age
Three years ago, I decided to finally bring my home into the modern age,
in terms of its electrical distribution system. Gone was the
50-plus-year-old, 60-amp fuse box (yes, I said “fuse box”), along with
the similarly low-capacity line from the pole to the house. In their
place, a new 200-amp service line and breaker panel.
