Hazardous locations have stricter requirements for fixtures and
luminaires than other industrial areas. Hazardous locations include
those areas where flammable dusts, fumes, liquids and gases may be
present, either in storage or during processing.

Tech Woes Not Slowing Market for Data Centers and Their Conduit
If you’ve been following business headlines (or your 401K’s monthly
statements), you’ve likely heard about a lot of layoffs and other
cost-cutting measures at some of the biggest tech companies. After
flying high during the pandemic, when many of us were living significant
parts of our lives online, these firms are finding they might have been
overly optimistic that the growth would continue once Covid’s worst
days had passed.

LED Work Lighting Helps Contractors Get the Job Done
It truly amazes me how LEDs have transformed the lighting industry in
just a decade. In 2012, manufacturers introduced the first bulbs to
match the output of a standard 60W incandescent. They weren’t dimmable
and could cost $25 or more. Fast forward to 2023, and LEDs now dominate
the lighting market, and inexpensive replacement lamps can cost less
than $5 and last 10-20 years.

Prefabrication Adds Power to Electrical Contractors’ Installation Work
Electrical contracting is, by its nature, a bespoke profession – that
is, every installation features its own unique design quirks requiring
customization. At the same time, though, contractors also now are often
dealing with the need to do more with fewer workers. As a result,
prefabrication is becoming a bigger part of many companies’ operations.

Planning for Consumer Solar Energy Installations
Alternative energy sources— green, clean solar and wind power—certainly get a lot of “air time” of late. (Pun intended.)
Of
course, water power has been around a long time. And still is for power
generation on a large scale. But it’s not so convenient for single user
electrical supply, or even most municipalities.
