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.

One of my favorite topics to talk or write about is LED lighting and

Mind the Gap: Air-Sealing Options for Exterior Wall Outlets
Residential energy use today accounts for about 20% of U.S. greenhouse
gas emissions – though this figure varies widely by region and income
level. Certainly, getting more of our energy from renewable resources
can help reduce those emissions, but we also need to limit overall
energy demand in order to meet the emissions cuts necessary to blunt
climate change’s worst effects.

Save Money, Energy, and Maintenance Time with LED Luminaires

and he’s in Arizona, so the time difference can be a pain.
We just missed each other the day before because he was over with the neighbors across the street.

There have been many times when I was elbows deep in a wiring trough or
raceway. We sometimes called the smaller units gutters, but all were
raceways and wiring troughs.
