Lighting the Way to Better Health Outcomes
Keeping hospital balance sheets profitable is a challenging proposition
for healthcare organizations. That’s certainly one reason why so many
have undertaken lighting upgrades over the last decade to move to more
efficient LED lamps and fixtures.

Sensing Opportunities: Pros and Cons of PIR and Microwave Approaches
Lighting the great outdoors requires a bit more thought now than it did a
couple decades ago. The goal used to be simply packing as many lumens
as possible into a landscape fixture. That was the entire point.
Photocell sensors might have been used to ensure lights didn’t stay on
during daylight hours, but keeping outdoor space fully illuminated –
even when no humans were around – was seen as a key safety measure.

This Ain’t Your Great Aunt Betty’s Room Radiator!
Uncle Bob and Aunt Betty's two-story farmhouse was a haven for my
brother and me during our childhood. While it didn't boast modern
amenities, the old-fashioned radiators under each window ensured a cozy
warmth throughout the house. These radiators were a blessing during cold
winters, providing a spot to dry our snow-soaked gloves.

The Bright Future of 3-D Printed Light Fixtures
The concept of 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing,
initially surfaced in the 1980s, thanks largely to the innovative work
of engineer Chuck Hull. Hull invented a process called
'stereolithography', or SLA, a method that allowed for the creation of
3D models layer by layer, literally bringing ideas to life. It was a
revolutionary breakthrough that sparked the beginning of the 3D printing
era.

Braving the Elements: A Guide to Weatherproof Boxes
I'm working on upgrading the electrical outlets around the outside of
our house. In addition to adding more receptacles around the perimeter,
I'm finally getting around to "electrifying" the shed and lean-to in the
backyard.

Making the Right Connections in Outside Lighting Jobs
Solar-powered exterior lighting has certainly gotten more popular over
the last decade or so, given how inexpensive the fixtures are and how
easy it is to install. But there remains a strong market for the
hardwired variety in shady areas, where more powerful light is required
and when you want to be sure the light works when you need it, even
after a cloudy day.
