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.

Switchrack: What Specifiers Need to Know
Designing industrial facilities is rarely a paint-by-numbers effort
because each plant faces unique considerations, based on what it’s

Less Work to Meet Safety Requirements
Some facilities are changing their requirements for motor and appliance
installations. This could be due to OSHA Lock-out and Tag-out
requirements or NFPA 70E. The change is toward using pin and sleeve
devices instead of having a hard-wired installation.
Safety requirements often have the maintenance person checking for the
absence of voltage before touching. The rules are quite specific and are
enforced by OSHA.
