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.

Save Money, Energy, and Maintenance Time with LED Luminaires
I was talking to my brother, Mark, on the phone last night. We’d been
trying to connect all week and finally got the chance. I’m in Arkansas
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’s no getting around it. A lot of people spent a lot more time in
their homes the past few years. And while some of it was by choice, not
all of it was.
I retired from electrical work and work my copywriting business totally from home now.
That was a choice.

Switchboards: The Cornerstone of Power Supply Dependability
Switchboards are critical to the dependability of any electrical power
installation because they represent that pivotal point at which incoming
power supply is divided into separate circuits, controlled and
protected by fuses and switchgear, metered, and then divided into a
number of functional units for its given applications. In general,
switchboards distribute power to transformers, panelboards, control
equipment, and to system loads.

Bonding vs. Grounding: A Primer
Bonding and grounding are simple concepts, but, unfortunately, they’re
also easily confused with each other. Definitions of one term often get
wrapped up in the definitions of the other, and, before long, one can
begin thinking the words are interchangeable.
“Grounding” refers to the creation of a path from electrical equipment
to the earth. It is intended to protect equipment and help prevent fires
that might occur due to high voltages resulting from lightning strikes,
line surges or unintended contact with higher-voltage lines.
