Now that emarketing, ecommerce and just about everything else “e”
prevails in a supplier’s get-to-the customer strategy, it’s time to
unequivocally state that the customer is the boss in the buying
relationships and that his e needs and wants trump everybody else's.
Anybody approaching this connection in any other fashion is simply doing
it wrong. The same rules apply as were prevalent before the Internet.
Make the exchange of information, orders, and collateral follow up
material quick, easy, understandable, and as painless as possible. And,
do it at a reasonable price.

This Issue's Question: Who announced new RFID enabled wiring devices that allow owners to quickly and easily scan an entire container without handling individual cable sets. Integral to the device, the unique RFID technology cannot easily fall off or be removed? Energy Efficient Lighting – The Lamps Steve Maurer, IME 
This is part one of a two-part miniseries on energy efficient lighting.
In this article, we're going to look at the lamps. In the second
article, we'll explore some options for controlling those lights, aka,
lighting systems.But, you've got to start with the source of illumination... the lamp or bulb. Cord Grips Give Power Cables Some Needed Support Chuck Ross 
While most of us are used to shin-high or lower electrical outlets,
industrial plants often use ceiling- or wall-mounted buses for power
distribution. These systems can keep power connections flexible as
manufacturing floors are rearranged, but they also can add stress to
power cables if their connection to an overhead outlet is the only thing
holding them in place. Cord support grips address this problem by
taking stress off the cable and helping to maximize uptime and minimize
equipment damage.
Energy Efficient Lighting – Control Systems Steve Maurer, IME 
In a previous article, we talked about energy efficient lighting with
regards to incandescents and other sources of illumination. Even though
they cost a little more to acquire, LEDs are more energy efficient. And,
that means saving money on utility bills as well.But, the type of lamp or fixture isn't the only factor when it comes to energy efficient lighting. It's not just what you use, but how you use it. Lighting automation, often integrated into a so-called "smart" building, can save even more energy. LED Technology Gives Contractors Flexible Entry Points Bill Brosius 
Think of LED lighting as the “gradual” revolution. Electrical
contractors don’t have to go all-in overnight. They can enter the LED
world in an unhurried way, based largely on available rebates and what
their customers have in mind.Contractors can start one lamp at a time if they choose, replacing a fluorescent lamp with a T8 LED lamp.  nVent HOFFMAN  Hoffman Pull Box ExtenderThe Pull Box Extender, or “Step-Up”, product is designed to be used in commercial and general industrial applications that previously required a custom sized pull box, or to create additional wiring space for existing pull box installations.
