This Issue's Question: Which lighting manufacturer added wireless smart fixtures to its Vive IoT Platform? New Combination Products Give Cables More Control Chuck Ross 
There was a time when lighting and other switched electrical equipment
was designed for simple on/off operation, making wiring a simple
affair. Contractors only needed to install a single run of power cabling
to meet operational needs. Today, though, both clients and ambitious
energy standards are requiring greater control over building systems,
specifying products like dimmable lighting and variable-speed fans, and
the need for additional runs of control/signal cable can make
installation a much more complicated task.
Edwards Signaling 58 Series Hazardous Location Beacons James R. Dukart 
Often the locations most in need of both audible and visible warning
lights and signals is also a noisy, not always perfectly lit space — for
instance at mining, construction and demolition sites, not to mention
offshore oil rights and petrochemical plants. Edwards Signalings’ 58 Series AdaptaBeacon rotating beacon is meant exactly for such locations. Giving Aluminum Wiring a Fresh Look Chuck Ross 
While many know of the travails suffered by the owners of buildings
wired with aluminum conductors back in the 1950s and 1960s, far fewer
understand just how much improved today’s aluminum wiring products are
from those used five decades ago. While the older offerings were not
designed for building applications, today’s aluminum wire features
alloys designed specifically for use in local distribution systems. In
fact, in some cases aluminum wire can be a better option than
traditional copper conductors in both cost and performance.
Shielded Conduit Protects Against RFI/EMI Electri-Flex 
Three kinds of shielding provide maximum choiceMany applications require shielding effectiveness from RFI and EMI interference. Stray voltage, current, and high frequency noise can damage circuits, interrupt performance, and initiate potentially dangerous actions. Shielding reduces these potential problems. Shielded conduit, especially where flexibility is required, provides a significant solution for the engineer.  nVent ERICO  How to Retrofit CADDY Strut TrapezeIn this episode of CADDY TV, Rick shows how to retrofit strut trapeze two ways: with the CADDY Strut Trapeze Attachment plate (ISSP) for pre-cut strut, and with the Retrofit Telescoping Strut Replacement (TSR1220R).
