I'm up for any New Year's Eve party as long as it starts at six, ends by eight, and doesn't require real pants. @AbbyHasIssues 2018 is Here! It’s a New Year! By Paul Werthman The new year has arrived, and if you’re like me and thousands of others, the 2018 planning season is in full swing. It’s amazing how many personal resolutions are set with good intent to follow though, only to see many resolutions broken and discarded. Business planning is always difficult and detailed with budgeting, forecasting, tactical and strategic goals being set. Announcing the New Smart eCat+ App for Android!

LED Lifespans Lead Manufacturers to New Business Models Chuck Ross In my years working in commercial offices – cubicle farms, we called them, then – the sight of a building maintenance staffer up on a ladder to replace a burned out fluorescent tube lamp or ballast was a regular occurrence. As commercial building owners and managers make the switch to much longer-lived LED replacement options, lighting manufacturers will be selling many fewer lamps, and they’re looking for new options to make up that anticipated lost revenue. Eaton XT Series IEC Motor Controls Ease Installation, Amp Up Usability James R. Dukart Eaton’s XT IEC Motor and Power Control Series offers faster and easier installation along with increased functionality and improvements in usability for contractors. The XT series offers non-reversing and reversing contactors and starters as well as overload relays and accessories. Commercial Owners Sensing Savings in Today’s Smarter Lighting Controls Chuck Ross Once upon a time, commercial office buildings were lit up like candles 24 hours a day, perhaps because installing the right control systems was more expensive than the electricity used to power all those light fixtures. That time has long passed though, and today’s owners are looking for new solutions that maximize the contribution of natural sunlight, where and when possible, and minimize the use of electric lighting in unoccupied spaces. These combined demands are driving a growing market for light and occupancy sensors in lighting designs both large and small.
