 We will not stop until we've created a pizza that leaps out of the box and pulls our hearts directly out of our chests. -- Jimmy Kimmel -- We've given away over $380,000 to subscribers. See the E-Smarts to B-Smart contest. (Did you win? See below.)   On Money Ball, The Oakland A's and The Electrical Industry (Part 3 of 4) By Bill Floyd 
Click here to read Part 1 or here to read Part 2This article series has been inspired by the Paul De Podesta, Keynote Speaker at NAED's South Central who was a central figure in the book and movie Money Ball. Like the Electrical industry he dealt with a changing industry landscape and took on the better funded giants by moving away from traditional thinking. The result, he beat them at their own game and achieved far more success than his colleagues imagined possible. If you haven't read part one and two in this series, I'd encourage you to start there. Being that ElectricSmarts is well established in this industry and that our very existence was begun by abandoning the status quo, I unapologetically use our products as examples. They have been enormously successful and have helped countless partners market online in ways they couldn't have done by themselves.   Intermatic Partner App

This Issue's Question: Whose new 30 Amp, Non-Fused Safety Disconnect Switch features a Type 304, Non-Magnetic Stainless Steel enclosure for added resistance against bacterial growth and chemical corrosion. Ideal for use in areas requiring heavy washdown, "the MDS30-AX is a perfect fit in food and beverage processing facilities, factories and plants, marinas and shipyards, and other abusive industrial applications." Wireless Dimmers Becoming a Home Automation Solution Chuck Ross 
When dimming switches first came to market, their value was primarily
aesthetic – home and business owners appreciated the ability to adjust
lighting brightness to help set a mood. Today, though, dimming is seen
as a boon to energy efficiency, with energy codes now often requiring
dimmers to work in tandem with occupancy and daylight sensors to trim
back artificial lighting when it’s not needed.
Clamping Down on Control Wires James R. Dukart 
Today’s commercial and residential electrical construction features
increasing numbers, pathways and networks of wire and cable – not only
for electrical distribution, but also voice, data and video over wires
and cables.Contractors need a fast, secure and efficient way to organize, structure and secure these systems, which is where cable clamps and lock-down systems come into play. Panduit offers its StrongHold product line for just such work, featuring cable and conduit clips, beam and purlin clamps, hanging systems, acoustical and T-grid supports. Using Dimming Controls to Harvest Natural Daylight Chuck Ross 
“Daylight harvesting” is becoming a important element in many
energy-efficiency codes, and sophisticated dimming equipment is a
critical component in maximizing this strategy’s success. Put simply,
daylight harvesting means using natural daylight to offset artificial
electric lighting to make commercial environments more efficient – and
more pleasant – places for working, shopping and other activities.
