amateur. My work made the neighbors' grounds look pristine.

platform called Evo, a modular design that allows the reconfiguring of
the mixing chamber, reflector, lenses, drivers and LEDs independent of
one another. The platform allows for flexibility to upgrade efficiency and efficacy in commercial LED downlight and wallwash lamps for offices, churches, schools, retail and multi-family housing applications, among others. Cord Grips and OSHA Compliance Steve Maurer, IME 
According to both NEC® 400.10 and OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1926.405,
strain relief must be provided for flexible cords or cables. This is
necessary to prevent pulling forces from straining joints, such as wire
nuts and crimp fittings, and terminal screws. This prevents conductors
from separating and causing damage or shorts to the circuit.
