Look Beyond Lumens per Watt for Even More LED Energy Savings
In just a little more than a decade, LED lighting systems have moved
from a not-quite-yet-there technology to one that essentially owns the
market, especially in commercial applications. With efficacy ratings
that now surpass those of once-dominant fluorescent fixtures, LEDs also
can operate for years before needing replacement, versus months for
fluorescent tubes.

The Importance of Ground Fault Protection in Industry
In the food processing plant where I cut my electrical teeth, there were
ceiling drops for sticker guns to label bagged product. Some of the
workers complained about getting shocked off the stainless still bins
that held the product. Adding inline GFCIs helped (although some still
complained, even when no voltage was present).

Lighting Up Your Options for Emergency Exit Fixtures
Emergency exit lights might seem to be a bit of a commodity – after all,
standardization is built into their design through a range of building
code regulations at federal, state and local levels. However,
contractors do need to pay attention to the color of these lights when
evaluating options.

Temporary Commercial Power Distribution
When working as an electrician in a processing plant, I was often called
in to work on renovations, new area construction, and emergency repair
scenarios. Often there wasn’t permanent power available, so temporary
power using extension cords was necessary to power up tools and
equipment for the job.

Wax or Polymer – Understanding the Options with Cable Lubricants
Wire and cable pulling can be strenuous work, especially when distances
stretch several floors or more. Lubricants are an important part of this
process – they help reduce friction between cables and conduit, which,
in turn, reduces the risk of damage, wear and tear on cable insulators.

LEDs for Hazardous Locations and … Mesh Lighting Control
Hazardous locations have stricter requirements for fixtures and
luminaires than other industrial areas. Hazardous locations include
those areas where flammable dusts, fumes, liquids and gases may be
present, either in storage or during processing.
