Circuit Savvy: Practical Tips for Decoding Electrical Blueprints
Blueprints and wiring schematics are both critical documents in the
electrical industry, but they serve different purposes and present
information in distinct ways. In this article, we’re confining our
discussion to electrical blueprints.

When it Comes to Retail Lighting, Check the Temperature
Electrical pros working on retail lighting projects might need to know
about more than just how many watts/square foot the local energy code
allows them to use. While lighting installation is always a bit of an
artform – after all, lighting impacts the mood and appearance of every
room – it also can have a real impact on a retailer’s bottom line.

From Theory to Application: Understanding and Implementing Color Temperature and CRI in Lighting Design
Maintaining proper lighting levels, color temperature, and Color Rendering Index (CRI) is crucial for various applications. Color temperature affects the ambiance, while CRI determines color accuracy. LEDs offer flexibility in color temperature, have a high CRI, produce less heat, and are energy-efficient compared to incandescent lamps.
