The Bright Future of 3-D Printed Light Fixtures
The concept of 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing,
initially surfaced in the 1980s, thanks largely to the innovative work
of engineer Chuck Hull. Hull invented a process called
'stereolithography', or SLA, a method that allowed for the creation of
3D models layer by layer, literally bringing ideas to life. It was a
revolutionary breakthrough that sparked the beginning of the 3D printing
era.

Stability, Reliability, and Longevity for Rooftop Support Systems
Rooftop support systems are an integral part of conduit, piping, and
mechanical installations that often go underappreciated. These unsung
heroes of the rooftop world provide a stable and secure foundation for
equipment, ensuring that everything from HVAC units to solar panels
stays in place, regardless of weather conditions or external forces.

Downlights Go on a Diet with LED Technology
The beauty of recessed can downlights is their seeming sleekness. They
barely interrupt the ceiling plane, which can be an especially big bonus
in homes with lower ceiling heights and in clean-lined contemporary
room plans.

Industrial Automation Evolution - Then and Now
During the Industrial Revolution, which started in the 18th century, the
origins of automation emerged, leading to significant technological
change. This era introduced the use of mechanized equipment, such as the
steam engine and the spinning jenny, revolutionizing the manufacturing
process by reducing the reliance on manual labor. These advancements
laid the foundation for what we now know as automation.

The Intrinsic Value of Decorative Lighting in Commercial Spaces
Recently, my wife and I had the “pleasure” of visiting a relatively new
hospital complex. For almost a year, I watched the 5-story edifice being
built as I traveled up and down Highway 49 in Northwest Arkansas.

Solar-Plus-Batteries Turning Into an Energetic Combination
Rooftop solar panels, once a bit of an oddity, are becoming a common
addition to homes across the United States. In 2020, the U.S. Energy
Information Administration’s residential energy consumption survey found
that almost 4% of U.S. single-family homes were using panels to
generate electricity and the market has continued to grow since then,
with capacity climbing by 34% in 2021 and an additional 40% in 2022.
