Making the Right Connections in Outside Lighting Jobs
Solar-powered exterior lighting has certainly gotten more popular over
the last decade or so, given how inexpensive the fixtures are and how
easy it is to install. But there remains a strong market for the
hardwired variety in shady areas, where more powerful light is required
and when you want to be sure the light works when you need it, even
after a cloudy day.

Courting New Business? Check Out Pickleball
They look a lot like a whiffle ball – and sound like one, too – but that
thwok, thwok, thwok sound now resounding through cities and suburbs,
alike, is probably coming from a pickleball ball, the centerpiece of a
sport soon to be coming to a court near you (in the unlikely case that
it hasn’t already), and possibly even to an Olympic arena, if proponents
have their way.

A decade ago, LED lighting was still fighting for acceptance among
designers, contractors and consumers. Early product generations suffered

into the blue end of the visual spectrum.

Solar Power Lighting: A Bright Opportunity for Installers and Electricians
There it is again! That cat’s chasing rabbits in my garden again
tonight. I knew something was tearing things up in there at night, so I
installed a set of solar powered floods on the top of the gate.

Protective Coatings Bring Multiple Benefits to LEDs
Tube lamps have been a go-to for decades and, while the latest LED
fixtures often incorporate integrated lighting elements – in other
words, no separate lamps – millions of troffer fixtures initially
designed for fluorescent technology are still in service around the
globe.

Shedding Some Light on Full-Spectrum LEDs
As someone who’s tracked LED lighting since its early days as a
commercially available technology, my own experience with the products
has evolved. I live in an older house with overhead lighting only in the
kitchen and bathrooms, so this has mostly meant experimenting with LED
bulbs (or “lamps,” in lighting designer lingo) in the 14 or 15 table
fixtures scattered around my home.
