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.

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.

How to Bring Power Where It’s Needed After the Walls Are Up
I’ve owned three homes in my life. The youngest was 41 years old when I
moved in and the other two were both over 80. I chose all three based on

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.

LED Lighting and Controls: A Rhapsody in Bluetooth
A decade ago, LED lighting was still fighting for acceptance among
designers, contractors and consumers. Early product generations suffered
from quality control problems, flickering and light that was too far
into the blue end of the visual spectrum.
