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.

On the Mark: New Program Helps Assure Copper Products’ Sustainability
Copper wire can seem like a commodity – after all, it’s fabricated from
one of the world’s most heavily traded commodities and is sold in bulk
quantities all over the globe. And, like a lot of commodities, it can be
difficult to know how the copper products you’re buying is actually
produced.

Going Underground: Wire Management in Direct Burial Projects

of unburied, outdoor lines, it faces its own unique challenges.

Whole Home Protection – SPDs
Today’s homes, no matter the date of construction, have one thing in
common. Scads of electronic devices populate our personal domiciles,
even those of us “old folks.”
When you think about it, there
aren’t too many appliances and pieces of equipment that aren’t
controlled by some sort of circuit board, or even computer-style mother
board.

Look, Ma, No Wires – and a New Business Opportunity
Lighting without wires – that’s the promise solar-powered security
lighting offers homeowners. If you’re an electrical contractor, you
might see that lack of wires as a threat to your installation business –
after all, if there aren’t any wires, why would customers turn to you
for help?

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).
