Wall pack lighting is installed on the exterior walls of buildings where it provides needed illumination to ensure safety and security. This type of fixture is perfect for parking lots, pathways, exits, entrances, or wherever nighttime visibility is crucial.

Recently, my wife and I spent about two months down in Little Rock, Arkansas for medical reasons. We rented an Airbnb property, a four bedroom house with two baths. It’s more than we need, but considering our daughter and son-in-law were going to bring our granddaughters down for visits during school breaks… it was really just right.

Keeping hospital balance sheets profitable is a challenging proposition for healthcare organizations. That’s certainly one reason why so many have undertaken lighting upgrades over the last decade to move to more efficient LED lamps and fixtures.

Yeah, I’m sure you know the saying — “When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” And I’d imagine you probably chuckled, just a little anyway. A friend of mine gave his small boy a hammer for his birthday. And the kid beat on everything, all day long, when Tommy was at work… including the gas meter in the yard.

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.

In a world where electrical efficiency and streamlined design are of primary concern, the mini power center is quickly becoming a staple piece of equipment for electricians, general contractors, and electrical industry experts. It's small, it's powerful, and it's reshaping the way we manage electricity, on the jobsite and in the facilities we serve.
