Look Beyond Lumens per Watt for Even More LED Energy Savings
In just a little more than a decade, LED lighting systems have moved
from a not-quite-yet-there technology to one that essentially owns the
market, especially in commercial applications. With efficacy ratings
that now surpass those of once-dominant fluorescent fixtures, LEDs also
can operate for years before needing replacement, versus months for
fluorescent tubes.

Temporary Commercial Power Distribution
When working as an electrician in a processing plant, I was often called
in to work on renovations, new area construction, and emergency repair
scenarios. Often there wasn’t permanent power available, so temporary
power using extension cords was necessary to power up tools and
equipment for the job.

Wax or Polymer – Understanding the Options with Cable Lubricants
Wire and cable pulling can be strenuous work, especially when distances
stretch several floors or more. Lubricants are an important part of this
process – they help reduce friction between cables and conduit, which,
in turn, reduces the risk of damage, wear and tear on cable insulators.

That’s right. Window blinds.

Like companies in pretty much all the building trades these days,
electrical contracting firms are becoming increasingly stretched when it
comes to getting the staffing numbers in line with their needs.

Planning for Consumer Solar Energy Installations
Alternative energy sources— green, clean solar and wind power—certainly get a lot of “air time” of late. (Pun intended.)
Of
course, water power has been around a long time. And still is for power
generation on a large scale. But it’s not so convenient for single user
electrical supply, or even most municipalities.
