Sensing Opportunities: Pros and Cons of PIR and Microwave Approaches
Lighting the great outdoors requires a bit more thought now than it did a
couple decades ago. The goal used to be simply packing as many lumens
as possible into a landscape fixture. That was the entire point.
Photocell sensors might have been used to ensure lights didn’t stay on
during daylight hours, but keeping outdoor space fully illuminated –
even when no humans were around – was seen as a key safety measure.

This Ain’t Your Great Aunt Betty’s Room Radiator!
Uncle Bob and Aunt Betty's two-story farmhouse was a haven for my
brother and me during our childhood. While it didn't boast modern
amenities, the old-fashioned radiators under each window ensured a cozy
warmth throughout the house. These radiators were a blessing during cold
winters, providing a spot to dry our snow-soaked gloves.

The Bright Future of 3-D Printed Light Fixtures
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.

Guess What? Fuses Still Matter
Up until three years ago, I lived with a couple small boxes of spare
fuses that sat on top of the water heater in the basement, ready to be
drawn from should the rare combination of, say, the toaster and
microwave operating at the same time happen to shut down power to the
kitchen.

Harnessing the Germ-Fighting Power of Light We Can’t See
It’s hard to believe that it was just three years ago that much of the
country was on red alert status thanks to Covid. Researchers were still
learning more about the new virus, but one thing they were sure of was
that it spread through the air, which made air purification systems a
new priority for any place people gathered in large numbers.
