Illuminate Your World: The Art and Science of Outdoor Lighting
As I pondered this topic, I was relaxing in our side yard, gazing at the
garden in the dark. Well, not totally in the dark. The garden was
delightfully illuminated by flickering tiki torch lamps … lit by LEDs,
charged by the sun. Spotlights shone on my miniature windmill as it
lazily spun in the evening breeze.

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.

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).

Emergency exit lights might seem to be a bit of a commodity – after all,
standardization is built into their design through a range of building
code regulations at federal, state and local levels. However,
contractors do need to pay attention to the color of these lights when
evaluating options.

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.
