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.

LED Work Lighting Helps Contractors Get the Job Done
It truly amazes me how LEDs have transformed the lighting industry in
just a decade. In 2012, manufacturers introduced the first bulbs to
match the output of a standard 60W incandescent. They weren’t dimmable
and could cost $25 or more. Fast forward to 2023, and LEDs now dominate
the lighting market, and inexpensive replacement lamps can cost less
than $5 and last 10-20 years.

Unlocking Potential with Demand Load Management (DLM)
Demand Load Management (DLM) is a key concept in the current discourse
on sustainability and environmental responsibility. It refers to the
systematic approach of optimizing energy consumption, lowering expenses,
reducing environmental footprint, and improving overall performance.

Lighting Automation Still Requires a Contactor
Lighting automation has bells and whistles, but a lighting contactor is
necessary to switch the actual lighting circuits. Properly selecting
lighting contactors can save installation and maintenance costs. What
are some of the important considerations in addition to the correct
voltage and current?

Lighting Up Right: Nailing the Essentials for a Safe Install
Installing and maintaining lighting in commercial and industrial
settings was my job for the better part of 36 years. While I worked solo
for much of that time, I often worked with other team members. And
sometimes, my “joy and delight” was following up on installations and
repairs done by others.

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.
