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.

Downlights Go on a Diet with LED Technology
The beauty of recessed can downlights is their seeming sleekness. They
barely interrupt the ceiling plane, which can be an especially big bonus
in homes with lower ceiling heights and in clean-lined contemporary
room plans.

Industrial Automation Evolution - Then and Now
During the Industrial Revolution, which started in the 18th century, the
origins of automation emerged, leading to significant technological
change. This era introduced the use of mechanized equipment, such as the
steam engine and the spinning jenny, revolutionizing the manufacturing
process by reducing the reliance on manual labor. These advancements
laid the foundation for what we now know as automation.
