and less. While Smart Devices certainly give us more flexibility than
ever, they also make us accessible 24/7. The holidays force us to throttle down, to look around and evaluate what life is all about. For several days we can turn off the mobile phones, give our texting thumbs a rest and "talk" to the ones we love. For some it will be a new but gratifying experience.   K/E Electric Supply Corp.

This Issue's Question: Who launched the "Metalux™ SWLED Surface and Wall light-emitting diode (LED) luminaire, providing a versatile, high-performing and energy-efficient lighting solution for a broad range of commercial and industrial application needs"? Busway’s Modularity a Big Advantage for Data Centers Chuck Ross 
Data centers can seem to be pretty static environments. Once they are up
and running, they often require no more than a few employees to monitor
ongoing operations, as the real work of these facilities is actually
going on in the hundreds of little server boxes stacked into racks. But,
with server technology evolving rapidly, data-center design needs to
support easy equipment and layout changes, a requirement that can pose a
challenge for traditional power-distribution plans based on wire and
conduit. That’s why busway has become a popular choice for engineers and
contractors working on such projects.
Why Digital Timers? James R. Dukart 
From both indoor and outdoor lighting to HVAC equipment, horns &
bells and fans and electric motors, facilities today require elaborate,
functional and flexible timing control. Increasingly, contractors and
facilities managers are turning to digital timers.NSi Industries, manufacturers of Tork digital timers, lists several reasons digital is the way to go. Busway Offers Savings Chuck Ross 
Using busway for power distribution within a facility instead of conduit
and cable can be a big timesaver for electrical contractors – which can
make it a big money saver for contractors’ customers. Busway also can
provide increased flexibility for settings that see frequent equipment
upgrades or manufacturing-line changes, creating additional savings over
the life of an installation.
