 "The TSA's airport body scanners have been shown to be so ineffective, the Homeland Security chairman suggested using traditional metal detectors. While LaGuardia will continue to just have a scarecrow dressed as a cop." –Jimmy Fallon We've given away over $418,000 to subscribers. See the E-Smarts to B-Smart contest. Now you can enter via Email and/or on Facebook. Did you win? (See below to find out.)   So, What's Your Contractor Thinking? By Bill Floyd 
ElectricSmarts has been on the road talking to contractors for the past
dozen years. It all started when we introduced NetPricer which has
morphed into NetPak. Now as more and more Contractor Estimating Packages
have integrated these ESmarts tools into their programs, and are
adopting the ES "Gateway" that enables them to access manufacturer IDW
information, we continue to grow closer to them. These are some excerpts
from our conversations with them.

This Issue's Question: Who's Cable Tray Super-Duty Splice Plate Reduces Number of Required Structural Supports? Outdoor LED Lighting Plus Real Security Peter Walsh, PE 
Outdoor LED lighting has taken another step in making science fiction a
reality. It is not just the LEDs saving up to 65% of legacy lighting
energy costs, not just the controlled dimming, not even the shape that
looks like it could from outer space, but the security features. If it
were mobile, it might be considered a guardian robot.An example is the Cimarron LED iTSP Surveillance Luminaire by Hubbell Lighting. It has all the virtues of LED lighting plus controls, communication, and surveillance. The lighting control can be preprogrammed, respond to a situation, or can be internet controlled in real time. A Variety of Floor Boxes to Fit Your Needs James R. Dukart 
Legrand offers an advanced series of floor boxes suitable for any of
today’s increasingly popular and demanding A/V (audio-video)
applications.The company’s Evolution Series Floor Box can be installed in raised, carpet-covered concrete, terrazzo, polished concrete and wood floors. Boxes are offered in 6, 8 and 10-gang configurations for standard, on-grade and fire-classified applications. A furniture-feed box is also available. Commercial Garage Lighting Update Peter Walsh, PE 
Lighting for commercial garages has progressed from basic LED
efficiency, to desirable wireless control features. A typical old 175
watt metal-halide design using 213 watts can be replaced by an LED
luminaire consuming only 63 watts. The old luminaire required re-lamping
every 1.5 years versus 10 plus years with new LED designs. The old design and the early LED designs depended upon relays to control the lighting. Planning for the future with scalable, energy-saving building systems Lutron
