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.

Prefabrication Adds Power to Electrical Contractors’ Installation Work
Electrical contracting is, by its nature, a bespoke profession – that
is, every installation features its own unique design quirks requiring
customization. At the same time, though, contractors also now are often
dealing with the need to do more with fewer workers. As a result,
prefabrication is becoming a bigger part of many companies’ operations.

Planning for Consumer Solar Energy Installations
Alternative energy sources— green, clean solar and wind power—certainly get a lot of “air time” of late. (Pun intended.)
Of
course, water power has been around a long time. And still is for power
generation on a large scale. But it’s not so convenient for single user
electrical supply, or even most municipalities.

How to Melt Away Your Snow-Shoveling Chores
With winter now in force, the snow shovel and bag of ice-melting pellets
have returned like migrating songbirds to their seasonal perches on my
back deck. I live in a part of southeast New England that doesn’t get a
lot of snow, on average, but is also quite capable of getting buried if a
nor’easter follows just the right track up the coast.

Save Money, Energy, and Maintenance Time with LED Luminaires
I was talking to my brother, Mark, on the phone last night. We’d been
trying to connect all week and finally got the chance. I’m in Arkansas
and he’s in Arizona, so the time difference can be a pain.
We just missed each other the day before because he was over with the neighbors across the street.

Cable and Conductor Management: Wiring Troughs and More
There have been many times when I was elbows deep in a wiring trough or
raceway. We sometimes called the smaller units gutters, but all were
raceways and wiring troughs.
