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.

There’s probably no substitute for on-the-job training, regardless of your profession. Spending time solving problems in real-world settings with regular feedback from more experienced supervisors and team members is one of the best ways to learn – and you’ll likely remember what you’ve learned this way longer.

Arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) protection is now a requirement in
most areas of a home, and it’s not difficult to understand why the
National Electrical Code (NEC) makes this demand. Basically, a lot of us
don’t pay a whole lot of attention to what – and how – we plug into our
wall outlets, and this can lead to serious fire risks over time.

more and larger electrical projects. The more work, the more money… most
of the time.
But, taking on more projects usually means adding staff. Your crew needs to be bigger to handle the load.

From Theory to Application: Understanding and Implementing Color Temperature and CRI in Lighting Design
Maintaining proper lighting levels, color temperature, and Color Rendering Index (CRI) is crucial for various applications. Color temperature affects the ambiance, while CRI determines color accuracy. LEDs offer flexibility in color temperature, have a high CRI, produce less heat, and are energy-efficient compared to incandescent lamps.
