Lighting Up Your Options for Emergency Exit Fixtures
Emergency exit lights might seem to be a bit of a commodity – after all,
standardization is built into their design through a range of building
code regulations at federal, state and local levels. However,
contractors do need to pay attention to the color of these lights when
evaluating options.

Temporary Commercial Power Distribution
When working as an electrician in a processing plant, I was often called
in to work on renovations, new area construction, and emergency repair
scenarios. Often there wasn’t permanent power available, so temporary
power using extension cords was necessary to power up tools and
equipment for the job.

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.

Fiber Optics – Secure Data at the Speed of Light … Almost
Fun fact. Light travels at approximately 186,000 miles per second. Whoosh.
That’s kind of fast, right? Faster than my old Ford pickup, anyway.
