How do CFL, LED and Halogen lightbulbs differ? Well, CFL (compact fluorescent) lamps are more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs but less so compared to LEDs. LEDs are highly energy-efficient, have a longer lifespan, and are more versatile in terms of color options and applications. Halogen bulbs are an improved version of incandescent, offering better efficiency and colour temperature, but they still fall behind CFLs and LEDs in terms of energy efficiency and lifespan. When choosing lighting options,... more

Electrical loads with high power draw and surge potentials are typically devices that require a significant amount of energy to operate and can potentially generate strong electrical surges when they start up or shut down. Common examples of such devices include air conditioners/heaters, refrigerator/freezers, washing machines/dryers, electric water heaters, power tools, photocopiers/printers, high performance computers, home theatre systems and electric vehicle chargers. It's important to be aware what you are... more

Installing dimmer switches can add a new level of functionality, ambiance, and energy efficiency to your home or office lighting. Some areas worth considering include family & living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, home offices, kitchens, accent lighting in cabinets, and conference room, though any space where the ability to control the ambience of the space is a fine candidate for light dimming. Dimmers also save energy, extend the life span of your bulbs, and can help reduce strain on eyes!... more

Have you ever gazed out the window during a thunderstorm and wondered what kind of voltage potential is inside of the lightning bolts dancing down from the sky? The voltage in a lightning strike can vary significantly depending on various factors such as the length of the lightning bolt, the strength of the electric field, and the specific conditions of the lightning discharge. On average, a typical cloud-to-ground lightning strike can carry voltages in the range of 100 million to 1 billion volts. For reference, most of the modern... more
