If you own or manage a business, you have probably noticed the equipment in the business is a little different than you would find in an average home. There is probably a lot more as well and things are much more sensitive. Because of this, you need an electrician in Glendale who can deal with commercial electrical problems. At The Electric Connection, you will find the right electrician for your business needs. Wiring schematics tend to be different for larger pieces of equipment and there is a learning curve involved. You don’t want to hire somebody who is still learning. You need somebody who can get your electrical problem taken care of right, the first time.

Along with hiring an electrician who is capable of working on more sophisticated equipment, businesses need a company that is reliable and will keep in line with a certain image. Often times, the electrician will be seen by customers. It wouldn’t do to have customers unsure of who the individual was or mistaking the electrician for an employee and causing a moment of awkwardness. You need a person who looks professional and is in a uniform that clearly identifies his or her position.

A few other important traits when it comes to hiring somebody to complete your commercial Glendale electrical work is the ability to be on time, reliable and to maintain a professional air while they are inside the business. They should be courteous to the customers as well as the employees. Because time really is money, it is imperative the electrician you hire shows up when scheduled and complete the work within a certain timeframe. If circumstances change and the electrician needs more time, communication is key to keeping the business running smoothly. If you need a commercial electrician who meets these criteria, give The Electric Connection a call today.

LED Technology is not just about efficiency, power and light color temperature. Luminous flux performance over lifetime and color rendering index, accordingly the spectrum, are important as well. A lot of people recognize cheap LED versions in any shops or retail stores that seem to be bluish and illuminate the space quite palely.

The manufacturing process is accompanied by variations in material and action itself. The results are white light LEDs with different characteristics. Binning systems have been introduced to support the performance of LEDs and LED products. Binning is focusing on LEDs chromaticity (light color) or luminous flux (brightness) and can be described as the grouping of the LEDs into samples with the same or closest light color or brightness.

LED Light Color – Binning System.

In a nutshell, recent studies tested different compositions of lighting spectra and found an influence on human condition. People who are sensitive to their surroundings tend to complain about headache, dizziness and even nausea when exposed to imbalanced spectra. Long term exposition is even expected to have a negative impact on human health. When buying LED light sources, retrofit kits and products have a look at the CRI or spectrum. The more balanced, the better for the people working under it.
