We’re excited to announce the addition of six new off-road LED light bars to our SBL series product line. The 12″, 30″, 50″ light bars are equipped with two rows of powerful LEDs that emit anywhere from 1,100 to 10,000 lumens depending on the length of the bar.  These heavy-duty light bars can be used for many applications, including off-road driving lights, daytime running lights, or fog lights on trucks, ATVs, or UTVs as well as for work lighting, industrial lighting, marine lighting, and tractor lighting.

LEDs in these light bars emit either a wide flood beam or a combination spot/flood beam pattern for focusing on long- and short-range distances simultaneously.

Want to know if your Tampa or St. Petersburg, FL area home is meeting Florida electrical standards as well as NEC (National Electrical Code) guidelines? You’re not alone. The electrical system in your Florida home is essential to your home’s functionality and, let’s face it, without a reliable electrical system, how much of your daily activities would you actually accomplish? From illuminating your home to cooking, laundry, watching TV are all made possible because of the its electrical wiring.

Below, we’ve provided a brief overview of Florida’s residential electrical code and some of the most important facts you need to know about NFPA 70A.

The electrical system of your home is one of its most important components, and also one of the most hazardous. Frayed wires, loose connections, and similar issues can crop up almost anywhere in your home, and dry air that we often get in the winter can make it even worse.

Without appropriate, and safe, repairs, frayed wires or loose connections can short out important appliances or even start a fire. It’s important to remember, too, that only a highly trained and experienced electrician should attempt repairs on this system. But how do you know if you even need repairs? Are there any tell-tale signs? Yes! Keep reading to learn more.

Perhaps this seems normal, particularly if you have something plugged into the outlet at the time. However, if an outlet is warmer than the wall that surrounds it, then there is likely a problem with your wiring. In some cases, an outlet can get a little warm when it’s plugged in, but it should never be hot to the touch.

Lights that are dimmer than they should be, or flicker when you turn them on, are probably receiving intermittent electricity. This means trouble somewhere in the wiring system.

Malfunctioning electrical components can cause a low buzzing noise, which will typically stop when you cut power to that particular circuit.

If your breakers keep tripping on one particular circuit, then chances are that circuit is overloaded. It may also be an issue with one or more appliances hooked up to it.

Sparks from any electrical outlet are serious and should never be ignored. Be sure to shut off power to the affected area right away before calling in a technician. In some cases, the problem might actually be with the appliance hooked up to the outlet and not the outlet itself.
