Almost every home has Wi-Fi connectivity nowadays; and with so many devices using the Internet, it is more of a necessity rather than an exception. However, it’s also very common for people to find that they don’t really get reliable data speeds in every room or area of their homes and that can be a little frustrating. This is especially true if you have a home office and need to get some work done at a particular pace.

This is why you need to have the right kind of data cabling installed in your home. We know what it takes to install excellent data cable systems; and these add to the reliability and performance of your wireless network. This is because hardwiring is always more reliable than Wi-Fi connectivity as there are chances of interference in the latter; and this reduces the quality of the Internet speeds and connectivity.

However, there are times when data cabling might not work in every type of building layout and it’s when we may work on providing solutions that help extend your wireless network as well. Regardless of the kind of solutions you require and the size and complexity of the installation, we can handle the job for you in the best possible way. Once you have a good wired network, you will find that you have high speed Internet access for IP security cameras, online gaming as well as file sharing and media streaming etc.

When you hire professionals to handle data cabling for you, it’s important to look for a company that will provide you with comprehensive solutions such as installation, repairs and maintenance too. You only have to tell them where you need the Internet connections and they will design a plan for data cable installation that extends to all these places. The different data point and cabling services include:

One of the least understood terms in LED Lighting is efficacy, or in simpler terms, how efficient is the light. It is typically measure in lumens/watt. Today, efficacy is becoming more and more important because efficacy varies greatly from product to product. What the consumer needs to be wary of is that you should not be mislead into thinking that just because you are switching from HID or fluorescent to LED that you are getting the best savings available. You also need to look at how efficient the LED product is to maximize the savings.

Here is an example of how this works. Let’s look at a two USA Made competitors LED Retrofit Kit compared to our 4th generation LED kit. All three units are designed to replace 400W HID

From this table, you can see that all products produce over 13,000 lumens, with the MyLEDLightingGuide product producing the most at 14,528 total lumens. It also consumes the least amount of energy of the three units at 105 watts, compared to 130 and 135 watts. For the record, all three products come with a 10 year warranty on the head and a 5 year warranty on the driver. MyLEDLightingGuide also offers a 10 year warranty on the driver as an optional upgrade.

But what does this all mean in terms of saving you $’s. Let’s take a typical scenario. Let’s say these retrofits are installed in MyLEDLightingGuide 105W retrofit kit. Multiply this number over 10 years and by the number of fixtures you have to replace, and this is real dollars. And let’s not forget the MyLEDLightingGuide retrofit kit is also much brighter than the competitors products.

So efficacy is important. It saves you money. But a well designed kit will also produce more light. Just think, without efficacy we wouldn’t have as great of savings, nor would we have more light production from the same amount of power.

Efficacy is huge in the world of lighting, and it is only going to get better year by year. Technology improves, lights improve, and thus; efficacy improves. In 10 years, lights that will be made are probably going to be 5x improved then they are today. And since they are already super efficient today, just imagine that times 5. Now that is efficacy!
