It’s agreeable that we all wish for the generations in school now and to come on all levels (elementary, middle / high school, and college) to be given a better environment than we were when in school.

Specifically in this post we will be talking about the importance of efficient and more importantly study that was conducted found that an environment in which the lighting that consisted of LED at 6500 k proved to be the best lighting for test taking. Studies found that the group testing under 6500 k light scored the highest against 5000 k and 3500 k. This in it of itself shows proof that with a dynamic lighting system in place (possible with LED), we can change the lighting around to meet the needs of the classroom activities. If you want to read, 5000 k was found to be most optimal. While test taking performed best at 6500 k.

Increase in productivity. Office managers have reported that when making the conversion to LED they noticed an uptick in productivity. Now you could say it’s just a coincidence due to the fact that it’s just a “new” or switched up environment. But we think it is a great way to increase focus (proved by the previous point), which in turn allows more tasks to get down.

Helps with students Circadian Rhythm. Teen’s and young adults health are crucial to keep in check especially in their school years. LED lights mimic natural light, which allow the body to feel as if they are in real sunlight when they are in reality indoors 90% of the school day. By balancing out students circadian rhythm; you allow them to stay on track when it comes to their sleep, health, and overall functionability.

Conclusion

Most people have dealt with a power cut at some time or the other. There could be a very bad storm or lightning could strike and the power could get cut; but it also returns quite quickly. However, you might switch on the computer and notice it has stopped working.

This is caused when lightning hits a power line which results in a sudden surge on the electrical pressure that overloads the electronic circuitry. It’s true that lightning strikes cause power surges; even everyday appliances in our homes can cause power surges every time they are switched.

Over time, these seemingly small surges can cause a lot of damage to your property; and they slowly reduce the lifespan of your refrigerator, computer or air-conditioner or any other appliance that’s plugged into a power outlet or any that’s been hardwired into the electrical system in your home. The one way to protect your property from damage is to learn more about what power surges are.

Across Australia, the basic electrical voltage for residences is 230V + 10% up to – 6%. The load vibrations are taken into account in this particular range, as the appliances quickly cut in & out. In case the voltage increases above the working range of the appliance, it can result in arcing in the appliance.

These arcs generate heat, and these results in damage to the electrical components within the appliance. This type of damage is cumulative and the appliances are still able to function normally, till the point the damage becomes so excessive that your PC or TV just stops working for no apparent reason.

For all plug-and-play appliances like your TV and PC, you can connect them to a point-of-surge protector, and that becomes a very easy solution. This particular system is very much like a standard power board. You simply have to plug in the appliances that have to be protected, into the device. This device doesn’t suppress/arrest the surge; it redirects that surge straight into the ground. If you have to protect only a single appliance and a point-of-use protector doesn’t fit, then it’s possible to get a special outlet with the built-in protection installed.

Even as the point-of-use devices protect various appliances which are typically plugged into any power outlet, you would have to get another device to protect those items which are hardwired into the electrical system of your home, including the lights and air-conditioners. These devices can be easily complemented by an electrical panel surge protector.

If it’s installed inside the mains, it will level out the fluctuations and power spikes; or it might also stop them well before they reach the devices. When a mix of electrical panel surge protection and point of use protection are used, it helps provide your equipment and devices from very powerful voltage spikes.

If you have consistently experienced any power surge issues in the past or if you want to just protect your property against the probability of surges, you only have to call us and speak with our experts. They will provide you with all the information and guidance you need and will ensure that you get the kind of solutions that work perfectly for you.
