Simple lighting changes can have a huge impact on the look and feel of the rooms and hallways in your home. If your home is laid out properly, adding some great-looking wall sconces can add to the homey, inviting feel of your home. In addition to the great look that they provide, wall sconces also take up a very small amount of room, because they are placed directly on the wall. For this reason, they are perfect for bathrooms, hallways and other small spaces.

One thing to keep in mind when having your electrician in Beverly Hills install your wall sconces is proper placement. Making sure that your wall sconces are placed in the appropriate places is key to a successful installation. By placing your wall sconces strategically, and attaching them to dimmer switches, you can accent all the areas in your home that you feel like accenting. This can create a very dynamic, easily manipulated and inviting atmosphere. You should also strongly consider the height at which your wall sconces are placed. For the best results, choose a height and stick with it. Placing them uniformly gives them a professional and continuous look.

Wall sconces have become very popular in homes throughout the country, largely because of their small size and ease of installation. Although their primary use is to provide light in underlit areas, wall sconces can also be decorative elements when not lit. When coordinated with your décor, they can give your home a certain amount of flow and decorative continuity that is not possible otherwise. You can find them in many different shapes, sizes and styles that are ready for your electrician Beverly Hills to install today.

5-pin SPDT (single pole, double throw) automotive relay.

Relays are essentially two parts in one package. The first part is an inductive coil (pins 85 and 86). This coil is the “trigger” function of the relay. By applying both a positive (+) and ground (-) to the contacts, current passes through the coil. When current passes through the coil, a magnetic field is generated and moves the switch (the arrow in the diagram). This is where the second part of the relay comes into play.

The second part of the relay is the “switch.” The switch has three interface contacts—common, normally closed, and normally open. “Normally” refers to the state of the relay not being energized.

While relays can be used for virtually any task, there are some very useful, simple applications for adding LED lighting to a vehicle. Please note that this wiring only pertains to the relay—not the wires in the vehicle. Before interfacing with a wire in a vehicle, always ensure you test the wire with a digital multimeter first to confirm circuit function.

Positive Switching

Positive switching is used for applications where the “trigger” for your switch or circuit is positive. This could be an ignition, brake, or reverse light wire for example.  This could be used for applications such as off-road light bars, work lights, additional brake lights, and other exterior lighting.

Negative Switching

Negative switching is used for applications where the “trigger” for your switch or circuit is negative. Negative triggers are often found in door, hatch, and trunk triggers as well as many interior switches. This could be used for applications such as footwell lighting, truck bed lighting, under-hood lighting, and other interior lighting.

Switch Activated With Ignition Override

This is useful for applications where you want to turn your light on or off with a switch but only want the light to remain on when the car is running or key is in the “ignition” position. The main advantage to this is—even if the switch is left on—the light (or output circuit) will shut off when the key is turned off so that the battery will not be run down.
