This is a prime example of the sort of problems that homeowners convince themselves are too minor to worry about very much. Yes, flickering lights are seriously annoying. However, they can also be indicative of fairly serious problems with your electrical system, such as degraded wiring. If you have lights in your home that always seem to be flickering, contact us to have the problem corrected immediately.

It does not matter how many devices you have plugged in, or how much energy you are using in your home; you should not be smelling burning odors in your house when you are using your electrical system. While the issue may be infrequent, or you may know precisely which outlet seems to be at fault, you cannot afford to convince yourself that the problem can just be ignored.

The convenience with which we can reset circuits in our homes these days is a bit of a double edged sword. It’s great for homeowners, but it can also lead us to overlook the potential for serious problems with our electrical systems, because it is so convenient to just flip the breaker back into position. You are going to trip circuits from time to time. If you find that this is a very regular occurrence in your home, though, allow us to take a look.

video in which Kathleen Packard, their Healthcare Market Development Manager, discusses how some innovations in lighting can positively affect the healing process (and save energy and money). Packard describes hospitals as being historically “institutional and very uncomfortable,” and her mission is to educate the public on the “importance of design” to patient health.

intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell in the human eye, which senses light and regulates the body’s systems, including melatonin levels, which are directly related to sleep. Visa’s Amber Night Light, she says, creates ambient light that won’t disturb the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell. This allows nurses to check on patients without disturbing their sleep.

Of course, all this valuable information leads us to the problems solved by Visa Lighting’s healthcare light fixtures. Packard calls special attention to the benefits of using LED fixtures. She reminds us that LEDs are indeed a great option for hospitals because they are energy efficient and therefore save money, reducing the cost of healthcare; they render color well, which is necessary, so that doctors and nurses can accurately assess skin pallor; and, unlike fluorescent lamps, LEDs contain no mercury.
