They are increasingly becoming more efficient, more affordable, and producing a better quality light output. As opposed to incandescent lighting which produced a standard color of light, we are now very conscious of what color the light bulbs we are installing are going to produce. The Kelvin scale is used to let the consumer know what color of light the bulbs will put out.

Not only are they safer, but they are means of protection for your electronic equipment. You should also make sure that you have proper Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection to all bathroom, kitchen countertop, garage, outdoor, and basement locations. Our technicians would be happy to examine your electrical system for proper GFCI protection. Do you have any switches that are not working, or maybe one that you have to wiggle just right in order to get the light on?
