Installing dimmer switches can add a new level of functionality, ambiance, and energy efficiency to your home or office lighting. Some areas worth considering include family & living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, home offices, kitchens, accent lighting in cabinets, and conference room, though any space where the ability to control the ambience of the space is a fine candidate for light dimming. Dimmers also save energy, extend the life span of your bulbs, and can help reduce strain on eyes!

Have you ever gazed out the window during a thunderstorm and wondered what kind of voltage potential is inside of the lightning bolts dancing down from the sky? The voltage in a lightning strike can vary significantly depending on various factors such as the length of the lightning bolt, the strength of the electric field, and the specific conditions of the lightning discharge. On average, a typical cloud-to-ground lightning strike can carry voltages in the range of 100 million to 1 billion volts. For reference, most of the modern primary power lines found on poles outside of a home are only 25kV, and transmission lines from the dams only go as high as 500kV. Stay safe during storms!
