LED Landscape Lights

Why use or switch to LED?

  • LEDs last up to 20 times longer than standard incandescent lamps, translating to low maintenance.
  • LEDs are solid-state devices with nomoving parts, glass or filaments to break.
  • LEDs don’t waste energy in the form of non-light producing heat. They are cool to the touch and as a result, lighting fixtures and lenses are cool.
  • LEDs are small in size and resistant to vibration or shock.
  • LEDs contain no mercury and are environmentally friendly.
  • LEDs are more efficient, using up to 90% less energy than other light sources based on watts.

These fixtures are available in both low voltage and line voltage, and cover applications from accent lighting and path lighting, to step lighting, inground and underwater lighting.

 

Tamper Resistant Outlets

The Best Protection For Small Children

Approximately 2,400 children receive emergency room treatment every year for injuries caused by inserting objects into electrical receptacles, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). This equates to about seven children each day. Even more alarming is that the report found that over 70% of these electrical incidents occur at home, with adult supervision typically present.

Using a plastic outlet cap is a common solution to prevent children from sticking objects into outlets. Unfortunately, plastic caps are not the safest option and can be easily removed by a young child. A safer solution is installing tamper resistant outlets. These specialized outlets have been so effective in preventing injuries to children that the 2008 National Electrical Code requires that tamper resistant outlets be installed in all new homes constructed. However, these inexpensive products can easily be incorporated into older homes as well.

What Are Tamper Proof Outlets?

Tamper Proof Outlets are standard wall outlets that feature a shutter mechanism that protects children from sticking foreign objects into the receptacle (like hairpins, keys and paper clips). The spring-loaded shutter system in the outlet only allows electricity to flow when equal pressure is applied simultaneously to both shutters such as when an electrical plug is inserted. During unused conditions, both shutters are closed, and openings are covered.
