In addition to standard T8 lamps and electronic ballasts, a new generation of optimized, "high-efficiency" T8 lamps and electronic ballasts has recently been introduced. Available in a range of energy-saving models, including 30 watt, 25 watt, and 17 watt versions, these products can reduce total system wattage by over 45 percent relative to the use of older T12 fluorescent systems driven by magnetic ballasts, and by as much as 20-30 percent relative to the use of conventional T8 lamps and electronic ballasts. Low mercury versions are also available to ensure that the lamps do the utmost to promote environmental responsibility and sustainability. Through the incorporation of amalgam technology, which enables the delivery of greater light output over a wider temperature range, these fluo...

Improving lighting can benefit those with aging eyes, but it can also help reduce eye strain for just about anyone using a home work area with insufficient lighting. And certainly one of the most-used work areas in the home is the kitchen. In almost every remodel we have ever done, we doubled or tripled the existing lighting and it was a hit every time. Under-cabinet lighting, lighting in pantries and additional task lighting are a few of the additions that everyone loved. Under-cabinet lighting really puts the light on the work surface where it belongs, to help with reading recipes, mixing ingredients and even being able to clearly see what's on the countertop. Xenon under-cabinet lighting is without doubt the brightest and whitest we have ever seen. The same goes for the laundry. Laun...
Kitchener was among the first to specify that certain products were to be used exclusively in their commercial properties. Traditionally, a contract would just involve the supply and delivery of a product. However, the city saw a real partnership opportunity with Gerrie Electric Wholesale Limited, one of the largest independent electrical distributors in Canada and Sylvania Lighting Services, the industry leader in lighting service and maintenance. "It seemed like a natural fit to me to bring our vendor of record, Gerrie Electric, and the manufacturer, Osram Sylvania, into one agreement," said Steve Rudak, buyer, purchasing, Financial Services Department for Kitchener. "Although it took a good deal of time to organize and get the buy in, at the end there is added value and the tendering...
It's a huge responsibility, for sure," says Cardinal, who spent six hugely successful seasons as Corner Gas's simple but effective cop, Davis Quinton. "That's undeniable. Other people shy away from it, but I don't. It's part of the responsibility -- you're a visible person, you're a beacon, and it's your job to instil hope, and let young people know that anything is possible. "All of them, actually," he says. "I've seen most of them before, but I'm so looking forward to seeing Buffy Sainte-Marie. She's such an icon; I'm just going to be honoured to be on the same stage as her." "I don't see myself as a role model, because that infers different things, and spouting something or other," he says. "I'm an actor who happens to be a native guy and who happens to be successful. I'm not preac...
There's a whole comfort issue ... and one of the reasons we can feel safe is because we're lit at night. Because the repair of broken streetlights is not under the city's jurisdiction, McCrea urges anyone with a streetlight concern to either call their councillor - who can pass on the info - or Manitoba Hydro directly to complain.
He's a top player," Flames centre Craig Conroy said of [Iginla]. "There are expectations going into every season. I remember reading all the stuff earlier in the year -- [Jarome] got the big ticket, Jarome's the captain, how Jarome does is how the team does. I mean, there's a lot of pressure. Is Jarome going to have a fast start? A slow start? And, obviously, he's off to an unbelievable start. He's just rolling, feeling good. "It's about guys pushing other guys," [Daymond Langkow] said. "I think that's what you've seen so far this year. We've got a lot of guys with a lot of skill. But skill alone doesn't get it done. You've got to work hard. "It takes focus and commitment every game -- you can't take a night off," Langkow said. "It takes your teammates being focused as well. Nobody ca...
The streetposts are very high," [Gilles Arpin] added, speaking of the scale of lighting on Portage. "There is, to my analysis, five times the amount of light needed by the general regulations. "It's not lighting that makes streets safer," Arpin said. "There's not more crime during the day than at night. It has to do with appealing to people to be outdoors, so that when there are people outdoors, the space is safe." "This trail will provide an opportunity to walk through the downtown districts to shop, dine or wander under the enlightenmment of memories," the company's lighting master plan said. "The trail could eventually reach St. Boniface via the Provencher pedestrian bridge (Esplanade Riel)."
Is it expensive to upkeep this over time?" asked St. Vital Coun. Gord Steeves. [Gilles Arpin] and Stefano Grande, executive director of the Downtown Business Improvement Zone, the non-profit agency that sponsored the lighting plan, said a similar plan in Old Montreal, though on a larger scale, cost that city's government about $150,000 a year to run. "The dollars are there in the private sector," he told the committee. "It's just a matter of creating a partnership.
