Top 3 Mistakes Inspectors Cite on Residential Downlight Installs

Looking at common feedback from code officials, electrical inspectors, and trade publications to discern the top three mistakes inspectors most often cite with residential downlight installations. One of the biggest errors is installing a non-IC-rated downlight in contact with or too close to insulation. Non-IC (Insulation Contact) fixtures require clearance from insulation because they overheat when buried, posing a fire risk. Inspectors frequently find fixtures either covered with blown-in insulation or improperly spaced, which is an automatic red flag.

Stanpro: Reducing Light Pollution Through Your Choice of Outdoor Lighting

Since the advent of the Industrial Revolution, western societies have gotten into the habit of living in a world surrounded by light, both inside and outside the home, which allows people to pursue their activities after the sun has gone down. And yet, have you ever given any thought to the negative effects of an overly lit environment? The overriding consequence is light pollution of our cities! What can be done to counter this phenomenon? Light pollution is an occurrence that manifests itself at dusk. It is caused by an overabundance of misdirected, ineffective, and useless lighting systems, most notably in urban areas where artificial light sources such as street lamps, are used excessively.

Understanding IK Ratings: Why Impact Resistance Matters in LED Lighting

When selecting your lighting fixtures, performance, efficiency, and longevity are often top priorities. But there’s another critical factor that’s sometimes overlooked — impact resistance, measured by an IK rating. Whether your lighting is installed in a rugged industrial facility or an exposed outdoor environment, understanding IK ratings ensures your fixtures can handle the job safely and reliably.

Understanding Melanopic Lighting for Improved Indoor Environments

Light plays a crucial role not only in our ability to see but also in regulating our internal body clock, sleep patterns, and overall well-being. Traditional lighting design primarily focuses on visual comfort and task illumination. However, recent advancements have shed light on the concept of melanopic lighting, which specifically targets the non-visual effects of light on human health. Human eyes contain special light-sensitive cells called intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). These cells contain a photopigment called melanopsin, which is most sensitive to blue-green light wavelengths. When stimulated by light, melanopsin triggers various non-visual responses in the body.
