Intelligent Power

The Square-D Intelligent Load Center features automatic switching between main and alternate power sources. The unit, produced by Schneider Electric in collaboration with Kohler Power Systems, lets users monitor and control the generator via remote in case of a power failure. Should that occur, a generator is signaled to start, and power is restored within 10 seconds. Click here for more information 











A Light Touch

The Designer Icon Series is part of a new engraving option on the Metropolitan, Euro, S-Series and E-Series keypads from LiteTouch. Typically buttons are engraved with words, but now users can choose from more than 50 functional icons. Icons include fans; fireplaces; blinds and shutters; security systems; and more.

 Under the Tuscan Sky

Meyda Lighting has a new addition: the Tuscany Collection of wine and olive bottle-shaped pendants, which have a slender profile. Offered in blue, white and green etchings, the pendants include a canopy and 72-inch wire so homeowners can extend the height from 16 to 84 inches off the ceiling.

 Up to Code

In response to the updated National Electrical Code, Pass & Seymour has updated its line of tamper-resistant products. The company employs a UL-listed shutter system that protects small children from electrical shock without impairing normal plug use. Offerings include the Tamper-Resistant Hallway Light/Receptacle Combination devices and Decorator Receptacles. Click here for more information 










 Wahoo, Pahu

The Pahu family of double-glass ceiling pendants from Besa Lighting are made to spice up the ambiance above bars and dining tables. Part of the KG product family, the pendants have three different sizes in four styles. The Pahu 8 model stands at about 8 by 10 and uses a single 100-watt A19 incandescent lamp.

 Rejuvenate Your Lights

The design on those Edison sockets is more than 125 years old; it's high time for some innovation. The GU24 system from Rejuvenation uses a self-ballasted compact fluorescent lamp with a convenient "twist and lock" pin base. Added bonus: the product fits well within California's Title 24 Energy Efficiency Standards. Click here for more information
