Columbia Lighting Introduces New Versify Architectural Edge-Lit Luminaire
November 21, 2016
Whether you're looking for economical outdoor lighting solutions or corrosion-resistant fixtures for punishing industrial environments, Sceptalight fixtures from IPEX prove themselves to be all-round performers in a variety of indoor and outdoor applications.
Sceptalight fixtures are made from a glass-reinforced thermoplastic polyester resin, which enables them to stand up better to corrosive elements than metal. This thermoplastic design marries strength, stiffness and toughness with all the benefits users appreciate of Scepter rigid PVC conduit and fittings — long life, easy servicing and high impact resistance.
Sceptalight's thermoplastic construction offers outstanding corrosion and chemical resistance, and its interior and exterior silicone gaskets create a watertight seal, the reason it performs equally well indoors and outside.
Wherever you need a lighting fixture that can withstand exposure to chemicals, fluids or harsh physical conditions, you'll find a home for Sceptalight.

Grimard is more competitive and produces estimates 3X faster with Procore
When the pandemic lockdowns started in March of 2020, Grimard (an electrical contractor) had to decide whether to shut down its operations entirely or implement a new platform with people who were now freely available for work. Once they implemented Procore, they found a way to efficiently communicate with stakeholders and offer full transparency in terms of project costs and planning. It also allowed Grimard to utilize historical data to make project estimates more accurate. Grimard was able to streamline its bidding process, which made it more attractive to potential clients and helped the business grow.

The RenuWell Project partners are excited to announce the groundbreaking of two pilot sites located near Taber, Alberta. These pilot sites are the first of their kind to repurpose inactive oil and gas infrastructure as a foundation for renewable energy development and job creation.
When operating, the solar projects will generate 2,030 MWh annually – enough electricity to power 280 average Alberta households or irrigate 11,700 acres of farmland for an average year. This is roughly equivalent to $200,000 in electricity sales per year with 1,100 tCO2e savings in GHG emissions. Over a 25-year lifespan, the projects will generate 50,750 MWh, with GHG emission savings of 28,420 tCO2e.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates 350 employees are killed annually in electrocution accidents, which roughly equals one fatality per day. In the face of these dangers, OSHA officials and industry safety consultants alike recommend eliminating potential hazards on work sites, rather than simply relying on contractors or employees to follow safety guidelines.
To help safeguard employees from electrocution, Emerson has launched its Appleton™ Powertite™ Lock Collar, a device that fastens over plug and connector connections and is secured with a padlock, preventing unauthorized personal from disconnecting the cable connection once in place.
