Over 90% of power supplies are universal in size and shape. The remaining small percentage consisting of power supplies of 1200W and more are not universal as they vary due to the main power connector. Despite not being universal, these power supplies should be compatible with the available main power connector to work efficiently. Types … Read more
Yes! You can use LED light bulbs in any regular fixture. However, it should not be air-tight or enclosed and simply not an old-style dimmer system. Apart from fixture types, other factors like lumen capacity, wattage, and heat dissipation play significant roles. Consider all these factors before deciding between switching to LED lights bulbs. If … Read more
Typically, LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are semiconductors that usually convert electrical energy to light energy. The emitted light color depends on the materials of a semiconductor and its composition. LEDs are categorized into three wavelengths, i.e., ultraviolet, visible, and infrared. The commercial LEDs wavelength with a single-element output of 5Mw is between 275 to 950 nm. … Read more
The most popular LEDs require a forward operating voltage of around 1.3V-3.6V and the forward current rating of 10mA-30mA, while 12-20mA being the standard range. Forward current and operating voltage usually differ regarding the semiconductor material used by the manufacturer. However, conduction starts and light is generated; it’s around 1.2v for a regular red LED … Read more

The two brands are under the umbrella brand of Stanley Black &Decker, even though they are not created equally. Dewalt offers mid-to-high-end quality tools for professionals, while black & Decker offers affordable low-end tools suitable for … Read more
Alternating Current (AC) and direct currents (DC) are the only ways an electric current can flow. But over the years, AC has remained the most dominant way over direct current. This is mainly because of its ability to minimize energy losses by modifying its voltage with ease using a transformer. The fact that it’s also … Read more
Whether to pursue a plumbing or electrician career highly depend on individuals’ interests. Some people think electric work is more comfortable and cleaner than plumbing, while for others, it’s the opposite. But it’s good to know that in both of these professions, there are easy and difficult tasks that must be done. As much as … Read more
