Capitalize on Trenton - It All Starts in the UEZ

Griffith Electric Supply benefits from being a part of Trenton's Urban Enterprise Zone. We strive to provide the best for our customers. The Urban Enterprise Zone helps us to achieve this goal.

Imagine going to a big box store for a 700.00 item. The tax at 7% adds on another 49.00! With Griffith Electric Supply in Trenton that 49.00 is cut in half. If you are working on large projects the savings can be immense.

Our PA customers can incur anywhere from 6 to 8 % sales tax depending on where they are. With 3.5% the trip to Griffith Electric Supply can be well worth the visit.

Griffith Electric is not the only business that enjoys this wonderful benefit. For more information on Trenton's Urban Enterprise zone visit www.trentonuez.org.

OSRAM SYLVANIA Ultra IQ LED Lamp Family

Today we are going to take a look at the very cool and innovative OSRAM SYLVANIA Ultra IQ LED Lamp Family product line.

SYLVANIA ULTRA iQ LED Lamps are wirelessly controlled devices that operate on a Zigbee Home Automation System and utilize a router and a Hub. (Items sold separately)

With these lights you can easily set up a system that can be fully controlled while in the comforts of your bedroom (In case you forgot to turn off the lights while you were downstairs!), while you are away on vacation (leaving the appearance of some one being home) and many other areas that are not within the confines of your house.

 

These lamps have integrated dimmer controls eliminating the need to interface with incandescent dimmer switches.

 

From the app on your phone you will have full control over your lights including changing the color of them.

 

The Ultra IQ LED system is easy just screw in the bulb, configure it to the router and hub, download the app and you are done and ready to control any lamp on the system wirelessly.

 

ULTRA iQ LED Lamps are energy saving replacements for 65W incandescent BR lamps and last 17.5 time longer than their incandescent equivalents. Available in 2700K color temperature, this intelligent lighting lasts 35,000 hours and dims down to 5%. These lamps are ideal for use in general lighting, recessed downlighting, wall washing and track lighting applications. They emit no UV or IR radiation that can cause fading and discoloration of fabric or artwork.

Here is a quick how to video to show you how simple installing a Sylvania Retrofit kit can be.

Protecting your roof, gutters, and pipes with Raychem

When it comes to protecting your assets from the winter months there are a handful of products out there. One of them really stands out. Here at Griffith Electric Supply we really like the Raychem Self-Regulating Heating Products line.

With the Raychem Self-Regulating cables there is no more worrying about overheating or burnouts from overlapping. The conductive polymer core automatically adjusts heat output at each point along the pipe. When the cable overlaps the cable adjusts its heat output at that point along the path so that it cannot overheat.

In areas where the pipe is too cold the H612 and H622 cables know to increase the output so that the pipe does not freeze. This not only protects your property but saves energy as well. Unlike constant feed heat tapes.

The Raychem Self Regulating cables are unlike any others in the industry. With their parallel circuitry technology you can cut the cable to your desired length while maintaining the power output.

As shown in the diagram below the parallels circuitry allows current to flow between the bus wires that run throughout the cable.

 

Should you cut the cable you will still be left with a complete circuit. (Never twist the bus wires! This will cause a short in the wire.)

 

On top of the bus wires and parallel circuitry is a self regulating conductive core. This core is what allows for the parallel flow of current along the paths.

 

After the conductive core you have the electrical insulating jacket, followed by the tinned copper braid and the waterproof polyolefin outer jacket. (This wire is not designed for high temp applications. Raychem does have a commercial department for such applications. If you are looking for these call us and we will get you in the right direction.)

 

The dry cables are the same with the exception of the waterproof polyolefin outer jacket. The dry cables are intended for dry areas so there is no need for the out jacket.

 

Raychem cables can be straight-traced, spiraled, or overlapped. Allowing for easy installation.

 

These cables are also safe on plastics. Because of their self-regulating technology there is no cause for concern of melting plastic pipes.

 

 



 

 

The WinterGard Wet Roof and Deicing system is just as simple and economical to use.  

With the Raychem system there is no more worrying about ice dams damaging your roof with backed up water. Utilizing the belt loop approach creates water ways for the melting water to move off of your roof.

 

The system can be run along inside of your gutters and down the downspouts keeping the water moving freely. It is highly recommended these areas be fitted with the self regulating wet area cables. If you leave these areas out of your system you will be allowing the down spouts to freeze which defeats the point.
