Digital devices lose their meaning when they are out of power, and so most users are heavily reliant on power charging, charging pods, portable chargers and power banks. Charging however should be done with caution because it comes with safety risks.

ConsumerReports.org posted in their website safety tips on using electrical charges. In the same article, they mentioned accidents that have seriously injured digital device users who have misused their device chargers. Builders and Contractors

"Respect your phone: They seem like innocuous devices, but they can be dangerous, said Sean Cummings, the U.K. medical examiner who investigated Bull's death. So be mindful of those threats. Think twice before going into the bathroom with any device that's plugged in, Drengenberg adds. Use the right charger: Though it's not clear what type of cords or adapters were used in the Ball and Wiley accidents, a Chinese flight attendant was electrocuted in 2013 by a phone plugged into a faulty third-party charger. The incident prompted Apple to launch an education program, including a special discount for any consumer who took a third-party charger in for replacement. Drengenberg's advice: Stick to chargers approved by the manufacturer. At the very least, make sure they have a UL mark signifying that they've been put through a UL certification process."

The danger of using phone chargers

UK-Media Agency BBC also mentioned in one of their published articles the dangers of using digital device chargers. In their write-up they mentioned that the dangers lie on using substandard versions which cannot hold up to the electrical safety requirements set forth by the government. Electricians

"A central part of the safety concerns experts have with products bought online focuses on generic chargers – advertised as being compatible with a number of devices. Mr Gardiner says that because different devices require different levels of charge, generic chargers run the risk of putting too much energy into a device, causing the battery to overheat. Branded chargers are less likely to cause that problem because they are specifically designed for each particular device, Mr. Gardiner said. He adds that they are the most reliable in safety terms."

Digital Trends also has its take on the safety of using device chargers. In one of their web posts they discussed the ways consumers can stay safe whilst charging their phones, laptops, Ipads, Ipods, smart watches and the like.

"Though there is a lot of talk about carcinogens and harmful components in phones, unless your phone is in a fire or extreme scenario, these components are generally inert and safe. Beyond cutting yourself on the glass display if it cracks, there's little danger to be had. The problems we've heard of usually stem from the circuitry and the battery, which together pose two real dangers: risk of shock and risk of fire (or explosion). Fire hazard: Lithium-ion batteries are basically a slurry of electrodes and contacts that store energy. If improperly discharged, punctured, or overheated, a battery could very well catch fire or explode. Shock hazard: When it comes to the circuitry, a short in the system can cause the device to shock you, or lead to overcharging or overheating – which can also cause the battery to catch fire, or explode."

Parenting website Maman on the Trails published an article citing several reasons why having a picnic is good for children. Apart from family bonding, one of the reasons mentioned in the article is the health benefits an outdoor picnic provides to the whole family.

"The sun doesn't just help provide light, heat, and vegetation; it also provides the body with vitamin D, which helps in the absorption of calcium. Calcium is necessary to build strong bones and teeth, so receiving sufficient amounts of vitamin D can reduce the risk of osteoporosis and rickets, which is a disease, characterized by weak bones or bowed legs. Sunshine can also improve mood and relieve stress. The stress that builds up during the workweek can be, at times, overwhelming. You can be sure that your children are stressed too, even if they don't express it in the same ways you do. Therefore, a picnic could be the perfect solution for the whole family."

Electrician’s tips on installing security lighting

Security Lighting 101

Security camera

Security lights, CCTV and motion sensor help boost security measures in residential and commercial properties. (Photo Credits)

Safety and security will always be a priority in any household, and so installing security lights can be an option to boost safety measures within the property.

The Family Handyman came up with a comprehensive article explaining how these security lights and motion sensors work. They also shred tips on how to go about choosing and using these security lights. Builders and Contractors

“Motion detectors are small electronic eyes that detect infrared waves—heat waves that radiate from moving objects. When the detector senses an object moving across its field of view—especially warmer objects such as people, animals and cars—it electronically turns on the lights. The motion sensing light stays on anywhere from 1 to 20 minutes, depending on how you preset the timer. Then the detector automatically shuts the light off unless it continues to sense movement. A photocell deactivates the motion sensing light during daylight hours. A motion sensored light has a semicircular field of view of up to 240 degrees and a distance range, adjustable on most detectors, that extends to 70 ft. or more. An outdoor motion sensor light will react to the movement of your dog, an approaching person, a passing car or sometimes even wind-blown leaves.”

Best type of security lights

Home improvement website The Spruce also shared several tips in choosing the best security light for the home. They also shared factors to consider in choosing such an installation. Electricians

(Related Post: Electrician’s tips in installing Holiday Lights )

“The Bottom Line: (1) Outdoor security lights need to be installed so that they will provide light where you want it. (2) They should provide the light when it is needed; the most effective and efficient security lighting will be equipped with automatic controls. (3) All outdoor fixtures need to be weatherproof, weather resistant or if they will be protected from water, suitable for damp locations. (4) If the fixtures will also be part of the appearance of your home, they should be made in a style that complements the style of the home. (5) Use light bulbs that are dimmable if the light will be controlled with automated controls, especially if that includes a photocell.”

Check out the rest of the write-up here.

Related Electrical Repair and Installation Services:

Chron.com meanwhile shared some tips on using security lighting features at home. One of the tips they mentioned is to protect the security lighting fixtures once installed.

“No matter what kind of security lighting you have, without protection, all you will have is a couple of smashed light bulbs. Many businesses keep their lighting high atop light posts or inside the ceilings with clear plastic protecting them. Other businesses use mesh wire to protect lights from thrown objects or debris during storms. Invest in protecting your security lighting.”

Security lighting is best installed by a licensed electrician contractor. This is to ensure safety and correct installation.
