Whether you’re a contractor working on a large outdoor event, or an organizer, follow these key steps to ensure the electrical power meets your needs and runs smoothly.

Preparing Your Electrical Equipment for an Outdoor Event

Step 1: Understand The Space 

Before you power up a large outdoor event, it’s important to know the venue.

First, identify the size of the space, the number of attendees, and the likely power requirements for your lighting, sound, and safety needs. If you don’t have exact attendee numbers, err on the side of caution and assume there will be more participants rather than fewer. If possible, visit the site in person to get a first-hand look at the space.

Also, ensure you get a timetable of the event. That way, you can identify how much power you need at each time to avoid an electrical overload.

Step 2: Identify What You Need

The exact equipment you’ll need depends on the event’s size and scope, but here’s a general overview of the solutions available. 

Temporary Power Distribution Systems 

Without a doubt, you will need a generator. We recommend this BE Power Equipment generator or this portable backup generator with inverter. These will keep uninterrupted power flowing smoothly. 

You may also need a portable power station. We recommend this one by Southwire. 

And don’t forget to stock up on reliable batteries—you’ll need those, too!

Power Cables and Extension Cords 

You’ll need plenty of power cables and sturdy extension cords, depending on your specific event’s requirements. This 50′ cable and this 100′ cable by Southwire are reliable options. 

Don’t forget about cable protectors and other wire management supplies. Protect your cables to keep the event running smoothly and safely.

Lighting Equipment 

You may also require lighting, depending on the time of day and other factors. Consider string lights, spotlights, and lamps to illuminate pathways and poorly lit areas. 

For event personnel, keep flashlights and headlamps on hand. This Klein Tools flashlight and this Rack-A-Tiers rechargeable headlamp are great choices!

Portable Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs)

Designed for easy transport, portable GFCIs are a must-have for safety at large outdoor events. These compact devices help mitigate shocks and short circuits, ensuring that your event runs safely.

Either plug them into existing non-GFCI outlets, or connect with a cord and plug. These GFCIs include a no-voltage release device that disconnects power to outlets if a supply conductor opens. The ones designed specifically for outdoor use come in enclosures, but if you’re expecting rain at the event, make sure they’re waterproof.

Additional Considerations

This is just an introduction to help you get the lay of the land. You’ll likely need other products, such as cable ramps or environmentally friendly power choices. Check out our previous blog on the best products for summer adventures for more ideas.

Step 3: Set Up

Once you’ve determined the event’s requirements and what you need, it’s time to set up. Preparation is key to a flawless power setup, and we’re here to ensure your event goes off without a hitch.

You can shop our products online, visit one of our nearest locations, or contact our talented team. Let’s get this party started!

…If you’re a student, that is.

But if you’re a school facilities manager, your work might just be ramping up—especially when it comes to electrical projects. That’s because spring offers a unique window of opportunity to get any nagging projects done—while the weather is sunny, but not too hot. 

Here’s a list of five electrical spring-time projects you can complete.

Project #1: Lighting Audits

Before doing any updates at your school, conduct a lighting audit to see what needs to be done and to set priorities straight. You can even complete your audit before spring to ensure you’re prepared when spring rolls around.

Here are some tips on where to begin:

• Check lighting inventory. Start by putting together a detailed list of all lighting fixtures, noting their types and locations.
• Evaluate existing technology. Assess the school’s lighting technology, focusing on energy efficiency and sustainability.
• Collaborate with maintenance staff. Coordinate with maintenance staff to address immediate concerns and ensure safety compliance.

• Make a plan. Develop an action plan for during and after spring break. 

All this being said, conducting a lighting audit requires meticulous planning. Get in touch if you need support—we can help every step of the way! 

Project #2: Lighting Retrofits

Spring is short, so you’ll need to identify priorities for any lighting retrofits. 

Upgrading existing lighting systems to more energy-efficient alternatives such as LED lights can cut operational costs, reduce energy usage, and support the environment. Enhancing your school’s lighting also creates a better learning environment for students—which makes your job more rewarding!

Here are some lighting retrofit ideas:

• Upgrade to LEDs. Spring break is a great opportunity to make the switch to cost-saving LEDs, which will soon become mandatory in Canada. 
• Set occupancy sensors. Install occupancy sensors, such as these ones from Lutron. This will optimize energy usage in classrooms and other spaces when students and staff are away.
• Harvest daylight. Use daylight harvesting systems if this is an option for your school. You can adjust artificial lighting levels based on the availability of natural daylight to be more energy efficient.
• Add smart lighting controls. Centralize lighting management and scheduling to optimize energy usage during school hours with timers and dimmers.
• Assess lighting design. Identify areas with over- or under-lit spaces, and explore lighting design solutions to ensure an efficient distribution of light throughout each building.
• Upgrade emergency lighting. Enhance emergency lighting systems—including exit sign upgrades—with modern, energy-efficient options. This ensures you’re meeting safety compliance and reduces long-term maintenance costs.
• Use energy-efficient bulbs. Replace outdated bulbs with energy-efficient alternatives, such as LEDs, across the facility to improve overall efficiency.
• Explore energy rebate programs. Get to know energy rebate programs in your area that offset the costs of lighting retrofits along with other ways to cut back on energy costs.

Project #3: HVAC Upgrades

Upgrading and maintaining heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can improve both energy efficiency and indoor air quality. Following COVID-19 and amidst pesky flu season, maintaining high-quality ventilation is even more crucial to keeping people healthy. 

Here are some HVAC projects you can take on during spring:

• Inspect the HVAC systems. Assess the school’s existing HVAC systems to identify any inefficiencies or maintenance needs.
• Replace air filters. One of the best ways to ensure top system performance and improve indoor air quality by reducing dust and allergens is to regularly replace air filters.
• Upgrade thermostats. Switching to programmable or smart thermostats allows you to control temperature settings while saving energy and money.
• Inspect and seal ductwork. Repair any leaks or gaps in ductwork to prevent energy wastage and maintain consistent airflow.
• Upgrade HVAC units. Replace outdated HVAC units with more energy-efficient models to reduce energy consumption and operational costs.
• Monitor indoor air quality. Take this opportunity to set up indoor air quality monitoring systems to address ventilation concerns on an ongoing basis and ensure a healthy school environment.
• Upgrade ventilation systems. Your school’s ventilation systems should meet or exceed recommended standards to promote proper air exchange and reduce the risk of indoor pollutants.
• Consider adding energy recovery ventilators. These systems capture and reuse heat or cool air, improving overall energy efficiency.

Project #4: Electrical Safety Inspections

Inspecting electrical safety in schools is crucial year-round, but spring weather can give you the extra time you need to conduct more thorough checks. 

The following inspections can help identify and address any electrical safety  issues, update wiring, and replace faulty outlets or switches:

• Inspect electrical panels. Check for signs of wear, loose connections, or overheating that could pose safety risks.
• Assess wiring and conduit. Look for any damaged or exposed wiring or broken conduit.
• Check outlets and switches. Ensure they’re working properly, aren’t overloaded, and are equipped with safety features like ground fault circuit interrupters.
• Test emergency exit lighting. Inspect and test to ensure emergency lighting is up to speed in case of power outages or emergencies.
• Confirm appliance and equipment safety. Check all electrical appliances and equipment, including cords, plugs, and connections to prevent fire hazards.
• Inspect the electrical room. Electrical rooms should be organized and have clear access to panels and equipment. Safety protocols and signage should be clearly on display.
• Evaluate the grounding system. Check the school’s grounding system to confirm it’s working properly by providing a path for electrical faults to dissipate safely.
• Inspect fire alarms. Test the fire alarm system and electrical components to ensure they comply with safety regulations. Read more about other life safety systems to test regularly.

Project #5: Check your Datacom

Students, teachers, and administration rely heavily on technology, so ensuring up-to-date data communications at your school is vital. 

Let’s take a look at what you might include in a thorough examination of datacom on school grounds. Though some of these items might be outside your scope of work, this list can help identify what needs to be done.

• Examine network infrastructure. Inspect routers, switches, and cables, looking for signs of wear or degradation.
• Verify Wi-Fi and internet connectivity. Check the functionality and coverage of Wi-Fi access points and the school’s internet connection speed and reliability.
• Evaluate the VoIP system. Your school’s Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system should have clear communication and be properly integrated with other datacom.
• Inspect the security system. Check security cameras and access control systems to ensure they’re working and connected to the network.
• Assess digital learning tools. Check the functionality of interactive whiteboards or tablets.
• Review cloud services. Review the integration and accessibility of cloud services used for storing and accessing educational materials and data.

5 Tips for Choosing the Right Lighting Ballast

• July 4, 2023

Tips for Choosing the Right Lighting Ballast

1. Know the Different Types of Lighting Ballast

Put simply, ballasts do two main things in regulating and maintaining the performance of fluorescent and high-density discharge (HID) lamps: they start lamps and control lamp operations.

But before choosing a ballast, it’s important to know about the different types.

• Magnetic ballasts: Traditional and robust, these ballasts are commonly used with older fluorescent lighting fixtures. They tend to be less energy efficient than other types of ballasts, however, and can produce flickering and humming sounds.
• Electronic ballasts: More energy-efficient and offering better lamp performance than magnetic ballasts, these are suitable for a wide range of applications. They’re often used with newer fluorescent and compact fluorescent (CFL) fixtures.
• Digital ballasts: The most advanced type, these provide superior control and efficiency, especially for high-intensity lighting applications.
• LED Drivers: If your building has LED lighting fixtures, you’ll need LED drivers instead of traditional ballasts. These electronic devices regulate the power supply to LED lights. They’re energy-efficient, have long lifespans, and offer dimming capabilities. LED drivers come in different types, such as constant current drivers and constant voltage drivers, selected based on the specific LED fixtures you have.

2. Evaluate Energy Efficiency

Next, it’s important to consider energy efficiency. Look for ballasts with the ENERGY STAR® symbol, as they meet internationally recognized standards for energy efficiency. Ballasts with this symbol consume less energy, emit less heat, and have a longer lifespan than ballasts without. You can also select ballasts that are compatible with energy-saving lamps, such as LED tubes, to reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs.

3. Consider Lighting Requirements and Lamp Compability

Before choosing ballasts, check your lamp types. Different ballasts are designed for different lamp types, such as T5, T8, or T12 fluorescent lamps and HID lamps. Be sure to check the manufacturer’s specifications for recommended lamp types and wattages. Using the correct ballast enhances lamp life, reduces flickering, and maintains consistent lighting levels.

4. Assess Dimming and Control Options

Many ballasts are compatible with dimming systems. So if your residential or commercial building has advanced lighting control features, select dimming ballasts that meet these needs. Dimming helps save energy, creates ambiance, and improves occupant comfort.

5. Choose Reliable Brands

Your ballast is only as good as the brand you source it from. Here at Albrite and E.B. Horsman & Son, you can trust that we only supply ballasts from outstanding manufacturers like Signify, Philips, Lutron, Leviton, and others. 

Choosing from a well-known, reliable brand makes your work easier by keeping maintenance and longevity in mind. Once you pick your brand of choice, look for ballasts that offer easy installation, have a long operational life, require minimal maintenance, and offer warranty options.

Here is a guide for Philips Lamp, (LED & Traditional), Ballasts and Drivers.

Common FAQs

Our customers often need ballasts for their specific use cases. If you’re a property manager for a residential or commercial building or a purchasing agent for a nationwide chain—like many of our customers—here are some additional factors to consider.

“I’m a property manager for a residential building. What ballasts should I choose?”

Choosing the right ballasts for your building depends on several factors, including the type of lighting fixtures you have, your energy-efficiency goals, and your budget. 

But in general, electronic ballasts are a great choice for energy-conscious residential buildings. They provide better light quality, reduce flickering, and eliminate humming noises, keeping your residents happy.

“I’m a purchasing agent. Are there any special considerations for my needs?”

Many of our customers are purchasing agents for commercial chains. If this sounds like you, make sure to:

• Understand your building’s requirements: Consider the type and quantity of fixtures, wattage requirements, and any specific features or compatibility requirements.
• Research and compare: Learn about the different lighting ballast options, and compare their specifications, features, energy efficiency ratings, and pricing. Sound overwhelming? Don’t worry—our team can help you narrow it down!
• Comply with regulations: Ensure that your ballasts comply with electrical safety standards, environmental regulations, and energy-efficiency requirements in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, or wherever your building is located.
• Consider future building expansions or upgrades: To accommodate future expansion or upgrades to your buildings’ lighting systems, consider ballasts that are flexible and compatible with a range of lighting fixtures. This can help save money down the road by streamlining future retrofitting projects and minimizing compatibility issues.
