Yes I have a news blog on my website. But I could use some ideas about what I should write about. Any advice? How about how to avoid getting tangled in Christmas lights?

I have worked on all kinds of residential projects From multi million dollar high rise apartments and huge homes to small service calls to fix some little thing that is not working right. My favorite jobs the last few years have been kitchen and bathroom remodeling where we can bring modern lighting fixtures in to create a very artistic and pleasing environment for yourself and your guests.

I have worked on many small businesses in Marin to promptly restore electricity to major appliances, lighting fixtures, dimmers and overloaded circuits that can interupt the flow of your business.

I am a journeyman carpenter and have worked with Tom Remus on 3 different jobs. He integrated well with the other sub contractors and was very efficient and neat. His knowledge of modern lighting was excellent. I have also employed Tom in my own home. Results were great.

I was thrilled with the work you did Tom. Your name was given to me by a neighbor and they said they were very happy with you. So, when all the electrical outlets on two walls of one room went out, I had you come over. You traced the problem, explained it and fixed it. Your work was terrific, your price was more that fair and you even called a sheet rock guy, to come over to patch the holes you had to cut in my walls to add the new circuit. I just gave your name to a friend of mine who needs some electrical work done. Thank you Tom. You are #1 in my electrical world.

COMPARISON CHARTS FOR INCANDESCENT, CFL AND LED BULBS.

As an electrician, I get a lot of questions about the comparison between incandescent, compact fluorescent and LED lighting. In the old days we chose our bulbs by wattage because we were familiar with the light output of a 40 watt, 60 watt and 100 watt bulb. The new technologies in lighting with CFL and LED is a bit confusing if we stick to wattage only. The new way of understanding and comparing light bulbs is now “Lumens” or brightness.

The above chart shows on the top line, the Lumens or brightness output.
Line two shows the wattage of the bulbs we are familiar with, 40, 60, 75, 100 watts.
The next three lines show the wattage for Halogen, CFLs and LEDs for each Lumen value.

So a standard 60 watt incandescent bulb puts out 800 Lumens. If you want the same brightness output, but want to go to CFL or LED, you would buy a 14 watt CFL or a 13 watt LED.
