About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals.

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on:

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

LIFX Introduces Two New Decorative Polychrome Bulbs — a T10 Opal Frosted Glass Tube & an E26 Screw B10 Candle

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LIFX, the renowned smart lighting company recently acquired by Feit Electric, is excited to announce the latest additions to its innovative smart lighting catalog – the LIFX Polychrome T10 Opal Frosted Glass Tube, and a new variant of the iconic LIFX B10 Polychrome Candle. These innovative LED bulbs combine unmatched functionality with a customizable style that aligns perfectly with today's interior designs and modern smart home trends.

The all-new, LIFX Polychrome Tube adds a distinctive touch of elegance with its uniquely shaped, opal glass diffuser and boasts a staggering 104 LEDs with 52 controllable zones for a rich spectrum of color and light. Building on the legacy of the first multicolor Candle, LIFX is now introducing the first multizone bulb with a standard E26 screw base, an upgrade from the original E12 screw base, and 26 LEDs inside the tower that creates a seemingly infinite canvas of color and light that can attach to a myriad of lamp fixtures throughout the home.

Both include the latest polychrome technology that enables dynamic lighting effects that will surprise and delight, with thematic moods, such as:

  • Setting a crackling fire in Flame Mode
  • Enjoying multicolored lava in Morph Mode
  • Watching fluffy white clouds float by on a blue sky in Cloud Mode
  • Painting your colors onto the surface of the bulb via the app
  • Waking up gently to a simulated sunrise or easing into sleep with a sunset
  • Exploring a rich spectrum of millions of colors, a full range of cool to warm whites, various themes, and blending options
  • Syncing lighting effects across all LIFX products, all at the touch of a button

“Interior designers know and love LIFX because we are committed to continuously pushing the boundaries of what home lighting can achieve," said Alan Feit, president of Feit Electric. "Our focus is on developing innovative and exciting products that not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of home decor, but that also allow for easy installation and integration with modern smart home ecosystems.”

Similar to the new LIFX Supercolor Smart Lights released earlier this year, the Polychrome Tube and E26 Candle provide enhanced smart home functionality in two contemporary form factors.

Both bulbs integrate seamlessly with modern smart home systems, including Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings with compatibility through Matter, the latest standard of smart home connectivity. Manage it all via voice control, scheduling effects, scene management, and integrations or fade tools like Alexa light alarms or Google Sleep/Wake. This interoperability allows you to control your lights using voice commands, the dynamic LIFX app, available on iOS and Android, or automation via your preferred platform.

“We’re particularly excited about the Polychrome Tube since it’s the first of its kind,” said Mark Hollands, chief technology officer of LIFX. “Unlike standard bulbs, the Tube is ideal for exposed bulb fixtures, where the polychrome capability truly shines, offering vibrant color shifts that are less noticeable when covered by a lampshade.”

The LIFX Polychrome Tube is currently available exclusively in-store or online at The Home Depot with a starting price of $39.98, and the LIFX Polychrome E26 Candle is currently available exclusively in-store or online at The Home Depot with a starting price of $29.98.
