ELECTRICAL, LIGHTING & POWER

Electrical, Lighting & Power supplies include lithium replacement batteries for facilities, offices, maintenance teams, and commercial equipment. These batteries help keep compatible devices powered, from equipment using CR2016, CR2025, or CR2032 coin cells to CR123 and CR2 devices, including security equipment with intermittent or continuous drain. Select batteries by the required format and 3V rating, then consider pack quantity for replacement stocking; CR123 options also offer low self-discharge and temperature resistance from -4°F to 167°F.

What These Products Are For

What Electrical, Lighting & Power Products Are Used For

These products support building infrastructure, equipment operation, and facility maintenance. Common uses include installing or replacing wiring and conduit, setting up lighting systems, managing power backup, controlling circuits, and keeping devices charged and operational across commercial and industrial environments.

How To Choose

How to Choose the Right Electrical or Power Product

Start by identifying your application: new installation, replacement, or upgrade. Then consider voltage and amperage requirements, environment (indoor vs. outdoor, wet vs. dry), code compliance needs, and whether you need portable power, permanent wiring, or lighting control. Match product specs to your load and location.

Common Applications

Common Applications Across Electrical & Power Categories

Typical applications include office and warehouse lighting upgrades, panel and breaker installations, backup power for critical equipment, low-voltage wiring for data and controls, switch and receptacle replacement, and battery maintenance for vehicles, tools, and emergency devices.

Additional Information

What to Know Before You Buy

Always verify local electrical codes before purchasing wiring, boxes, or panels. Check compatibility between components such as switches, receptacles, and load ratings. For lighting, confirm fixture type, bulb base, and lumens output. For backup power, match runtime requirements to battery capacity and inverter wattage.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Planning Guide

Step 1: Define Your Scope and Environment

Before selecting products, clarify whether the work involves new construction, renovation, or maintenance. Identify the environment: commercial office, industrial facility, outdoor, or hazardous location. This determines the enclosure ratings, wire gauges, and fixture types you'll need.

  • New construction typically requires conduit, wire, boxes, panels, and fixtures specified to local code
  • Renovation or replacement work may require matching existing voltage, amperage, and box configurations
  • Outdoor and wet locations require weatherproof or watertight-rated components
  • Hazardous or industrial environments may require explosion-proof or heavy-duty rated equipment
Planning Guide

Step 2: Calculate Load and Power Requirements

Matching your electrical components to actual load requirements prevents overloads, equipment damage, and code violations. Add up the wattage or amperage of all devices on a circuit before selecting wire gauge, breakers, or power distribution equipment.

  • Wire gauge must match the amperage rating of the circuit and breaker
  • Power strips and distribution units should be rated above your expected peak load
  • Battery backup systems should be sized for runtime, not just wattage
  • Lighting loads should account for fixture wattage plus any dimmer or control compatibility
Planning Guide

Step 3: Select Compatible Controls and Accessories

Switches, receptacles, and controls must be compatible with the wiring, load type, and any smart or automated systems in use. Confirm that boxes, covers, and mounting hardware match your wall or panel configuration before ordering.

  • GFCI and AFCI receptacles are required in specific locations by most electrical codes
  • Dimmer switches must be rated for the bulb type (LED, CFL, incandescent) being controlled
  • Electrical boxes must be sized for the number of wires and devices they will contain
  • Labeling and organizing wiring during installation reduces troubleshooting time later

FAQ

Common questions before buying

How do I know which wire gauge to use for my project?

Wire gauge is determined by the amperage the circuit will carry. Common residential and light commercial circuits use 14 AWG for 15-amp circuits and 12 AWG for 20-amp circuits. Always match wire gauge to the breaker rating and consult local electrical codes for your specific application.

What is the difference between a UPS and a power strip with surge protection?

A surge protector diverts voltage spikes but provides no power during an outage. A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) includes a battery that keeps connected equipment running temporarily when power is lost, giving you time to save work or safely shut down systems.

Do I need GFCI outlets in all locations?

Most electrical codes require GFCI protection in areas near water, including bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outdoor locations, and unfinished basements. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, so always verify with local code before installation.

What should I consider when choosing commercial lighting fixtures?

Key factors include the required lumen output for the space, fixture mounting type (surface, pendant, recessed), bulb or lamp compatibility, color temperature for the work environment, and whether dimming or occupancy controls are needed. Energy efficiency ratings also affect long-term operating costs.
