Residential Electric LED Lighting Service
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Lighting is a durable, efficient, and eco-friendly alternative to High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting.
What are the benefits of LED Lighting?
- Cost Efficient: LED Lighting saves up to 75% more energy and money than HID lighting.
- Durable and Eco-Friendly: LED Lighting is low maintenance and has a lifetime of up to 50,000 hours, saving you energy and reducing the amount of bulbs you go through over time.
- Full Illumination: LED lighting has a natural white light that fully illuminates your spaces and provides clear, crisp visibility.
- Silent Performance: LED performs without the “noise pollution” caused by other lighting options.
- Health and safety: LED lighting does not contain Mercury or UV emissions which are harmful to skin and can lead to serious health issues.
How do I know if I have knob-and-tube wiring?
Knob-and-tube wiring has two wires insulated with rubber and has ceramic knob support and tube protection. If your home has any exposed wiring that you can view without touching, check if it matches this description.
If you see knob-and-tube wiring in your home, have a home built before 1950, or are unsure if you might have this type of wiring in your home, call Brilliant Electric Redwood City to inspect and rewire your home!
Why should I replace my knob-and-tube wiring?
If you are looking to get your home insured, most insurance companies will require you remove and replace knob-and-tube wiring because it is deemed extremely hazardous.
In addition to insurance issues, knob-and-tube wiring poses the threat of short circuits, overheating, and fatal accidents like shock and fires.
Why is knob-and-tube wiring deemed dangerous?
Ground Wire: Modern systems contain a ground wire that protects from serious electrical error, however knob-and-tube wiring lacks the security of a ground wire.
Insulation: The rubber insulation in knob and tube wiring breaks down and becomes brittle over time, exposing your home to bare wiring
Outdated: Knob-and-tube wiring, meant to withstand only 15 amps of electrical current, is often carrying much more than it can handle due to the demands of modern technology. Additionally, these systems use two-prong vessels that restrict use of some technology and appliances.
