One of the most unique light paintings I’ve seen, this image has a fluidity that causes the brain to confuse light for matter. It is neato. What makes it neato? Well, I think it’s mostly neato because the way the lines are painted makes the light seem like it has taken form and is alive.

3. Sphere of the Open Water

I do not understand how some light painters are able to create such perfect perforated light beams. But I like it. Light painting is able to create such perplexing images. How is one to feel about the image of a lonely self-circling disc of multi colored light? It’s a little sad. But also a lot of fun. That’s weird. And maybe that’s the particular weirdness of light paintings.

5. Or, Then Again, Maybe This Is the Particular Weirdness of Light Paintings

At least, that’s what my two-year-old would call this photo. What a great idea to take a long exposure of a car and to keep it underexposed, knowing that the brightness of the light “paintbrush” would balance out the composition. I chose this example because it emblematizes the way light painting adds imagination to reality.

7. The Whole Light Paint Bucket

First of all, if you don’t get the title’s reference, then don’t worry about it. It’s a video game thing. Second of all, if you have any kind of interest in photography but spend a lot of time working indoors, you’ve probably tried taking pictures of inanimate things around your office. (OK, so I’m talking about myself.) Chances are, you haven’t had much luck. The pics were probably more fun to take than to examine, and they have probably been long since lost in the black matter of erased data. In other words, the photos weren’t good. But this one happens to be really awesome. It’s fun and very cool looking. Hadukin! Hadukin to bad office still lifes! Hadukin to darkness! Ha. Du. Kin.

If you are the owner of a commercial building that hosts floors filled with business offices, you know you have a responsibility to ensure the building is electrically safe and in good working condition. While some corporations choose to have an in-house maintenance team, most realize that electrical work is a specialty and the typical maintenance person is not going to have an electrical license, which is why you need a trained and certified electrician in Los Angeles. You will find a great team ready to help you take care of your commercial properties at The Electric Connection.

When you are responsible for keeping tenants happy, it can be a big job.

When you are the landlord or owner of the building, you have a responsibility to solve problems quickly. You can’t afford to be put on a list that may take weeks before someone can come out.

If you have been informed of a much bigger problem, like no power to an entire office or section of the building, you will definitely need the services of a trained commercial electrician. Los Angeles property owners will need to hire a team that can maintain a professional demeanor and represent the company hiring the work as well as the businesses operating in the space. You don’t want to hire a company that isn’t professional and doesn’t have the appearance of a crew that respects business operations and personal property. Don’t hire just any electrician or person who claims to be an electrician without checking credentials. You can always count on the team at The Electric Connection to provide excellent, timely and professional service for your commercial properties.

Sometimes the smallest residential electrical issue can be a  big headache. When outlets trip, for example, there are generally several electrical devices or appliances being used in one electrical zone. Then POP! No more power.

GFCIs May Be to Blame

Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are outlets that trip themselves when they detect certain problems. They are designed to prevent electrical shock and other potential dangerous accidents, which is why they are required in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outdoor areas, and unfinished areas .

Many homes have GFCIs in the required areas but not all over the house. So it’s common that electrical circuits will start at the GFCI and flow “downstream” to other outlets that are required to be GFCI’s. While this provides a level of protection for the entire circuit, a GFCI trip in the bathroom, for example, may take down an outlet in  another bathroom.  You would need  to identify the GFCI outlet where the trip happened and reset it. .  This can be a frustrating and time consuming process.
