Kitchen Renovation

In this kitchen renovation we used recessed LED lighting laid out to ensure even light levels.
The recessed lights are switched from two locations and controlled by a dimming switch.

The under-cabinet lighting is colour matched to the recessed lights to add consistency in the overall appearance of the room.

This is one of my favourite kitchens because of it’s classic function and form. The modern look is backed up by the prep,cook, serve and clean-up in a “round the clock” use of counter space.

LED Lighting Upgrade

We were approached by Hertz Equipment Rental to increase the light levels in the parking lot, refueling station and equipment yard. The goal was to ensure employees are working at safe light level as determined by WorkSafe BC.

The following is WorkSafe BC’s Illumination Guideline G4.65 (1) (a) & (b) which states;

(a) 22 lux (2 fc) in areas of low activity, such as parking lots, building exteriors, outside areas and basement areas housing machinery, but which are not regular task areas;
(b) 54 lux (5 fc) in areas of high activity, such as frequently used walkways and building access and egress points.

For clarification; Lux = unit of illuminance, equal to one lumen per square meter.

Exterior LED Lighting Upgrade

The existing light pole was topped with a quad mount system and the lights were conventional 400 watt metal-halide exterior fixtures. We removed the fixtures to determine the current condition of the electrical components, the light fixture housing, lens, seals and hardware. Electrically two were not working and the other fixture’s lumen output was low indicating the end of their life. Other than some minor weathering the housing, lens, seals and hardware were in good condition making them a perfect candidate for a LED retro-fit upgrade.
In the above picture you can see areas requiring different amounts of light. The fueling stations on the left is considered high activity and requires 54 lux. The equipment yard and parking lot in the background were consider low activity and requires 54 Lux. Lighting manufactures provide lumen output specifications and guidelines for the application you require.
The retro-fit LED upgrade is quite straight forward. The picture above is a 120 Volt – 115 Watt LED replacement bulb. It is designed to fit in the existing light housing and has several benefits over HID, florescent and incandescent lighting. A quick comparison shows a significant reduction in energy costs between a conventional metal halide light and a LED light fixture.

In addition to cost saving other benefits are;

50,000 hour lifetime = less maintenance
Front facing light output = higher lumen concentration

Next we removed the existing electrical components and cleaned the light fixture. During the LED upgrade we wired in a photocell for automated dusk to dawn operation to enhance security. A manual override switch was installed for employees arriving before dawn or working late. We proceeded to the final step of mounting, testing and energizing the light fixtures. Light levels at the fueling station, parking lot and equipment yard all exceeded WorkSafe BC’s requirements.

Job well done.

Custom EV Charging Solution

Every home is different, which is why Quantum Power designs each EV charger installation to meet the customer’s specific needs. For this project, the homeowner also wanted a convenient location to charge an e-bike. We installed a dedicated 120-volt, 20-amp GFCI receptacle beside the EV charger, creating a versatile outdoor charging station for multiple electric vehicles.

Power was supplied from the home’s main electrical panel through a new 50-amp feeder to a four-circuit sub-panel. From there, we installed a dedicated 30-amp circuit for the Leviton EV320 charger and a separate 20-amp circuit for the e-bike charging receptacle

Built for Safety and Reliability

Safety is always our highest priority. All panels, wiring, conduit, fittings, and connectors used in this installation are rated for outdoor wet locations and are fully weatherproof to withstand the Okanagan climate.

Canadian Electrical Code requires outdoor electrical equipment to be protected by ground-fault protection. The Leviton EV320 includes built-in ground-fault protection, while the e-bike receptacle is protected by a GFCI receptacle, providing safe and reliable operation for years to come.

Once the installation was complete, our technicians thoroughly tested and commissioned the system to ensure it operated exactly as designed.

Christmas Lights

Alan arrived at the agreed upon time. There were snags that he handled. For example, the new string of lights was in the wrong box from the store. So Alan went to Home Depot to exchange it. Then the string of lights did not work – another trip to Home Depot. He did not charge extra for this. I would highly recommend Alan and Quantum Power.
