The new noncontact high-voltage detector model 280HVD is designed to detect the presence of high voltage, a range of 80V to 275kV, without physical contact. A ten-position rotary switch selects the detection range. As the lightweight sensor is moved closer to the voltage-carrying conductor, its sensor head picks up the radiated electric field. Once the range threshold is reached, audible and visual indicators warn the operator of live conductors. A universal spline on the back-end facilitates attachment to any standard hot stick. AEMC

The Driller's Dust Bowl eliminates the mess that comes from drilling large diameter holes in ceilings when installing recessed light fixtures. The tool accessory is easily fitted between a drill's chuck and the cutting tool. It forms a seal at the ceiling much like a toilet plunger and encapsulates all the debris. Although created ceiling installations, it works well with a wide variety of drill bits and other cutting tools. For ceilings, all debris is contained in the bowl; for floors and walls, the debris is stopped from spreading. Driller's Dust Bowl Inc.

This recessed framing and gobo projector fits into a standard 4-inch housing. The NL-471W projector optics are positioned into a streamlined scoop that protrudes no more than 1-3/8 inches below the ceiling, while a faceplate completely conceals the inside of projector and housing. It's the only projector in its class that uses genuine optical-grade ground elements rather than standard glass. And, the position of the light source itself is precision set so the exact focal point of the lamp intersects first lens so almost no light output is lost or captured within the lens. Nora Lighting
