LEDtronics Latest-generation LED High Bay Light Fixtures Boast Higher Lumens
LEDtronics®
announces our latest series
of dimmable high-efficiency
LED High Bay Fixtures
These DLC-listed low-
profile units output more
lumens than our previous
generation, while being
more energy-efficient.
Reflector
attachments are available
for these units: The
polycarbonate reflector
comes in 60 and 70
degree options, while the
aluminum reflector comes
in 60 and 90 degree options.
An attachable mounting
bracket is also available as are designed to be extra

A New Way to Support Conduits on Roofs: Orbit’s Roof Coupling Plates
Powering electrical
equipment on a rooftop
frequently requires a messy
network of raceways. For
example, control panels for
HVAC and electrical units
often have to be installed
on walls far from the parent
units. This results in a
whole system of conduits
that need to be secured

Milwaukee Introduces Compact Solution to their Knockout Lineup
Milwaukee®
Knockouts were designed
to make every step in
the hole making process
both faster and easier.
The New M18™ FORCE
LOGIC™ 6T Knockout
delivers unpreceded access
and maneuverability for
electricians. The M18™
FORCE LOGIC™ 6T
Knockout Tool, combined
with Milwaukee’s EXACT™
lineup of punches and dies,
will redefine productivity
for the user by reducing
the tedious steps of hole-
making and improving the
speed of the process.
“When we
introduced our Milwaukee®
Knockout System in
2014 we brought a fresh
perspective to hole-making,
essentially redefining
the entire process to
promote better ease of
use and productivity. The

High Bay series ranges from
13,000 lm all the way up to
26,000 lm. They are offered
in Natural White (4000K)
and Pure White (5000K)
color temperatures.
Different wattages, color

These issues and
more are solved with Orbit’s
new Roof Coupling Plates!
Consisting of a base plate

10-Ton tool gave a wide-
range of commercial and
industrial users the speed,

they needed. But because
that range was so wide,
it became increasingly
important to provide
an optimized compact
solution for the breadth of
applications that service
and MRO professionals
deal with which require
maneuverability,” said
Corey Dickert, Director
of Product Marketing for
Milwaukee Tool. “The
addition of the 6-Ton
solution, which is 40%
lighter than our 10-Ton
offering, will provide these
users with a reliable tool
that they can easily navigate
within these tight spaces
and deliver the capacity to
punch up to 4” holes in 14

These DLC-listed
LED high bays have
an excellent return on
investment. They offer
energy savings of 70
percent over HID, and have
a Lumen Maintenance of

Using the Roof
Coupling Plates, installers
save a significant amount of
material and labor cost by
the roof line. Installers no
longer have to lift heavy
loads of conduit up onto
roofs or perform NEC
derating calculations again!
Finally, the RCP
plates can even be used
in place of firestop putty.

Traditionally, the
most challenging step in
the hole making process
is setting up the punches
and dies on the material
as alignment lines on
competitive units are very
hard to see and the weight
of the tool that is attached
to them works against the
user as they try to align.
Featuring the
clearest alignment in
mild and stainless steel,
Milwaukee’s EXACT™
punches and dies feature
vivid red cross hairs
and a clear view of the
work surface to make
alignment fast and easy.
Once aligned, the Quick
Connect Alignment System
delivers easy set-up without

and speeds up repetitive
punching. Once set up,
