January 2005 Products of the Week

Jan. 3, 2005
EC&M's editors' picks for products of the week

Mini cable lockout






















Weighing less than heavy metal chains, the Mini Cable Lockout has a 4-in. body diameter and fits in the palm of your hand. The lockout works much like a tape measure and uses 8 ft of flexible cable to secure electrical and mechanical control points. A single device can be used to lock out multiple energy sources, and it includes six holes for padlocks. The lockout is constructed of nylon and resists impacts, chemicals, and corrosion, and the cable is available in high-strength, vinyl-coated steel or nonconductive nylon.

Safety light






























This concealed, power-failure safety lighting device is designed for residential homes where power-failure lighting isn’t mandated. Providing illumination for as many as four nights before battery replacement, the safety light can be used to eliminate the total darkness of nighttime power failures or as an energy-saving nightlight when the power is normal. It can be installed in light switches and power outlets, and fits in standard single- or multi-gang workboxes.
