Casablanca Ceiling Fans Beat the Humidity

Have you ever been wandering around on a hot day, sweating your socks off, wishing that the temperature would just drop by about twenty degrees? Have you ever then heard someone say, “It's not the heat, it's the humidity”? Did you ever wonder what that means, exactly?

Humidity refers to the amount of moisture in the air. The more humid it is, the more sticky, sweaty, and all around disgusting you feel. Those are the days that you feel like you need to shower constantly. Humidity actually makes the air more dense which gives it the sensation of being heavy, which also can make it harder to breathe. As the humidity sits in the air, you become more miserable.

How can you counteract this problem? Air flow. Having your windows open can be a great way to promote airflow through your home. If you can get a nice cross breeze going, you can keep that damp and dense air moving, which should help keep you cool.

But sometimes the air is so dense or the atmospheric conditions are such that there isn't even a breeze. It's times like these where you really wish you had a Casablanca ceiling fan available to keep your air circulating. Not only will these ceiling fans keep you cool, but they are beautiful fixtures that can help add to the décor of your home.

So don't wait until the middle of August to get cool, get your fan going now! The dog days of summer aren't even here yet. Let LightingConcepts.com help you find a solution to the heat. Oops, we mean humidity.

Outdoor Lighting for Nighttime Sports

At LightingConcepts.com, we know that the summer is an important time of year for athletes. The weather is finally good enough to get outside and enjoy a fun game of your favorite sport. As friends gather together, a backyard game of football, baseball, volleyball, or other fun sport can last well into the evening. There are several reasons for this:

1) It is lighter longer, so you can remain outdoors longer.
2) If it is a 90 degree day, it is cooler to play outside as the sun starts to go down.
3) It may take a while to get people and a game organized once people are done with work or school for the day.

But one of the most frustrating things that can happen if is your game is called on account of darkness. An intense or entertaining game can become unfair or even dangerous if not properly illuminated.
