Light bulb moment

Nick Dyachenko is the general manager of Trustel Electrical Solutions. He discusses a project where a brand-new parking garage heating ramp had to be replaced as a result of damage to the heating cables during the concrete pour. At the time there was no way to let the concrete contractors to know if the cables became damaged or not. To avoid a repeat experience, Nick vowed to create a real-time indicator system to let the concrete crews know if the cables became damaged during concreting. Nick created a simple, yet elegant solution that relies on something everyone can understand: light bulbs.
