Professional electricians aren’t the type of people who find their job getting stagnant. There are always new challenges, industry trends, and changing regulations to keep track of. So how can they stay up to date? One useful way is to take advantage of some of the best blogs out there.

However, it can sometimes seem like there are too many blogs to keep track of in the industry. How can someone know which ones are trustworthy?

This is where LED Lighting Supply steps in to help. We have put together a list of our top 7 blogs for electrical contractors that we consider reputable, including some meant for new professionals breaking into the industry, or established electricians looking to work on their skills.

Electrical Wiring

1. Electrical Easy

Electrical Easy bills itself as an educational website with the goal of explaining the basics of electrical theory alongside useful diagrams. This blog is especially useful for electrical engineering students and electrical apprentices, or anyone looking to brush up on the basics.

 

3. Electrician Talk Articles

While Electrician Talk is also a forum, they offer some high-quality content in their articles section which seems to be very useful for electrical contractors to help run their business and learn more about the industry.

Electrical News is a major industry publication that has been around for 30+ years. Their site provides in-depth coverage of industry happenings, which is especially useful for anyone running their own electrical business.

4. Mister Sparky

We love the blog over on Mister Sparky due to its wide range of posts, which are added frequently. Although the topics that they cover are very surface level, they will give you a ton of useful ideas and content to better help answer other people’s questions.
