While sitting here at my computer my lights started to flicker and I thought this would be a good topic for my current blog. What does flickering lights mean to the layman? Well let's say "BAD NEWS" if your not protected.

Flickering lights means your having a "BROWN OUT" which can mean your either on your way to a full power failure, or your on you way to some possible expensive repair and or replacement of your expensive equipment such as your telephone system, computers, and a host of other electricity dependant items. Their are so many products that purport to be surge protectors or surge suppressors, but the truth is you really need a good quality full "UPS SYSTEM" = uninterruptable power supply. A UPS is powering your equipment on DC power at all times, and the batteries are being trickled charged all the time. This way when the power is interrupted or goes out completely you have the time to properly power down your network or PC, as well as to finish a phone call, and have a period of time to still have some working service for emergency.

A very important part of all of this is how much of a UPS do you need. If your just powering a single computer than some of the smaller over the counter type of products like the APC line sold a most every office supply store can be the right choice, however if you have a business that has multiple computers as well as your phone system you really need a professional such as NEWCOM NETWORKS to do a analysis as to how much battery back up your company will need to survive for a period of time that is acceptable to you the customer.
