YOLO …said nobody ever about their home's backup power.

Our new Gen Z sales trainee told us our social media content is "mid," but we kindly informed him we've got this under control. Regardless, whether you're Gen X or Gen Y, Capital's inventory of Generac helps your customers be prepared for anything.

Having generators stocked in our CDC means we'll be bussin' these straight to your business or jobsite next day. There's really no cap to the benefits it offers your customers. It's giving …energy... to homeowners during power outages.

One fixture. Three distributions. Zero lens swaps.

If you've ever spec'd the wrong beam angle and made a second trip up the pole, the LEDVANCE Global Opti-Select area light fixes that. Adjust the distribution with a switch right on the fixture, no lens kits to stock, no swaps in the field.

▶️ T3, T4, or T5 distribution, changed in seconds
▶️ Selectable wattage (180/240/300W) and CCT (3000/4000/5000K)
▶️ Up to 45,000 lumens, 0-10V dimming
▶️ One SKU covers the jobs you used to stock four for

Spec it once, install it anywhere.

Misalignment is the quiet killer of rotating equipment.

Bearings wear faster. Seals leak sooner. Energy bills creep up. And the failure shows up months later, far from where it started.

The Fluke Corporation 832 Laser Shaft Alignment Tool brings precision alignment within reach of every technician on your team, not just the specialist:

→ Guided, step-by-step workflows. Enter dimensions, take measurements, see actionable results.
→ 8-point active clock measurement to reduce shaft play and backlash errors
→ Live Move corrections in real time
→ 8-inch Gorilla Glass display, 11-hour battery, IP65 rated, 1.2 m drop tested
→ Cloud sync to ARC 4.0 software so the field and the reliability team see the same data

Talk to your Capital Electric rep about how the 832 fits in the toolkit.

Veterans of Foreign Wars VFW Posts are more than buildings. They’re places where veterans come together to share stories, find camaraderie, and build a community.

Through our parent company Sonepar USA’s Bright Lights Brighter Futures program, we’re helping make those spaces brighter, more comfortable, and more welcoming.

Capital Electric is awarding a free lighting upgrade to a local VFW post, including materials, installation, and recycling with help from our partners Acuity Inc., Cooper Lighting Solutions, and PSG Energy Services.

The label calls for higher-rated PPE than what's on the truck. The right call costs you an hour. The wrong one costs more than that.

ESFI's 2026 Electrical Safety Month is built around a simple idea: being a qualified worker means being willing to stop the job. Not for the easy reasons. For the ones that cost time, or a tough conversation with the customer.

Reading the label and acting on it is the job. 🦺
