RAB H17 UFO LED High Bay

William Attardi on July 22, 2026

The newest generation of the H17 is smaller and lighter than its already-compact original. The smallest body is less than a foot in diameter, and the entire family delivers incredibly high output, replacing up to 1000W MH while boasting even higher efficacy than before…all at a rock-bottom price. The H17 includes an expansion port that makes it easy to screw on standard or Lightcloud Blue-enabled passive infrared (PIR) and microwave (MVS) sensors, which can be configured to adjust brightness and hold time, saving additional energy and costs. A remote is also available for an additional level of control. H17B – RAB Lighting  Spec sheet: H17B

The Creator of Baby Ruth Actually Sued Babe Ruth –The Baby Ruth candy bar was created by the Curtiss Candy Company in 1920 — the same year that baseball legend Babe Ruth hit a then-record 54 home runs. But the Great Bambino was irked that the company was selling a candy bar with such a similar name to his own without offering him any royalties. Rather than take the Curtiss Candy Company to court, the Sultan of Swat decided to make his own candy bar, and in 1926 he debuted Ruth’s Home Run bar. The Curtiss Candy Company responded by turning the tables and taking Ruth to court. They accused the slugger of trying to steal their trademark and capitalize on the success of their brand. In a 1931 deposition, Curtiss founder Otto Schnering insisted the candy was named after “Baby Ruth” Cleveland — the daughter of President Grover Cleveland.  He also attested that the company came up with the name in 1919 before the baseball player had become a household name and that the name was merely coincidental. While the validity of those claims is disputed to this day, the court nonetheless ruled in favor of the candy company, forcing Ruth to end his foray into the world of candy.
