First Portable Utility Light System Released


LightModule, a pioneer in the development and application of LED technology to the fire, law enforcement, and emergency response sectors, announced today the launch of their LMPro line of rechargeable Portable Utility Light Systems (PULS). With Flare, Area Light and Flashlight functionality-in-one, LM Pro provides an unparalleled value in utility, safety, emergency warning, signaling and brightness. Providing exemplary performance in all modes, LMPro includes the only LED flare ever made with superior brightness to chemical flares.
Developed with the needs of firefighters, law enforcement and emergency responders in mind, LMPro utilizes a system of interchangeable electronic heads to transform from a road flare to area light, flashlight or combo unit in a matter of seconds. The system provides life-saving brightness in a rugged, rechargeable, ultra-portable form. "As a flare, area light or flashlight, each function mode is far superior to any individual competing product; combined, the LMPro was designed to anticipate any possible illumination or signaling need that could occur in emergency situations," said Raul Urrutia, CEO of LightModule.
Recently awarded Law Officer Magazine's Outstanding New Product for 2012,Ask the Wood Laptop Desk suppliers for details of the foam inserts that are going in your flight cases, aluminium cases, industrial cases or military cases, before you place your order. A top brand of case inserts like Plastazote should reassure you – again, brands such as Plastazote will only allow their products to be used by the best case manufacturers, because they are only as good as the firms that supply their products. at 3-5x brighter than any competing LED flare, and providing up to 16 hours of on-time per charge, LM Pro is the first portable lighting system versatile enough to trust in situations where lives are at risk. LMPro's heads are intelligent and can be programmed by Lightmodule to display any color or light pattern, making the utility nearly limitless."LMPro is a highly adaptive portable light system. Firefighters, police officers, and emergency responders all have different portable illumination needs. With that in mind, we have created several different LMPro kits that cater to the specific requirements of each sector,Obviously you will need to look after them as any other pair ,but in the unfortunate event of braking them ,it won't hurt the bank balance to buy another pair, and all Handmade glasses have to conform to basic regulations regardless of how cheap or expensive they are.so you can choose a lovely pair of sunglasses from the comfort of your home or at work." said EVP,On average, people dispense 38 billion dollars everyday for lighting, creating a substantial 30 percent of Solar lamp salary. A study in Africa was done and the results were breathtaking - off-the-grid homes that substituted their kerosene lamps and candles with solar lighting conserved an average of $0.80 daily. Shay Ahmed.
The Wireless M Lamp made its online debut on Kickstarter on Thursday, September 13. Designed by David Irwin for Brooklyn-based manufacturer Juniper, the M Lamp is featured for 35 days on the popular crowd funding website with the goal of raising $60,000 to fund final production costs. The Kickstarter launch coincided with the lamp's physical debut at 100% Design London, September 19-23. The M Lamp was developed in collaboration with Geochord from Chicago and electrical engineer, Mike Garner.About David Irwin David Irwin is an award-winning industrial designer based in Newcastle upon Tyne, working within the spectrums of furniture, interior product and lighting. The goal with all his work is to combine a strong concept with a fundamental usefulness.

Proposed street-lighting fee languishes in committee


The chances of City Council assessing residents a street-lighting fee at the request of Mayor Kathy Catazaro-Perry appear dim.First Ward Councilwoman Sarita Cunningham-Hedderly, chairwoman of the public utilities committee, said the proposal hasn't yet garnered any support from her or committee members Milan Chovan Jr. and Donnie Peters.Legislation typically is assigned to a three-member committee and is placed in front of council for full consideration when a majority of its members sign it."I couldn't even get anyone on my committee to sign it," she said Thursday, when asked about the status of the legislation.Many electronic devices run because of portable batteries. These 2200mah battery pack are the power source of various electronic devices such as digital cameras, remote controls, and even toy cars. The problem is that these batteries are not cheap, and as there are a growing number of devices using them, they can become very expensive! "So, I guess it died in committee."
But Peters said the legislation deserves a full vote. He is trying to arrange a time for Ray Martinez of Ohio Edison to address council on how other cities have addressed lighting costs."We're probably going to have to do it,If that's the case, Solar garden light may realize that some are now carrying more and more when it comes to solar lights. This is the way they are kind of joining this instead of attempting to keep on fighting it. Solar lights for garden might be just a little tougher to find at a regular store because of the fact that they're more of a unique object." he said. "It deserves a shot to get voted on."Under a proposal presented in July, city residents would pay $22.28 each year for street lighting. Each property would be assessed the fee, which would show up as an additional $5.57 charge on the quarterly sewer and trash bill.The city is trying to defray $335,000 in street-lighting costs. The assessment would generate $328,300 from more than 14,730 parcels in the city.Catazaro-Perry said Thursday she hopes council keeps an open mind about the fee. She said the latest projection from Auditor Jayne Ferrero is that the general fund will be $2.1 million short at the end of the year.
"I'm going to keep bringing them (council) things," she said. "The auditor says we'll be $2.1 million short by the end of the year. I'm giving them solutions to decrease that and they are choosing not to do it. I can only bring things to council and let them vote on it."Furthermore, she said some of the city's lighting infrastructure needs updated, so the fee would not only help the city with short-term cash-flow problems, but to save for future lighting upgrades.Several residents have told Catazaro-Perry to shut off street lights. However, she believes that to be the more costly route. It costs $50 to shut off a light and $50 to turn one on again.Fashion trends change every year ,so with that in mind to be able to afford a designer pair or two maybe unrealistic.Some of the Safety goggles we see today for sale doesn't mean to say that they won't protect our eyes properly ,or they will only last a few hours and then brake.Cheap sunglasses can be found in most major department stores or online to buy on the internet, some websites even now offer free postage and packing. There is a $200 fee to remove the light, which is required after two years."We wouldn't save much if we do that," Catazaro-Perry said. " And we need to keep our streets safe." Cunningham-Hedderly said the small fee hikes amount to a "nickel and diming" of city residents — a phrase others have used in reference to revenue enhancements."We're nickel and diming everybody and it's just not fair," Cunningham-Hedderly said about the street lighting assessment and other revenue-generating proposals that have been presented to council. "It was just another idea for revenue, but it's just not going to fly."

Woman Gathers Her Two Sisters and a Cousin to Sew Dresses for African Girls


What started as a one-woman operation for Del Freeman, 75, quickly became a project with her two sisters and cousin to send the simple cotton dresses to Burundi.Freeman got the idea from an Orlando newspaper article."This group in Winter Garden was going to make 100 dresses, and I thought I could do that," Freeman said.Once she started, it was easy rouse help from her sisters and cousin — Robbie Dunson, 76, Mary Dunson, 70, and Betty Thornhill, 78."It's something worthwhile because somebody else can enjoy getting a new dress," Freeman said.And, unless she took action, the girls would not be getting the new dresses.
Thornhill, Freeman's cousin, said she was happy to help."I don't know, I think it's from watching the news and TV and seeing so many children without food and water, and I think that's what got me into it," Thornhill said.
Freeman learned how to make the "Pillow Case Dress" on the website littledressesforafrica.org, although she used fabric, not pillowcases.The design is simple: sew elastic on the top to gather the fabric,Innovations in technology have definitely allowed this generation to enjoy the conveniences of life.

These were made by a group of women from Hillside Church of Christ.Knowing so many girls will now have dresses who otherwise wouldn't is inspiring the Winter Haven sisters and cousin to start a second batch after the holidays.
Milton said he wanted to try something different and have some fun, and luckily was able to poach a dress from his wife's closet."It fits me pretty good, too," he said as he and other hounds drank a beer before the race started. "She told me not to wear it out though — to wait until the race to put it on."Other runners didn't have the luxury of a discreetly acquired dress."It was important to find the right size and support," said Tony Garcia of Worcester, who had to go to three different stores before finding his dress — a low-cut number that elicited many head turns and car honks."I'm running, so I had to go with something a little more open and airy," he said unapologetically.Del Re, too, had to shop for his dress, although he took his wife along "for protection.""I definitely see what women go through," he said, in terms of being forced to put oneself on display.Another aspect of making the kid wear superhero costumes is that they can be taught a lot about moral values and ethical conduct. In other words, the children can imbibe a lot from the characters of their favourite comic books and cartoon serials. Getting into the character becomes easy if you have sexy costumes of a super hero to complete and compliment your persona.

Solar Power Generation from the Windows


There is a list of reasons why windows are awesome things to have in any room, and Sharp just added to that list: the company has announced the release of see-through solar cell modules designed to act as architectural glass.Starting October 1st, customers in Japan will be able to buy power-generating windows from Sharp. The idea is to combine solar power generation (always a great thing to have) with lots of natural light (another great thing to have). The new solar cell module does it,The growth of China Aluminum Tube&Pipe Wholesalers proves the value of aluminum extrusions and solidifies its place as a leading product of choice amongst a whole host of industries, and with suppliers like Orange Aluminum the growth is proudly being met with extruded aluminum products proudly made in the United States of America. and does it fairly well.Where a standard roof-top installation requires a metal frame and rows of bright blue panels, the new Sharp system consists of what looks like simple smoky dark glass. Sharp suggests that it can be used as standard window glass, balcony railings, on the roof, or anywhere else one would like to see black glass decorating a building.
With the need for a metal framework eliminated, the see-through system can be installed as a laminated glass structure.China Metal Machining Suppliers Each panel contains rows of solar cells, carefully arranged so that a moderate amount of natural light still shines through to the other side. It even acts as a heat shield,This gadget has become a must have gadget for younger generation. iPhone is not only a means of communication but it also connects Silicone Keyboard Cover manufacturers with our friends through social network, allow us to listen to music and provides thousands of utility mobile phone application ,which helps us to do various tasks. further reducing energy costs.Sharp claims that the system can be totally integrated with either residential or industrial buildings (and they can be pre-ordered now), but the company doesn’t seem to be offering the product outside Japan. If you want to try your luck: the product number is NA-B095AA and the product name is See-Through Solar Cell Module (shiisuruu taiyoudenchi mojuuru). Sharp also has yet to announce pricing for the new units (the bit where it says suggested retail price simply says "open").
"My number one complaint is that our friends at NSTAR have had the request from ACE for an interconnection agreement since last November, and they waited and hemmed and hawed until February to finally tell us, oh no, we have to do a study," Mr. Straw said. "And then they said the study would take at least four and a half months or something like that. So come the end of September, I think the time is up. And then, if they at that point agree, there is something like a six-month time period where ACE will be doing procurement before they really actually start work on the landfill site."Mr. Straw questioned the need for an impact study at the same site where NSTAR hooks up five leased portable generators to the power grid during the summer to provide extra electricity. He said since the generators produce 5 megawatts compared to the 1 megawatt the solar array would produce, he did not understand why there would be any issue.

Nexxus Lighting And Philips Settle Patent Litigation


Nexxus Lighting, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEXS), a market leading manufacturer of LED light bulbs and lighting systems, today announced a settlement agreement ending the pending patent litigation brought by Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE:PHG, AEX: PHI), a world leader in LED lighting technology.Philips will grant Nexxus Lighting an ongoing, royalty-bearing license to the comprehensive portfolio of patented LED technologies and solutions offered under Philips' LED luminaire and retrofit bulb licensing program. The license allows Nexxus to continue the manufacture and sale of LED-based lighting products, including the Array brand of LED replacement light bulbs.Secured by the rubber disk, it can quickly be placed in the grass without any danger or impediment of light. Additionally, the Solar light can quickly be hung over a desk to illuminate gracious foods. The person solar charger can easily be linked to public charging posts be used the following evening.
"The opportunity for creating, developing and selling creative new LED lighting systems is expanding rapidly and we believe that combining access to the Philips portfolio of intellectual property with our own patented technology will give Nexxus Lighting a tremendous platform from which to penetrate the growing lighting market," stated Mike Bauer, President and CEO of Nexxus Lighting. "We are pleased we could come to mutually agreeable terms and can now refocus our business on the large growth opportunities we see for LED lighting." Although LED lights -- short for light emitting diode -- are more expensive than traditional streetlights, Xcel said they have several advantages, including a longer lifespan and lower energy use, reduced maintenance costs, better night visibility, and they include no mercury,China Aluminum Tube&Pipe Suppliers able to offer stocked materials with competitive prices are tending to win larger projects then larger manufacturers. Willingness to work with lead times, and able to ship product next day empowers contractors and manufacturers alike to run leaner with their finances while still reaching target delivery and completion dates. lead or other disposable hazards.
"The pilot project will provide information to inform the development of a LED street lighting rate option, such as maintenance requirements and costs, light output, energy consumption, failure rates, and customer feedback," the PUC application said.The PUC has not yet scheduled the matter for action.China Metal Machining Offers The next step is to start a 30-day comment period.Xcel chose West St. Paul for the test because its lights were due for replacement this year, because 529 lights provide a good scale for study and because the city is well located for easy observation by Xcel officials and officials from other cities considering such lights.The company proposed submitting a status update in September 2013 and a final report within 60 days of concluding the pilot in September 2014. Depending on the results Xcel may ask the commission to approve a new LED street lighting rate.

Falling LED Cost Yields Virtual Device Efficiency Gains


Falling LED prices are yielding an unexpected bonanza for system developers: a "virtual" gain in device efficiency,Where aluminum profiles have traditionally been the Buy Best Custom Aluminum Tube&Pipe choice of millwork shops and architectural design firms for its value and strength to weight ratio, the new green building movement has solidified aluminum sections place in all markets.You can see aluminum sections like aluminum channels, angle, trim and molding all around you. which can be as much as 50 percent, or even more in some cases.LED systems have traditionally run below the LED datasheet efficiencies. In addition to power conversion losses, LED efficiency drops as they are driven harder, and also as they run hotter.Buy Best Custom Metal Machining The former phenomenon, called "droop," follows a cube law (and is currently ascribed to a phenomenon known as indirect Auger recombination). A cutting-edge LED, when driven at its nameplate power rating, might output only 60 percent of its nameplate efficiency rating, which is often specified at reduced drive level. Similarly, other physics effects cause output to fall dramatically with increasing temperature. In a case recently brought to the attention of Greentech Media, a special-application LED lamp that used only passive fin-cooling showed a 30 percent increase in output when customers started pointing fans at the units.
High-power LED models from players such as Cree or Osram have cost as much as $4.00 in recent years. At such prices, the LED cost dominated the bill of materials for a product. Designers were under intense financial pressure to reduce the LED count by driving the devices harder. A part such as a Cree XPG might end up being driven at 1.0 or even 1.5 amps, when it could get rather higher efficiency at, say, 0.35 amps. Similarly, the cost of the LEDs left very little budget for cooling measures. Heatsinks were often undersized, and advanced measures such as heat pipes, nanomaterials, and smart fans were usually out of the question.At Strategies in Light 2012, Philips speaker Dirk Vanderhaeghen, presenting on automotive headlights in the High-Brightness Technology session track, remarked, "The end result of practical realities is that designs have come out at little more than half the theoretical efficiency of the emitters."Now, however, with 3 to 5 watt high-brightness LED prices dropping, in some cases as low as $0.Changing tires in the middle of a dark road would be difficult without these emergency lights. These leather ipad case also come in handy especially when there power interruption in the area during the evening. These portable car batteries are not hard to use, even a beginner wouldn't have a hard time using it.90 (particularly for new, cost-optimized devices such as the Cree XBD), the game is rapidly changing. Designers can convince management to use more emitters, drive them less, and allocate budget for improved cooling. CEO Kevin Wells of Lumigrow Inc., a maker of high-power LED greenhouse fixtures, states, "We can now afford to crank the LED count in a way we never could before."

The Bible orders women to wear this kind of clothing


With the spiraling numbers have come increased visibility and political and economic strength. Three senators and 63 congressional representatives belong to evangelical churches, and a candidate with links to the Universal Church has a considerable lead in polls ahead of next month's mayoral race in Sao Paulo, South America's biggest city. The Universal Church also owns one of Brazil's main television networks, TV Record.Remote control light will find whole homes this point in time which are furnished with a solar lighting method. Someone's entire home is literally heated by the solar energy that is stored during the day. There are however other parts that are illuminated by solar lights and they can add a pleasant accent to your house.Still, Brazil's evangelicals are far from a unified block. Today hosts of homegrown Pentecostal denominations have their own dress codes,Sunglasses are basically worn to provide protection to the eyes from the harmful ultra violet rays. The Military goggles get the same protection and benefits like that of branded and designer sunglasses. If there are cheaper sunglasses to provide you the desired protection then why waste money on expensive designer and branded ones. which range from draconian to permissive. Evangelical men are also expected to dress modestly, in long-sleeved shirts and slacks that are more readily available in regular stores.
Women in some congregations wear the archetypal Brazilian outfit, tank tops and short shorts, in their daily lives, donning demure skirts and shoulder-covering tops only for services. In others, women are expected to cover up at all times, except at home with their husbands, and don't even remove their form-concealing robes at the beach.Pastor Marcos Pereira of the conservative Assembly of God of the Latter Days said his church's strict dress code had its foundations in scripture. The church forbids women from wearing pants as well as red and black fabrics and encourages the use of robes."The Bible orders women to wear this kind of clothing. It says women's bodies are not meant to be on display for everyone, just for their husbands," Pereira said, adding that adhering to the church's dress code "is a way for women to be in communion with God."
Sao Paulo-based label Joyaly makes clothes aimed at moderate evangelicals, who generally cover shoulders and knees and shun women's pants altogether.Launched in 1990, the label is among the oldest and priciest of the evangelical labels,By reconditioning old batteries yourself you can save hundreds. If you need the batteries for a solar energy system where you will need a large iphone protective case you can literally save thousands.And you can even earn a substantial amount of money by reconditioning dead batteries you get for free, and then reselling them. its garments widely considered the creme de la creme of the sector. Its best-selling below-the-knee denim skirts, the staple piece in most evangelical women's closets, retail for $60 to $75, while the dresses run for about $75 to $100. The label doesn't make anything transparent, nor does it make pants.Commercial director Alison Flores said the brand was born of his mother's constant struggle to find clothes that met the family church's modesty guidelines."Because she has a real entrepreneurial spirit, she decided to regard this problem as a business opportunity," he said. "She started making things for the ladies at church and then through word of mouth, the ladies from other churches and so on. People would come from all over to the really out-of-the-way neighborhood we lived in then."There was so much pent-up demand because until then, practically no one was attending to this public," Flores said.

Rise of evangelicals changes Brazilian fashion


Strolling down the main shopping drag in this working-class Rio de Janeiro suburb, it's not the second-skin dresses in shocking pink spandex that catch the eye or even the strapless tops with strategically placed peekaboo paneling.The newest look can instead be found in stores like Silca Evangelical Fashion, where the hot items are the demure, long-sleeved frocks with how-low-can-you-go hemlines and the polyester putty-colored potato sack dresses.In the birthplace of the "fio dental" or dental floss string bikini, so-called evangelical fashion has emerged as a growing segment of the country's $52 billion-a-year textile industry, catering to the conservative sartorial needs of Brazil's burgeoning numbers of born-again Pentecostals.
Once so difficult to procure that evangelical women tended to make much of their own clothes themselves, the modest garb is now popping up all over Brazil.On the tiny high street of Rio suburb Itaborai, not one but two evangelical clothing stores compete to dress the faithful. M&A Fashion got its start two decades ago as a conventional clothing shop, selling the short, tight styles favored in this tropical country, but shifted to evangelical offerings five years ago. Silca Evangelical Clothing, two doors down, opened in March."It used to be that the word 'evangelical' had a tacky connotation," said M&A manager Marcelo Batista, who converted from Catholicism a decade ago. "But now, we're not afraid to show who we are."Evangelical women now wear this clothing proudly," he said, gesturing at the racks of ample dresses, long A-line denim skirts and ribbed sweaters that in the 100-plus degree heat were enough to make you sweat just by looking at them.
Introduced in the mid-19th century by American missionaries,Who wouldn't want to have their car batteries restored when the need arises? There are a lot of manufacturers that offer excellent quality iphone battery case. The ones with sturdy, solid steel casing are the most reliable. Car battery chargers do not necessarily come in cheap, but the best way to save a lot is to choose good quality ones that will last long. Brazil's neo-Pentecostal churches were long regarded as fringe groups. Aggressive proselytizing, particularly among the poor and disenfranchised, has produced a dramatic spike in the community's numbers in recent decades and eaten away at Brazil's status as the world's largest Catholic country.In 1980, evangelicals represented just over 6 percent of the population, according to the country's IBGE statistics agency. In the 2010 census, more than 42 million people, or 22 percent of the country's 190 million,Not only will it save you money but it is also environmentally friendly. portable battery charger contain chemicals that seep into our soils and end up in our waterways.

Eastern New Orleans shop follows family tradition


Just as surely as the temperatures fall, families descend every autumn on Claudia Robert's uniform shop in eastern New Orleans. For Robert, the annual flurry of clothes shopping brings back memories of the store where she learned her trade: her father's menswear shop, Claude's Clothing Store, once a landmark of the 7th Ward.John Claude Robert was a shipping clerk at Famous-Sternberg, one of the mid-20th-century New Orleans garment makers that specialized in lightweight men's suits such as poplin and seersucker. In the late 1930s he struck out on his own, selling slightly flawed name-brand suits at discount prices from his mother's living room.
Like today's outlet stores, the concept was a hit, and before long, Robert had a shop on Duels Street, next to his mother's Creole cottage with a red-blooming crybaby tree outside. The neighborhood was safe and family-oriented."I can see it in slow motion," said Claudia Robert. "Everybody cooked. Everybody was friendly."She was one of 10 children. The house was small, but "I didn't know the difference. I was happy." In the summer, the family moved to a fishing camp in north shorAsk the professional Apple accessories manufacturers for details of the foam inserts that are going in your flight cases, aluminium cases, industrial cases or military cases, before you place your order.

"Republicans, Democrats, Ku Klux Klan and Black Panthers -— we dressed them all," said Robert, who started helping her father in the store when she was 7. Occasionally, she recognized customers on the evening news as they were being interviewed, or carted off to jail.iPhones have no doubt become many things to many Waterproof cases manufacturers. They offer various features including iTunes Apps, mobile telephone, GPS etc. iPhones are among the top-selling phones throughout the world.

Some were embarrassed by bargain-hunting. Others had business reasons for being discreet."We had the Mafia. They'd come in big limousines," Robert said. Of course, as a schoolgirl, "I didn't know they were Mafia."Claudia Robert opened Claudia's Menswear in 1982 at the Duels Street location.

Funds sought for downtown holiday lights upgrade


The Friends of Downtown of Lafayette/West Lafayette are initiating a major drive to raise funds for a complete revamp of the Tippecanoe County Courthouse holiday lighting scheme.The goal is to raise a total of $30,000 to replace the antiquated incandescent lights with energy-efficient and weather-resistant LED lighting and to change from the current "lampshade" configuration to a more tree-like display by extending the lights to the courthouse roof.Plans are for the work to be completed in time for the annual lighting of the courthouse in conjunction with Dickens of a Christmas on Dec. 1.There are a few features of compact fluorescent bulbs which annoy many people; the flickering, the 'cold', white light and their propensity to blow on a regular basis, far more frequently than we were first told. An LED bulb solves all of these problems with the ability to choose any color temperature you desire, no flickering whatsoever and a 25 year lifespan.If you use a top quality machine, Best Custom Aluminum Profile can automate most of these functions and create an end product that would rank high in terms of customer satisfaction. You might have a variety of choices in your hands but the overall design of the machine can make all the difference.In terms of precision, the angle used in cutting is the most important part of the entire procedure.
In an interview with Fairfax Media in New York, where Bosua is learning about the American market, he said that the idea for the invention was the product of a friend sharing their renovation frustrations with him in the hopes that he would find a way around a particular problem.Think edgy window displays, provocative fashion walkways, or avant-garde offices or restaurants and designers begin to see the possibilities. Each connectable FLEX light panel runs about $500 to $1,Obviously you will need to look after them as any other pair ,but in the unfortunate event of braking them ,it won't hurt the bank balance to buy another pair, and all buy cheap sport sunglasses have to conform to basic regulations regardless of how cheap or expensive they are.so you can choose a lovely pair of sunglasses from the comfort of your home or at work.000 depending on curve and length. Designers can snap together 11 options in any order to create long strips of light that loop, twist or dart.
"Certainly from a design process the lights are really cool. They are kind of jaw dropping," said Morningstar research analyst Adam Fleck who had a chance to see the lights when visiting 3M's Innovation Center in Maplewood recently.3M's AIR fixture also uses optical film technology but offers a halo of light that can be suspended (alone or in multiples) from any ceiling at any angle.After World War II, when Aluminum Beam Exporters were used in the manufacturing of aircraft and other military uses, new uses were quickly found to be applicable for other industries. Aluminum extrusion is even used in the space industry.You can find details of these creditsonline or through your local USGBC office. AIR comes in 3-foot to 9-foot diameters and weighs just 30 to 60 pounds. Costs will typically run $3,500 to $7,000 per light but can stretch to $15,000 for customized color-changing options.Fleck said 3M's foray into the lighting world may not "move the needle" of the entire $30 billion conglomerate that is 3M. But the new line is splashy enough to bulk up 3M's toddler Architectural Markets unit.Durst of the International Interior Design Association said 3M easily has "multimillions of dollars" in sales ahead just because of its new lighting. "I am thinking about the breadth of potential installations. The minute you see it, you can immediately see it in high-end hotel lobbies, in retail shops ... in libraries, college campuses and health care facilities."

Smartphone-controlled light bulb will turn lights off for you, Aussie invention


Imagine a light bulb that you can control with your phone, that switches on when you come home and off when you leave, that slowly dims the lights to an amber glow at night to lull you off to sleep, then brightens your bedroom instead of an alarm clock in the morning. An Australian entrepreneur by the name of Phil Bosua has created such a thing using coloured LEDs.By reconditioning old batteries yourself you can save hundreds. If you need the batteries for a solar energy system where you will need a large cheap Universal Portable Battery you can literally save thousands.And you can even earn a substantial amount of money by reconditioning dead batteries you get for free, and then reselling them. Using the community seed funding website Kickstarter, he has already raised over $1.2 million AUD (nearly $1.3 million USD) to bring his idea into production, in just one week, with over half of that in the last 48 hours!In fact, fundraising has been so successful, with their initial target of $100,000 AUD exceeded by a factor of ten, that LIFX announced on Sept. 20 that they were limiting the number of new 'pledges' that could be made towards supporting the new product development, to ensure that they would be capable of meeting the first delivery deadlines.
His invention, the LIFX light bulb is built to last for 25 years or more and can be controlled by any iPhone or Android smartphone, as well as by the traditional light switch on the wall.Phil Bosua, 38, is a father of two who lives in Ferny Creek in Melbourne, the capital city of Victoria, Australia's southernmost state on the eastern coast of the mainland and considered to be Australia's secondary business capital after Sydney. He likens his invention to the remote control for a television.
Not only can his invention be turned on and off by smartphone through it's connection to your home Wi-Fi network, but the multi-colored, energy efficient LED light-bulb can also be adjusted via the LIFX app for brightness and color. It can imitate a 70's disco with lights that change color in rhythm to your music, and it can be set to match or complement the color scheme in a room. It can be programmed to turn on and off at certain times, to act as a night-light or an alarm clock and it can even react to notifications on a smartphone such as push notifications from email, Twitter and Facebook, by flashing a particular color.On top of the lifestyle benefits that the LIFX can offer, the energy savings of using LED bulbs are enormous and in a time where electricity prices are only going up, and steeply, the LIFX offers a significant benefit over traditional lighting options.A traditional incandescent globe uses 60 watts, a halogen 30% less at 40 watts. A compact fluorescent bulb uses just a quarter of the electricity of an incandescent bulb at 15 watts,Respected Aluminum Beam Wholesalers of aluminum profile systems promise shortened lead times, which is very important to most customers. This is possible because fewer tools are required to produce the final product, the designs are simple, and no welding or painting is required.The solar lights use LED technology for a long lifespan and have been designed to defy shock from accidentally bumping or dropping it.Lighting Africa Offers utilize eco-friendly supplies like ABS and re-cycled substances and nominal ink to limit air pollution and provide a greater outcome.A cushioning band set at the end of the light will protect it in the case of an unusual drop. but the LIFX LED bulb is better still at only 10 watts.

Furthermore, China Portable Wholesalers may take an area and transform it, which makes it appear more sophisticated and elegant. Lighting is also very critical in the world of one's conservation, where product choices can greatly determine utility expenses. with grazing and beehives listed as possible uses on the same site.Though the project's applicants didn't appear at the commission meeting, their application with the county stated: "Pristine Sun is partnering with farmers to demonstrate that harvesting the sun on a small portion of their property is not only compatible with the practices they are already doing, it is a net benefit to them and the community without negative consequences."
Mueller said the property where the panels will be was once an orchard, but is now fallow land.However, a member of a family who farms near the project site told commissioners while he supported the project, he was concerned about being a good neighbor."What assurances do I have that I'll be able to continue normal farming activities?" Everest Tumber asked the commission, referring to prune and walnut orchards his family has operated for decades next to the solar farm. "I don't want to get sued if I'm out there and a little dust gets onto the cells."But Planning Director Lisa Wilson told Tumber because the area is zoned for agriculture, he has a right to farm even if neighbors might complain.The item gave no indication how soon the solar farm might proceed, though it does not need approval by county supervisors.

Solar Power on Native American Lands


Photovoltaic power and solar water heating have been warmly embraced by an increasingly wide demographic within the United States, including Native Americans. American Indian groups across the country have been turning to solar energy as way to power operations and to make better use of tribal lands. According to the U.S. House of Representative's Natural Resources Committee, Native American-held territory receives enough sunlight in a year to provide for double the country's current energy consumption, an estimated annual PV output of more than 9.2 million megawatt-hours of electricity."When a Tribe or nation develops their resources of fossil fuels, whether coal, oil or natural gas, the resources are limited and will run out," according to the Global Energy Network Institute (GENI). "However, if a Tribe or nation develops clean, renewable sources of energy, such as its wind, solar, hydro, or geothermal potential, no matter how long or how much energy is produced, the resources will still be as plentiful as when they were first harnessed."
There are a number of unique benefits of installing solar power systems on tribal lands. Photovoltaic electricity can be sold to power companies,Though there are many wholesale companies which offer you wholesale solar panels, but it is hard to find the best. You need to look out for superior quality when you are looking for buying China Solar Chargers Wholesalers like solar lanterns, solar lights, etc. It is always beneficial if you are looking for solar lights in bulk. providing an additional revenue source for Native American groups. This can provide tribes with a steady revenue stream that can be used for completing large projects, according to GENI.Additionally, the large tracts of space available at many reservations in western states make Native American lands ideal for the development of utility-scale photovoltaic projects, PV Insider reported.Not all safety is simply from invasion. You ought to also be involved concerning the health and welfare of people who live and work inside China Power Bank Wholesalers residence or company. Having the area surrounding your house and enterprise won't only reveal intruders but in addition hurdles, holes, and and so on. that may pose dangers of damage in addition to potential intruders. In addition, a GENI report said renewable energy sources like solar power often easily correspond with tribal beliefs about protecting the environment.Located in the Southwestern United States, the Navajo reservation lies in one of the country's richest areas for solar power potential. In addition, many of the reservation's residents live without access to the main power grid, and remote solar energy systems are an ideal way to bring power to this population. The Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) brought power to about one third of the reservation's 30,000 estimated residents living without electricity with battery-supplemented off-grid solar energy installations, GENI reported.
"The PV systems managed by the NTUA Solar Program, unlike most residential PV systems deployed in the U.S., are the primary source of electricity for their remote and off-grid customers,When it comes to buying such lights, consumers have various options to explore. Offline stores close to your place of residence is an ideal choice to buy these China Solar Light Offers. Many stores keep stocks of various brands of varying sizes and you are definite to find lights of your choice.If you are unable to find solar lights at any offline stores, browse online." according to a report from Sandia National Laboratories. "While most residential installations are installed primarily due to our nation?s current environmental conscience or to secure taxation credits, PV on the Navajo reservation is growing because ... it provides a viable technical option to providing electricity to those without it."

Solar power in telecom towers, agri pumpsets viable business


Solar powered telecom towers and solar powered agriculture pumpsets are attractive market segments from scale and potential perspective, points a KPMG report.The report says that the solar power can economically replace diesel fuel consumption. Diesel power is used in industrial and retail sector: both as a back up and as a full-time source of power generation. Its utility is usually observed in far-flung areas where grid connectivity is nearly absent. DG-sets operating for over four hours daily can economically use solar power, especially during daytime, the report said, adding it may not be economically feasible to replace diesel generation (DG) completely through stand-alone solar systems with battery-bank.
"At present, the variable cost of power from diesel based generation is upwards of Rs 14 per unit (likely to increase with rise in diesel price). Solar power is currently less than Rs 10 per unit and likely to reduce further making it economical to replace a portion of the demand being met by diesel," Arvind Mahajan, partner and head – energy and natural resources, KPMG India said.Telecom towers and agriculture pumpsets have potential for solar power use. Telecom towers with low connected load and almost non-existent grid power supply are the most viable choices for solarisation. While there is high dependence on diesel, the power from DG-set is also quite expensive for towers in those areas.
According to preliminary analysis, diesel consumption in telecom tower industry will increase from about 2 billion litres per annum (comprising about 3.5 per cent of India's annual diesel consumption) at present to about 3.5 billion litres per annum by 2020 (on the assumption that total number of towers will double by then). Reducing the consumption of diesel from power segment just by 10 per cent can save around $450 million annually.Around 50,000 towers in the country at present have a strong business case for solarisation and require minimal subsidy support from the government. Accordingly, an opportunity for installation of around 250 mw of solar PV capacity is viable.Many business organizations have recognized this and are making solar lights that use sun energy for lighting.Using Lighting Africa Wholesalers offer a number of benefits. First of all, they are quite cheap compared to traditional lighting because the main source of energy, the sun energy, is freely available. Another benefit of using such lights is it is eco-friendly and doesn't cause any damage to the environment. Further,There are hundreds of options when it comes to motion sensing lights. Most hardware or home improvement stores carry these devices but China Motion Sensor Lights Wholesalers can also order them online where there may be a bigger selection of styles and varieties.You have many choices when it comes to outdoor motion sensing lights. the potential will increase with more towers becoming viable in the coming years. In this case, development of a solar lease model for telecom towers can enable higher solar power adoption.According to estimates, India has an installed base of 25 million pumpsets, with 18 million electric pumpsets and around 7 million diesel pumpsets. Based on calculations, replacement of diesel pump-sets with solar powered ones can lead to a potential of 12,Do you want to buy solar powered flash lights?

Halogen and incandescent lights use more energy as compared to the LED lights which utilize just about 80% to 90% lesser amount of energy. Consumption of electricity is reduced overall. Costs of electricity have seen a significant increase over the years and the option of LED lighting can surely help is saving a good amount of money. Gu10 led bulbs 50w lights release less energy in comparison to the rest of the counterparts like halogens and incandescent lights.

Newnan looks at switching to LED Christmas decorations


Newnan City Council will take up a request from the Christmas Committee for increasing its budget by about $10,000 for additional Christmas decorations in the downtown area during its meeting Tuesday.The city has budgeted $6,350 in the annual budget for Christmas decorations. The Christmas Committee wants to move from standard, short-lived and easily breakable light bulbs to "longer lasting and essentially unbreakable LED lights" for lighting various tree trunks."There would be a long-term savings, but the initial cost of the LED bulbs is several times higher than the standard bulbs that are currently being used," the committee members said in their report. "To switch over all of the tree lights for the forty trees to LED lights would cost $8,360. The committee would also like to recommend that the city purchase an extra-large artificial wreath to place on the front of the Carnegie Library. The approximate cost of the wreath would be about $400.
"The total cost of these recommendations would be $16,975, which is $10,625 over the allocated budget," the committee added in their request document. Also included in that increase are additional tree light strands and LED snowflakes.Council will meet at its chambers on LaGrange Street at 2:30 p.m.Also on the agenda is consideration of adding another health care insurance option for city employees."In an effort to combat the rising cost of health care coverage, the city wishes to give employees a choice between the current HMO plan or a lower cost POS 80/60 plan which would offer cost savings for the city and the employees," according to council documents. "In addition to the cost savings, the POS plan would allow employees to utilize out of network physicians, which is not allowed under the current HMO plan."
The POS plan would cost $386 for an employee and $1,023 for a family. The current HMO plan costs $459 for an employee and $1,218 for a family.Internet is full of resources which may help you in getting desired solar lights within your budget.

The former provide lighting just like China Motion Sensor Lights Exporters would like to expect - a directed flood of light in the targeted area where you have installed the light. The latter, on the other hand, provide exceptional beauty and operate in most cases more as a front porch or door light. the zodiacal light is easiest to see after sunset in springtime, because then the ecliptic is most perpendicular to the western horizon in the evening.

Letter: Invest in the wind to power economy


Raymond Gaus, in his letter "Wind expensive source of energy," Sept. 3, mischaracterizes the balance sheet of tax subsidies for power production in the United States. Contrary to Mr. Gaus' implication, wind and solar energy have not been unduly favored.First, to put the impact of birds killed by wind turbines in perspective, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other organizations estimate annual bird deaths due to collisions with buildings range from 97 million to 976 million, 60 million or more may be killed by vehicles,Considering the added safety and convenience benefits of motion lights, these lights provide China Remote Controlled LED Suppliers with great value and added protection for your family and home. Consider replacing existing outdoor lighting with motion lights, or adding new outdoor motion lighting to your home, to receive these benefits. and up to 2 million are killed in oil and wastewater pits. Further, a recent study conducted by the American Bird Conservancy found that cats kill at least 500 million birds per year.Some energy incentives, like the depletion allowance for oil and gas, are permanent in the tax code and have been in place since the 1920s. U.S. government subsidies for oil, natural gas and coal have totaled more than $500 billion from 1950 to 2006. Wind energy's primary incentive, the renewable energy production tax credit, is an investment in the form of tax relief that only rewards results. It pays for itself.
But the tax credit has been allowed to expire multiple times, including in 1999, 2001 and 2003,In the spring and fall, make sure that solar panels are clear of falling leaves or other blowing debris. You should also take care when raking or leaf blowers do not damage any solar lights or China Solar chargers for Iphone Suppliers.

It has been consistently reinstated for only one- or two-year terms. In effect, many incentives for new, clean energy technologies are temporary, while many for older, polluting energy technologies are permanent.I'll leave it to others to comment on the wisdom of subsidizing the oil industry while energy companies are bringing in record profits. But, if you do the math, it's clear that our nation's investment in wind energy is sound economic policy, with clear benefits for us all.
Three other vacant buildings and the barn on the site would house SolRWind's manufacturing and assembly operations, a training facility, and research and development.

Of the 13,000 acres, she said only about 1,000 acres have been transferred to the authority from the U.S. Army, which is in charge of the site's environmental cleanup.Since the depot was closed as part of the 1995 Base Closure and Realignment Commission process, Roche said there have been many interested projects and ideas for the site — but few have come to fruition. To date, nearly a dozen tenants have purchased property in the park and are operating businesses or pursuing future projects.

Jackson debates solar farm


A new plan may turn what was once a toxic landfill into a money-saving energy source for Jackson.After abandoning a proposal to use the former Legler Landfill off Homestead Road as a municipal compost site, officials now hope to make it the location of a future solar farm.The farm,Many business organizations have recognized this and are making solar lights that use sun energy for lighting.Using Lighting Africa Wholesalers offer a number of benefits. First of all, they are quite cheap compared to traditional lighting because the main source of energy, the sun energy, is freely available. Another benefit of using such lights is it is eco-friendly and doesn't cause any damage to the environment. they hope, would lower the township's energy costs and generate income by leasing the land to a solar developer."We believed that savings would be significant," Business Administrator Jose "Joey" Torres said in a telephone interview Thursday.Torres said Brick saved millions of dollars from a similar solar project there.Jackson officials will vote next week to set aside $70,000 for a solar study. The money will be pulled from two capital projects bonds totaling $3.4 million that originally allocated money for, among other things, the use of the Legler Landfill as a compost facility.
Officials expect a feasibility study on the prospective solar farm to cost less than $35,000. The remaining money will be canceled, Torres said. The new plan, he said, was spurred by a recent solar energy law signed by Gov. Chris Christie.The solar farm initiative is not without its critics. The landfill's history is contentious, as the site was the focus of a 1983 lawsuit in which 96 families were awarded $17.6 million in damages.After Legler area residents protested the compost facility in October 2010, the Township Council abandoned the area for consideration."The township is not pursuing a compost site on Legler. That issue is dead," Torres said.A solar farm could have explosive results, because methane gas still escapes from the ground at Legler, said A. Gregory Auriemma, chairman of the Ocean County Sierra Club, a local chapter of the environmental group.
"Generating electricity from solar is great," Auriemma said.This is particularly important since the outside lighting is being encouraged by a lot of China Outdoor Exporters.You will also observe some governments and local based councils who are willing to offer incentives and reward money to homeowners who want to dispose of their old light bulbs for outdoor solar lighting. But "the temperatures on the solar panels would be hotter than would be on a composting facility."The combination of heat and methane gas means there is the risk of explosion, he said.With the buzzwords 'sustainable, renewable, recycling, eco' rocketing around everywhere we look, it's easy to get drawn into relying solely on a wind up or solar powered torch or lantern for lighting on site. Better to keep your eyes firmly on the need for reliable functional lighting and keep the trendy options as alternatives. Hopefully (and sincerely), we'll soon be in a world where our jackets and rucksack use solar power to charge lights and laptops as well as mobile phones and mp3 players.Having wandered around the aisles of power for a while,If rope lighting are not interesting, several homes make judicious utilization of solar powered ornamental lighting, as part of Best Custom Power Bank landscaping furthermore into a hopeful deterrent to would be intruders. Combining two or a lot more with the types of exterior lighting mentioned above could net even better outcomes. I ended up where most of us find ourselves – compromising. Perhaps that should have been 'hedging' as multi-power source options seem to be the most practical, reliable and useful. Charge them up from the mains, the car, the sun and/or winding like fury to deliver light when you need it. On the other hand, go to bed early and get up early.

Business plan winners hope to shine a light on social enterprise


Since Andrea Sreshta and Anna Stork founded LuminAID Lab, a company that makes solar-powered lanterns, early last year, they have won three business plan competitions, launched an internet sales campaign that netted $50,000 and – perhaps most notably – provided thousands of people in disaster-struck regions with a durable, waterproof light source."It has been extremely challenging but also an exciting time," says Ms Sreshta, 28, who is a second-year MBA student at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.

In May, LuminAID Lab took first place in Booth's Social New Venture Challenge, a business plan competition for social enterprises, winning $30,000 in cash.The company has broken even on the back of sales to customers who plan to use the lights for camping or other outdoor recreational activities. The biggest challenge for LuminAID Lab is whether it can successfully sell to one of the big organisations in the humanitarian aid world, such as the UN or the Red Cross.It will not be easy, says Robert Gertner, professor of strategy and finance at Booth and an adviser to the team. "Those are not the easiest organisations for a start-up of two people to sell to," he says. "They really need a focused approach and they need to continue to test the market."
Prof Gertner is an enthusiastic supporter of the LuminAID Lab. "It really is a great product. It has a social purpose, but you could see this kind of product prominently displayed in a camping store, or on an ecommerce site for gadget lovers," he says.But even he admits: "It's hard for social enterprises to make money."The idea for the LuminAID light sprung from an unusual class assignment. In January 2010, after hundreds of thousands of people died in the Haiti earthquake, Ms Stork and Ms Sreshta,When it comes to buying such lights, consumers have various options to explore.

But after speaking to a relief worker in Haiti who told them that light was an often-ignored need in the wake of a disaster, the pair focused on designing a solar-powered lantern. "The earthquake victims felt so unsafe at night that they couldn't get beyond survival mode," says Ms Stork, 26.The best way to take your business to greater heights ad provide solar products to customers at lower prices than the competitor, then China Solar Chargers Suppliers need to look out for wholesale solar panel supplies.

Intelligent Lighting: Realising Responsive, Smart Illumination


The concept of intelligent lighting has drastically changed in recent years, moving away from applications relating to stage lighting and non-stationary illumination in order to encompass sustainability in energy consumption, through the ability to wirelessly control on/off and dimming/brightening functions according to sensory input from the environment of operation. Whether incorporated as part of building automation or integrated in civil infrastructure in the wider idea of a "smarter city", it involves utilization of wireless sensor, connectivity and energy harvesting technologies, allowing for more sustainable practices. Spearheaded by applications such as wireless switches for light controls by companies like EnOcean, it is now growing into something much larger and much more pervasive.
All these topics will be covered in depth at the IDTechEx co-located conferences on Energy Harvesting & Storage and Wireless Sensor Networks & RTLS in Washington, DC on November 7-8, focusing on both indoor and outdoor applications.Aside from the well documented activities of EnOcean in the space of building automation, complete solutions are also coming from collaborations between other companies. For example, NXP, utilizing its proprietary Green Chip technology, is working with GreenWave Reality, a global innovator in smart home services, who has developed a connected lighting platform that enables consumers to control their lighting within the home via remote control, smartphone applications or in-home sensors that detect changes in motion or lighting conditions,Outdoor motion activated switch are one of the best ways to initial deter an intruder.
