  1. Denmark is painting the town red—for the bats. In a world-first initiative, the municipality of Gladsaxe has switched to red LED streetlights along key roadways to protect local nocturnal wildlife, particularly bat species sensitive to artificial light.
    The core scientific insight is that traditional white and blue light spectrums disrupt bats' echolocation and feeding patterns. Red light, however, offers a safe, sustainable alternative that maintains public safety while preserving the local ecosystem.
    This isn't just a quirky experiment; it's a smart blueprint for eco-conscious urban planning. The shift reduces light pollution and energy consumption, demonstrating how city infrastructure can meet global sustainability goals (like the UN SDGs) and successfully coexist with nature.

  2. Big Generator: Cobh’s Night Electric

    Big Generator rocked Cobh last August during the Cobh People’s Regatta. They played in the band stand in the park and even later in the evening after the fireworks there was a large crowd dancing and enjoying the music! Look out for them as they play around the country.

    Yes and...

    I'm convinced most pets see the flickering that humans can't see, but those of us who have sensory issues may also perceive them. The solution is to get a bulb with a higher frequency rate, but that's hard to get.

    I've never used these but the NY Times recommends some: nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews

    In addition, LED bulbs tend to be made more cheaply than before, and you generally want to look for bulbs that are made for "Enclosed Fixtures" such as light fixtures that do things like light diffusion, otherwise they may not last nearly as long.

    I think there's a whole other discussion around smart lights.

  4. Finally upgraded the lights in my smaller studio space (where I shoot products under 24" in size) to all LED lighting, including 4 RGB lights. This is where I photograph about 60% of the coffee and espresso gear we show on CoffeeGeek.

    Includes:
    - 250W RGB COB light with 36" softbox
    - 150W Bi-Colour COB light w 24" softbox
    - Two 70W LCD RGB Panel lights on a twin stand (behind the difuser on the left)
    - 16" softbox with 4 bulbs, that I converted from florescent to 20W (x4) RGB Full Spectrum bulbs. It gets crazy bright too.

    Not shown - my background modifier panel, which I haven't set up yet in this pic.

  5. Today's 🐇🕳️

    Anyone interested in dynamic will likely find this a fascinating read.

    I now have ideas! I'm gonna have to make time to dig out a and Fibonacci display and do some tinkering. 😃

  6. Good Earth Rechargeable Integrated Lights Recalled. The batteries within the lights overheat and ignite the units elastic housing leading to fires and burns. #goodearthlighting #ledlights #batteries #overheating #fires #burns #recall

  7. Oh, that’s a very unusual LED pattern! I’ve never seen this sort of thing done before.

    I suppose now that most everything is LED filament, I never will again either. What an odd little moment in LED lighting history I’ve discovered!

  8. A #philosophical question about #electronics : if an LED ("Light-Emitting Diode") is not emitting light (ie, it's not receiving power) is it actually an LED or just a D ("Diode")?

  9. Der lange Zeit in Dunkelhaft gehaltene Bogenhanf darf als Versuchspflanze dienen, bis ich die Gemüsepflanzen aussäe.
    Mal sehen, wie das dem geschundenen Pflänzchen tut. Wenn es ihr besser geht, ist die LED-Pflanzenlampe bestimmt nicht verkehrt.
