  1. Anyone know what kind of lightbulb this is?

    I have one burnt out and I want to replace them with “smart” variants

    Quelqu’un sait quel type d’ampoule il s’agit.

    J’en ai une qui a brûlée et je veux les remplacer par des variantes « intelligentes »

  2. ✨ Ah yes, the shocking #exposé on how invisible light is wreaking havoc on our health—because who needs tangible problems when you can blame ethereal beams? 🤔 Plus, nothing says scientific rigor like pondering light bulbs in a fancy chateau while sipping #Bordeaux. 🍷🔦

  3. Carlos Garaicoa, “Towers”, 2000, Japanese rice paper, metal wire, 8 light bulbs ★ Cuba ★ phillips.com/detail/carlos-gargalleriacontinua.com/artists/c #CarlosGaraicoa #contemporaryart #contemporarysculpture #architectureinspired #architecture #towers #phallic #queervibes #papersculpture #lightbulbs #artstars #biennialartists #Moscowbiennale #Cubanartists #2000s

    Я запомнил Карлоса Гарайкоа (Гарайкою?) по его элегантным архитектурным ниточкам на первой Московской биеннале. В Музее ничего.

  4. A little video of Galen's finished "Slumlord" sign. I bent the neon for him, and some of his sign painter buddies helped with the paint design.

    Galen wears the "Slumlord" badge with pride- refusing to raise rent on his property in the rapidly gentrifying Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma. The piece is inspired by another landlord with a coin operated gas meter on the stove (quarters for cooking time).

    We love the clickity clackety of the mechanical incandescent bulb flasher in there- Galen mounted it so the whole metal "can" acts as an "amplifier". Galen loves anything mechanical. It was way fun being his Teachers Assistant for the class.

    The ruby red glass in this came from Chihuly "Studio 1" in Tacoma (long since moved to Seattle)

  5. #PSA: Many #LED #lightbulbs don't last their warranty period or the hours they claim to last. When you install one, save the receipt and write on the base with a fine-tip permanent marker: the date you bought it, the number of hours it's rated for, and the warranty length. If it fails prematurely, you can use that info and the receipt to get a free replacement. You'll save some cash, and people doing this incentivizes manufacturers to stop selling crap bulbs. #ConsumerActivism
