Landscape Lighting

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Landscape Lighting is a vital part to every home. Using landscape lighting serves many purposes from adding value to your home to providing extra home security.

Landscape Lighting helps add security because of the extra lighting it provides to the outside of your house will deter potential intruders. The extra light makes them more likely to be seen so they may think twice about trying anything.  Along with providing security landscape lighting also can a value because of the curb appeal that it provides to potential buyers. By using the right techniques you can come up with a very professional and appealing look.

Another great thing about landscape lighting is that if you use low voltage lights and parts you can easily install everything yourself. This very easy do-it-yourself project that is also very flexible for if you decide to make any additions or other changes to your yard or outdoor lighting.

Artificial Natural Lighting, the Brain-imploding Technology of the Future

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

As most things don’t begin, this began with a table. The “Sunlight Table”, a technological innovation in indoor lighting, is the brainchild of Anab Jain and Stuart Wood. Originally developed to observe “how sustainable work environments are established to emphasize the significance of a work/life balance”, the Sunlight Table seeks to literally bring a ray of sunshine into your home.

The Sunlight Table

Whether it’s a 9-to-5 office job, a college classroom, a kitchen or living room or bedroom, most major daily events happen underneath something that at least resembles a roof. In these cases, indoor lighting is an always important although sometimes subtle feature, but it doesn’t do what the sun does: provide vitamin D.

Sunlight is an evolutionary force; it’s not surprising when it’s removed from people’s lives that depression, weight-gain, heart problems and even just unexplained pain can occur. “Indoor lighting” doesn’t immediately come to mind if you were asked to throw out a few suggestions on how to alleviate this problem. But even so–and without a Firefox add-on to do such a thing–the Sunlight Table may be able to help.

Tiny fiber-optic cables were fed underneath and into the table, positioned in neat rows to form a grid. They were then threaded into another window-mounted grid so that any shadows and light sources shined through and traveled down the cables, eventually forming a kind of dot matrix printout of sunlight onto the table that mimicked the outside.

With no electricity needed for this technology to work, I’m excited to see what the future holds.
