For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training. We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.
Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!
I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here)) |
Light bulbs
Little did we realise in 2006 when we installed light fittings and shades at Well House Manor that took standard 60w fillament bulbs that we would be unable to purchase such bulbs any longer just five years later. And that what's on offer as replacements have different characteristics. All of the following are factors that may need to be considered:
• Quality of light
• Amount of light
• Aestheics of exposed bulbs
• Diffusion evenness
• Warm up time
• Cost of bulbs
• Life of bulbs
• Running costs
• Ongoing availability
• Safety / acceptable heating of fitting
• Flicker / effect on SAD and Migraine
Many web sites seem to provide advise - especially from those who sell light bulbs, so on that basis I have to express a degree of concern at their impartiallity. There is something on the direct government site - [here].
Yesterday, we replaced pairs of lights in five of our downstairs public / semipublic areas with a whole series of different types of bulbs, and we're going to keep an eye on how each goes, whether we feel the light is dull, how long they last, etc. Getting customer and staff feedback so that we know what suits us
There seem to be even more types of lightbulbs than paragraphs I have to write about them ;-) (written 2011-09-13)
