Results of a recent lighting survey in Rome showed that "walking comfort was affected by mean luminance of whole scene, of sidewalk, of lateral wall and of human body; luminance also influenced the perception of street lighting intensity and uniformity and, to a lesser extent, the visibility of other people and of background."
Curious about our ArtNet based light control system?
We've created a web GUI that enables easy access to various typical vehicle lighting scenarios. The operator gets instant feedback about the currently activated scenario.
Our layering concept allows prioritizing lighting animations and stacking them on top of each other.
By the way: Animations are provided as CSV files. You're free in choosing the tool to generate these.
We are making progress with our new ArtNet-based lighting control system!
The most important ArtNet frames are now implemented. We have also successfully tested the implementation of our new layering concept: Multiple animations (for example flashing and a "Welcome" animation) can now be prioritized and stacked on top of each other. In the video, the flashing has a higher priority and thus overlays the "Welcome" animation.
There are still bugs hidden here and there, but we are looking forward to presenting a first complete version soon!
"A second piece of legislation, the Dark Skies Protection Act, S.7663/A5632 would significantly reduce #LightPollution in #NewYork by requiring most non-essential outdoor #lighting be covered by an external shield, be motion-activated, or be turned off between 11 PM and 5 AM. ... The Dark Skies Act will help create a safer environment for #birds by reducing the #ArtificialLight in our night skies."
My wife and I really enjoy building #Lego modular buildings from the old #expert system. We have quite a few and are now able to display them in the living room. One thing we want to do is buy some #lighting kits so we can light up the street. The lights usually have a #USB A connector and we thought that a hub would be a good option. Does anyone know if they make a USB Hub only for power?
#LightPollution represents wasted electricity, which in turn means millions of tons of greenhouse gases added to the atmosphere every year — even when we use energy-efficient outdoor #lighting
Proprietary track lighting in a room. I suspect my proper fix on this ($) is to just change this to the same standard as the other three track lighting systems in the house. PITA. #tracklighting#lighting#remodel
Although Nantucket Lights' new Outdoor Lighting Guide has "Nantucket in mind", it contains great advice and information that any community would find useful.
Had to demolish a spare 2U blanking plate to get the Pulsar to sit in the rack, and repurpose an old headphone amp to get the signal up to a level it can work with - but that'll do for taking out on the road.
Just waiting on the PAR36 spots for the gantry now.
(The NJD Euro light controller at the top handles the screens at the front of the stand, which have been retrofitted with LED bulbs).
