As electrons travel through the filament of a bulb they will scatter off of
(collide with) lattice imperfections and phonons, giving up energy to the 
filament each time.  This is how the electrons heat the filament.

The filament in the first situation will be either thinner, or longer than
in the second situation.  If the filament is thinner, the electrons must go
faster to carry a given current, and will give up more energy each time 
they scatter.  If the filament is longer, the electron will have scatter
more times and hence give up more energy.  Most likely, the filament in the
second case is enough thicker so that the electrons travel at the same speed
in each situation but the filament in situation 1 will be twice as long as in
situation 2, so half the current will do the same heating.

This also works for heating, where delta T = U x R, for heatflow through an
insulated surface, eg the wall of a house. In this case, it is known as
Newton's Law of Cooling. delta T is the temperature difference between one
side of the surface and the other in degrees F, U is in Btu/hour, and R is the
thermal resistance of the surface, ie its R-value/surface area in square feet.

as several other people have mentioned, Cree research does manufacture
Blue LEDs which are not laboratory prototypes...they are quite inefficient,
but certainly work fine at room temperature...GaN LEDs are much more efficient,
but that technology isn't nearly as mature as the SiC that Cree uses (??).

There are a few applications that can control dimmers via a PC. (If I
understand you correctly) This of course still requires a conventional
controller to stand in line and act as an interface for cue storage. 

As for the dimmable flourescent, try Lighting and Electronics new fixture.
Comes double and single tube and has been very impressive in many
applications and demos. L&E is in upstate N.Y. or if you need help with

I guess if you have a controller that converts digital to 0 -10VDC you can
drive the Advance MKVII, and Motorola Helios Ballasts.  

Lutron's new ballast is called Eco-10 because it is a 10% dimming ballast
as compared to the Hi-lume 1% model.  They use a phase control 3-wire
system that would need to be run through an inexpensive module they call a
"BCI" to be controlled via a 0-10VDC signal.  If you call them, they may
have another way they dim via computer.  Talk to Dave Luchaco.  He's one
of the best dimming engineers on the planet.

BTW - They have been shipping the Eco-10 for a couple months now.

I tried to connect in Mosaic to this:

and Mosaic looked and looked but I canceled the request.  Should I try it
again or something else?

The page is actually on an ftp server rather than a www server, so if 
you specify 'http:' instead of 'file:' in your URL the document will not 
be retrieved properly.  

(It will still look and act just like any other html document, however.)

FYI: to connect to a ftp site use the following in Mosaic (or, even better 
Netscape)
ftp://netcom.com/pub/st/stuartl/resources.html

The ftp:// is the type of site you are going to, and the rest is the URL 
 or "real" address.

Have fun.

Hi Ken,

Nice to see notice of your page.  I will have a look and email any comments
later.

The INternational Dark-Sky Association, whose goals are to promote the value
of dark skies and of quality outdoor nighttime lighting, has a page you
might want to reference.  Its temporay home is :
http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/cfa/ps.nelpag/ida/IDA1.html

NELPAG has a page too, with a link from the ida page.

In time, the Web should be a most valuable resource for anyone interested in
lighting.  Let's hope that the IES as a whole (and the CIE) gets a presence
too in the not too distant future.

I'll get back after I have seen the pages.

I think that an announcement of John's new Web site deserves more fanfare
than that.  It covers all aspects of lighting, with a focus on real world
solutions and design recommendations.  It features reprinted articles from
lighting journals (this months is the excellent article on sulfur lighting
from IAEEL), energy-efficient lighting upgrade of the month, new products,
industry news, calendar of events, and gateways to over a dozen
lighting-related information resources on the Internet--the best I've seen
yet.  It's a young site, just getting started, but very sharp, well
organized, and headed in a great direction.  Give it a try.

The page is actually on an ftp server rather than a www server, so if

as several other people have mentioned, Cree research does manufacture
Blue LEDs which are not laboratory prototypes...they are quite inefficient,
but certainly work fine at room temperature...GaN LEDs are much more efficient,
but that technology isn't nearly as mature as the SiC that Cree uses (??).

This also works for heating, where delta T = U x R, for heatflow through an
insulated surface, eg the wall of a house. In this case, it is known as
Newton's Law of Cooling. delta T is the temperature difference between one
side of the surface and the other in degrees F, U is in Btu/hour, and R is the
thermal resistance of the surface, ie its R-value/surface area in square feet.

As electrons travel through the filament of a bulb they will scatter off of

The filament in the first situation will be either thinner, or longer than
in the second situation.  If the filament is thinner, the electrons must go
faster to carry a given current, and will give up more energy each time 
they scatter.  If the filament is longer, the electron will have scatter
more times and hence give up more energy.  Most likely, the filament in the
second case is enough thicker so that the electrons travel at the same speed
in each situation but the filament in situation 1 will be twice as long as in
situation 2, so half the current will do the same heating.

I teach theatrical lighting at UCSC (Santa Cruz, CA), and hope that
some of you may advise me.  I have a few students that want to go on
into architectural lighting.  I don't know the schools and programs
in the architectural side of lighting, nor do I know what their
expectations of students are.

Could some of you pass on names of likely schools in this area, and
what level of math is expected from entering graduate students? Also,
is an apprenticeship to be encouraged before enrolling in grad
school?

Please respond to me directly, as this isn't really germane to this
list.
BTW, did anyone do a summary report on the recent lighting education
conference that was mentioned in this list?

Thanks much! - John

Hello, lighting wizards,

I'm looking for a smooth continuum lamp with a good flux in the
3000-3200 angstrom range.  The source will be used at an astronomical
telescope to calibrate our detectors.  Spectral smoothness is an
absolute requirement, but everything else is pretty flexible; 110v
is preferred, but anything up to that is ok, a 2"x2" bulb is fine,
but so is a 6"x6" one or anything remotely like that, and while
lower wattage is preferred to minimize unnecessary heat, I suppose
even a few hundred watts would be worth a try.  

So far, the best thing I've found is the 12v lamps with a dichroic
blue reflector -- that has the nice advantage of relatively
decreasing the red flux -- but the ones I've found so far are still
not blue enough.

Any recommendations?  A source and price would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Rem

Siemens has sold blue LED s for quite a few years.  These are based on SiC as
the semiconductor and had a major problem- extremely high price.  There seems
to have been no competition until the last few years (except for incandescent
lamps with blue envelopes, in LED sized packages).  Now that  others have
entered the market place the prices are an order of magnitude lower. Also,
brightness is getting better.  Thus, maybe the LED TV will be possible in the
not-too-distant future, though there remains the technical barrier of getting
arrays of these things.  Unlike many devices we have vastly different
substrates here.  Your typical IC is all silicon, or maybe all GaAs, with some
variation of low concentrations of foreign dopants from place to place.  The
different colors of LED are built around quite different materials requiring
quite different processing.  Either a very clever scheme is needed to lay down
hundreds of thousands of these very different spots of material using something
like lithographic techniques or else we'll need machines sticking all those
little chips on a substrate, one by one.  Will any company bother? Why? (A
color CCD contains nearly 500,000 sensing elements and the TV would need a
similar number to deliver the resolution given by the pick-up chip.)  It might
make sense for a military job, but nobody else can pay the bill.


  Sincerely,
  Bob

program such as MS Powerpoint to cycle through (slide show) the various

Xenon lamps provide flat spectrum with output down to 240 nm. They
require high voltage supplies and are expensive. Deuterium lamps
are also good (they are used in spectro

                                   ECO Bulbs
                          Energy Efficient Light Bulbs

                              Reduce Energy Bills
                           Help Save the Environment


What is an ECO Bulb?  An ECO Bulb is an energy-efficient compact flourescent
light bulb.  Using only 18 watts of energy, this bulb produces as much light
as a 60-75 watt incandescent bulb.  In addition to these energy savings, ECO
Bulbs also boast an incredibly long life - approximately 10,000 hours.  Thus,
one ECO Bulb lasts as long as THIRTEEN standard 750 hour bulbs. That's twelve
more bulbs you don't have to buy, and twelve more bulbs that won't end up in
our landfills.  Each ECO Bulb will save you $60 over its lifetime, based on
an energy cost of 10 cents/KWH.

Can changing a light bulb really make an impact on the environment?  It
certainly can.  Each time you choose an ECO Bulb over a regular incandescent
bulb, you save one barrell of oil.  That's right; one light bulb saves a whole
barrell of oil.

Convinced yet?  The Sierra Club of Fort Worth, Texas is selling Eco Bulbs
for $10.70 each, tax included.  Half of the proceeds will be donated to the
Fort Worth Habitat for Humanity.  If you'd like to order some bulbs, please
contact Karen Foley at (817) 467-5799.  This offer does not include shipping
and is mainly intended for Fort Worth area residents.  If you live elsewhere
and would be willing to pay for your own shipping, an arrangement could be
reached.  These bulbs typically cost around $15 in stores, so if you're
planning to buy several, you would likely save money through this offer,
even with additional shipping costs.  If you'd rather purchase compact
flourescent bulbs from a merchant closer to home, please check nearby hardware
and lighting stores.

ECO Bulbs are an easy way to save money and lessen your impact on the
environment.

Eco bulb?

Does it contain mercury and toxic elements/chemicals?

Most incandescent bulbs don't...

Is it self-ballasted with a "disposable" ballast that will use resources 
to make and just end up in a landfill, or is the lamp replaceable without 
trashing the ballast?

How does fixing one problem and creating another _really_  help the 
environment?

Sorry to pick on _this_ particular lamp, but the "Green Lights" 
designation is a travesty when we save energy and needlessy pollute and 
create useless, non-reusable components that could _easily_ be designed 
and manufactured to be recycled and reused.

PIN photodiodes are cheap, sensitive, fast and reliable but require some
support circuitry.  HP, TI and Burr-Brown make all sorts of neat
opto-electronic devices.  You will have to decide on the radiation band of
interest, power supply requirements, and what sort of output you want from
your detector; analog, digital or frequency.
Good Luck

There are a few applications that can control dimmers via a PC. (If I
understand you correctly) This of course still requires a conventional
controller to stand in line and act as an interface for cue storage. 

As for the dimmable flourescent, try Lighting and Electronics new fixture.
Comes double and single tube and has been very impressive in many
applications and demos. L&E is in upstate N.Y. or if you need help with
purchasing feel free to give me a call @ :

I am a school principal in New Jersey.  Our school system is converting to
T-8 full spectrum optic bulbs.  Some teachers find them too harsh.  My own
observation is that children's faces seem to have a red cast under this
lighting.  Is there anyone who knows anything about these bulbs and,
perhaps even more importantly, about any studies in which bulbs have been
related to pupil behavior?

Hi Ken,

Nice to see notice of your page.  I will have a look and email any comments
later.

The INternational Dark-Sky Association, whose goals are to promote the value
of dark skies and of quality outdoor nighttime lighting, has a page you
might want to reference.  Its temporay home is :
http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/cfa/ps.nelpag/ida/IDA1.html

NELPAG has a page too, with a link from the ida page.

In time, the Web should be a most valuable resource for anyone interested in
lighting.  Let's hope that the IES as a whole (and the CIE) gets a presence
too in the not too distant future.

I'll get back after I have seen the pages.

Regards,

I think that an announcement of John's new Web site deserves more fanfare
than that.  It covers all aspects of lighting, with a focus on real world
solutions and design recommendations.  It features reprinted articles from
lighting journals (this months is the excellent article on sulfur lighting
from IAEEL), energy-efficient lighting upgrade of the month, new products,
industry news, calendar of events, and gateways to over a dozen
lighting-related information resources on the Internet--the best I've seen
yet.  It's a young site, just getting started, but very sharp, well
organized, and headed in a great direction.  Give it a try.

I am a school principal in New Jersey.  Our school system is converting to
T-8 full spectrum optic bulbs.  Some teachers find them too harsh.  My own
observation is that children's faces seem to have a red cast under this
lighting.  Is there anyone who knows anything about these bulbs and,
perhaps even more importantly, about any studies in which bulbs have been
related to pupil behavior?

T-8 lamps are available in a variety of color temperatures. If the color
seems too red to you, you may want to try a 4100 K lamp.  I am a little
confused by your use of the term "full spectrum."  Does this mean that the
lamp emits Ultraviolet A, B and C? 
I can't give you any particular studies relating lamp technology with
student behavior.  However, it has been demonstrated on numerous occasions
that a well-lighted educational environment improves vision and visual
performance.  Whether or not this affects behavior is debatable. 
Feel free to contact me, if I can be of any help.

   if you specify 'http:' instead of 'file:' in your URL the document
   will not be retrieved properly.

Actually, "file:" is not the correct specification, and <a...> is not
the correct citation form for URL's.  The correct form is:

	ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/st/stuartl/resources.html

According to the URL spec, "file:" "does not designate a resource that
is universally accessible over the Internet".  As for <a...>, that is
the anchor used to reference the document within HTML, but the
location of the document itself is as above.  Note also that serving
the document via ftp rather than http means that the client (browser)
needs to "guess" how to display it.  Sure, it starts with <html>, so
that seems clear, but using HTTP makes things clearer.  So I'd suggest
you move to a WWW server when you can.

This all sounds nitpicky, doesn't it?  But it does make a difference

FYI: to connect to a ftp site use the following in Mosaic (or, even better 
Netscape)
ftp://netcom.com/pub/st/stuartl/resources.html

The ftp:// is the type of site you are going to, and the rest is the URL

I guess if you have a controller that converts digital to 0 -10VDC you can
drive the Advance MKVII, and Motorola Helios Ballasts.  

Lutron's new ballast is called Eco-10 because it is a 10% dimming ballast
as compared to the Hi-lume 1% model.  They use a phase control 3-wire
system that would need to be run through an inexpensive module they call a
"BCI" to be controlled via a 0-10VDC signal.  If you call them, they may
have another way they dim via computer.  Talk to Dave Luchaco.  He's one
of the best dimming engineers on the planet.

BTW - They have been shipping the Eco-10 for a couple months now.

The page is actually on an ftp server rather than a www server, so if 
you specify 'http:' instead of 'file:' in your URL the document will not 
be retrieved properly.  

(It will still look and act just like any other html document, however.)

Sorry if I'm jumping into the middle of a thread....

Are these for fluorescent lights?  And if so, what would be a ball park
price and can these be purchased at a good local lighting store?

thanks!

I am looking for information on the use of HV UV lamps for 
large-scale industrial water purification applications. I understand
there are some waterworks (in Californai for example) which prefer this
method of purification over chlorine. Can anyone provide information o
the efficacy of the UV technology, and on whatever competing technologies
exist for this application? Does anyone know of any companies directly
involved in UV water purification? 
			Thanks,
					Mike

Dave,
There is a program out there for theatre and film types that my be
applicable for you. It is a design program with symbols for drafting,
footcandle/lux readouts from various libraries of luminaires (user
adaptable), and a "show model" facility to see what a user designed
polygon shape will look like under the lights with various gels etc., etc.
The program is called MacLux by Claude Heintz of Oregon (address is in
Compuserve).
Hope this helps!
Cheers!
Sam

To Terry McGowan,


Hi,
 I saw your posting in the sci.engr.lighting group and
wanted to know if you had any additional info  on the use of
high voltage ultra-violet lamps for industrial/municipal
waste water purification. Is this a viable technology
or are there problems with it? Do you know of any
companies using this technology for sewage/potable water
treatment? Are there any up and coming technologies that can
compete with this in replacing chlorine purification?
I would appreciate any info or leads you have on the subject.
Thanks.

I noticed an opto-oddity the other day and this seems an appropriate
forum to ask for an explaination.

I was at a party where a fluorescent "black light" was used to
illumate one corner of the room. I noticed that whenever the light from
this tube came over the top of my (polycarbonate?) glasses, I had the odd
sensation that the light had suddenly become much brighter. Looking directy
at the bulb, with and without glasses, my overt perception of the color and
"brightness" of the bulb did not seem to change very much, but clearly
something was causing
visual response of some kind. I quickly guessed that my plastic lenses
(or perhaps a coating) were filtering out UV. I managed to convince myself
this was true by fooling around with a (fluorescing) white t-shirt. Here's
my real
question. Is there some part of your visual system hooked to your iris and
"your perception of glare" that doesn't excite your cones and rods and
make the source "look bright" in the conventional way?  Does this system
image? with some resolution?  Could it be used by sinister corporate
forces to paint subliminal messages on billboards? 

Just wondering...

You might want to check out the Feb.or March issue of WIRED magazine.  There is 
an article in there on the coming of blue lasers/LEDS.  The author 
speculates that this will spell the end of neon design.

Spots have the ability to either have a very sharp fall off (a sharp edge) or a
very slow fall off (a soft edge). A Fresnel (a member of the floodlight family)
has a very soft edge only. For a text _Lighting the Stage: Art and Practice_ by
Willard F. Belman (ISBN 0-810-20040-6) has excellent sections dealing with the
technical side of stage lighting.

It would also help for you to go to a supplier and see first hand how the
various lights compare.

p.s. - rec.arts.theatre.stagecrafts follows all technical threads of this
nature.

You may also want to check out bi-level HID systems - each manufacturer
makes their own system.  It is a little more cost-effective than a true
dimmable system.

good luck.

Effective immediately, the Lighting mailing list is now a "Moderated"
mailing list.

This means that no longer can you, or anyone else, post messages that will
be automatically resent to everyone.  Now, the moderator will have to
review all messages first and manually approve their posting.  This will
cause a time delay before messages are publicized, but the idea is that it
greatly improve the signal to noise ratio of the mailing list.

Clay Belcher, who was instrumental in starting both this list and the
sci.engr.lighting newsgroup, has offered to act as the moderator.  Indeed,
I was so glad that someone offered to help, I hacked out a way to make
a moderated mailing list with this software (which until now didn't support
moderated mailing lists).

Clay will judge the suitability of each message for delivery to the mailing
list subscribers.  He'll say more about how he views his job, later.  In
general, the idea is this:

Messages suitable for posting to Lighting:

  1)  Technical information of general interest.
  2)  Technical questions in search of an answer.
  3)  Answers to the above, so everyone knows that the question has
      been answered.
  4)  Commentary on any of the above, provided the commentary contains
      additional information.

Message *not* suitable for posting to Lighting:

  1)  Administrivia messages, such as "subscribe" and "unsubscribe."
      (These should be sent to "Lighting-Request"!)
  2)  Unsolicited advertisements
  3)  Messages intended for a single recipient, such as:
      a)  Please send me a copy of that, too
      b)  Hi Charlie, how you been doin'?
      c)  I liked your answer to...
      d)  Will you be at the conference?
  4)  Commentary on postings without technical content (such as "Bull...").
  5)  Anything you wouldn't want your mother or lawyer to see.

If anyone posts an unsuitable message to Lighting, the moderator, at his
option, may send an explanation to the sender, or simply ignore it.

If anyone is dissatisfied about the job the moderator is doing, please send
private EMail to him first to try to resolve your complaint.
Failing that, you are welcome to send your complaints to me.

I hope this improves the readibility of the mailing list.  Remember, the
sci.engr.lighting newsgroup is still as anarchistic as it has always been.

You've all read Jonathan Hardis' explanation of the switching of this
list to a moderated list.  I just wanted to add my comments about how I
plan to approach the job.

First of all, the intent is not to censor or in any way limit or stifle
debate.  We are merely trying to eliminate some of the nuisance messages
that have proliferated recently.

I check my e-mail at least once a day, and frequently twice.  Thus, the
delay imposed by "moderating" the list should be minimal.  If I plan to
be away from my computer for more than one day, we'll make arrangements
to have somebody cover for me.

If a message is sent to the list that is intended for an individual, and not
of general interest, I will probably simply forward it to the intended
recipient if I can do that easily.  This assumes that the personal message
was posted to the list naively or as an honest mistake.  If someone makes a
habit of doing it, I'll send that person a request to stop.

I suspect the traffic is light enough that I will be able to make some
sort of response to each rejected message, but I won't make any promises
at this point.  I reserve the right to simply let it die in my in box.

As Jonathan mentioned, feel free to contact me if a problem arises.

Siemens Electric Ltd. has DC Lighting Ballast but it is 48vdc and is primarily 
used in Digital Switching Central Offices. It can eliminate high voltage surges 
and damages from transient spikes and logitudinal currents resulting from 
commercial AC power load balance switching and ligtning hits can be eliminated.

Hi,
 I saw your posting in the sci.engr.lighting group and
wanted to know if you had any additional info  on the use of
high voltage ultra-violet lamps for industrial/municipal
waste water purification. Is this a viable technology
or are there problems with it? Do you know of any
companies using this technology for sewage/potable water
treatment? Are there any up and coming technologies that can
compete with this in replacing chlorine purification?
I would appreciate any info or leads you have on the subject.
Thanks.

OK.  Thanks to this and several other very useful responses, I now know 
that measuring the light *hitting the page* or the light *hitting the eye* are 
both illuminance measurements. If I wanted to measure the light *reflecting 
off the page* this would be an luminance measurement.  I now also know that 
if I want to use a silicon sensor to do the illuminance measurements that  I 
need to use a diffusing disc to provide cosine correction.

Luckily (for me, the engineer on the project) we are not concerned about the 
amount of  light that *hits the retina of the eye* or the amount of light 
that is *perceived by the person as reaching their eye* (brightness) - only 
the light that is incident on the plane the surface of the eye is on.  So, I 
plan to measure the light hitting the eye just by putting a small sensor 
behind their glasses directly over the eyelid for a second and taking 
the measurement.  

The trouble I am having now is finding a illuminance sensor (with a diffusing 
disk) small enough and thin enough to do this measurement.  Does anyone know 
of such a sensor that is made to work with a commercial light meter?

Thanks again!

Can anyone tell me what physical measurement the lumen (or lux or foot-candle)
is based on or referenced against, i.e. is it some number of photons per
second of a given wavelength, or a given amount of light/photon energy
(e.g. ergs/sec, watts, etc.), or what?

Publishes DMX-512 and it should cost something like $25.

OK,

I found my copy of the DMX-512 standard, here are some interesting facts.

5.0 DATA PROTOCOL

Data transitted shall be in asynchronous serial format. Dimmer level data
shall be transmitted sequentially, beginning with dimmer 1 and ending with the 
last implemented dimmer, up to a maximum of 512. Prior to the first level
transmitted, a RESET signal shall be transmitted followed by the NULL START
code. Valid dimmer levels shall be 0 to 255 decimal (00 to FF Hex)
representing dimmer control input levels of OFF to FULL in a linear relation-
ship. These numeric values shall not necessarily have any relationship to the 
actual dimmer output, which shall be determined within the dimmer itself.

5.0.1 RESET SIGNAL

The RESET signal shall consist of a BREAK lasting at least 88 usec (two frame
times). A BREAK shall be defined as a high-to-low transition followed by a 
low of at least 88 usec.  A BREAK f any duration exceeding 88 usec shall be
allowed. Multiple RESETS with no level information between shall be allowed.

5.0.2 NULL START CODE

The NULL START code shall be defined as a properly framed NULL character (all
zeros) following a RESET. The NULL START code is the data packet indentifier
which indentifies subsequent data as sequential dimmer level information.

6.0 DATA FORMAT
 
The data transmission format for each level transmited shall be as follows:

BIT POSITION		DESCRIPTION
     1                  Start Bit, Low or SPACE
 2 through 9		Dimmer level Data Bits, Least Significant Bit
			to Most Significant Bit Positive logic
   10, 11		Stop Bits, High or MARK
   Parity		Not Transmitted

7.0 DATA RATE

The data rate and associated timing shall be as follows:
Data Rate:		250 Kilobits per second
Bit Time:		4.0 microseconds
Frame Time:		44.0 microseconds
Maximum Update:		22.71 milliseconds
Rate for 512 dimmers	44.03 times per second
including RESET and START

purification using Rayox UV-Oxidation systems. The Rayox systems use high   
power (3o KW) ,high intensity UV-C output lamps to photolize H2O2 to   
produce hydroxyl radicals (OH) which initiate the rapid oxidation of   
waterborne contaminants. The high intensity of UV-C is also effective in   
destroying virus and bacteria in water.

Does anone out there have information (or pointers to information)
on how many people annually go through some kind of lighting training
courses, seminars or workshops?

I'm not talking about full-fledged academic programs but those shorter
courses such as those offered by manufacturers, utilities, and
societies like IESNA, CIE, NALMCO, etc. If no numbers are available
for number of people, are there figures for amounts of money spent on
these courses? Thanks for any help that anyone out there might have!

Pardon me if this group is inapporpriate for this topic. If so,
could someone point me to where I might find help.


I have a Spa with an ozone generation system for water purification.
This system uses an UV bulb (shaped much like standard flourescents (sp??)
but much smaller). This bulb fails after about 2 years. Is this normal?
The cost is about $100 to replace the bulb at the Spa dealer. I have
yet to find a better source such a specialty lighting supplier.
Does anyone know where I might find such bulbs?

Also, how do these work---electricallyr? In looking in the box there
are only 2 parts, the starter (what is a starter? a capacitor??) and
another object that looks like some sort of transformer (balast??)
with 2 leads. I observed the voltages with an Oscilloscope and the
inputs are AC, I don't remember the voltage but it was present.

I have been told that these parts can cause early failure of the
bulb. Is this true or is it just a scam for the service company to
make some money replacing a $2 starter for $35.

Thanks,
Camron

A candela is 1/60 the luminous intensity of a 1-cm^2 blackbody radiator 
at the temperature of the freezing point of platinum (about 2045 K).  
Consistent with this, a lumen is the luminous flux of  monochromatic 
radiation at 555 nm whose radiant flux is equal to 1/683 W.  I hope this 
helps.

Depending on your needs, I'd suggest a line-interactive uninterruptible

You'd use this at the load, not in the electrical service; probably be
limited to around 2000VA max.

To the person who inquired about sources for Genesys and Lumen Micro:

I purchased our copy of Genesys from the Lighting Concept Centre, 160 Pears
Ave., Suite 300, Toronto, Ont. Canada M5R 1T2, tel. 416-960-1400.  Price in
1992 was around $CAN500, but I think I heard that the price has come down
since.  The US supplier would be Lightolier (tel. 201-864-3000) in Secaucus
NJ.

Lumen Micro could be purchased from Lighting Technologies Inc, 2540 Frontier
Ave., Suite 107, Boulder, Colorado, USA 80301, tel. 303-449-5791.

I'd appreciate any knowledge that someone might care to
share with this non-engineer.
Are there any high pressure sodium lamps whose spectral
emission distribution approximates sunlight?
How would that compare with the SED of the metal halide
lamps that are normally employed in the retail trade?
What would be the relative efficiencies of MH, HPS and
fluorescent "daylight" bulbs?

This is for hobby purposes and I'm searching for reasonably
priced sources of "sunlight," ballasts and reflectors.

Thankyou,

Dave

Could anyone advise me on a suitable IR light source - that is invisible to
the naked eye.

This is for hidden camera with hidden light source surveillance.

Would like around the equivalent of a 100W light bulb i.e around 5W.
I think that LED's could be my best bet.

Cheers,

Peter.

Well, this is one area in which I can answer with authority.  I refer you
to Applied Optics, 32 (16), 2936-2948 (1993), "National Institute of
Standards and Technology detector-based photometric scale."  (I wrote
it.)  There's an even more detailed paper (which I also wrote) that is
going through the review process now for J. Res. NIST. -- expect it out
around the end of the year.

The platinum-point black body served in the definition for the candela
(and other photometric units, such as the lumen and lux) from 1948-1979. 
The answer above is out-of-date.

Since 1979, the definition reads, "The candela is the luminous intensity,
in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of
frequency 540x10**12 hertz and that has a radiant intensity in that
direction of (1/683) watt per steradian."

There are a lot of subtiltiles that this definition leaves out, like
converting frequency to wavelength, and luminous intensity at other
wavelengths.  These are mentioned and referenced in the Applied Optics
paper.

Okay.  What you *really* asked is what physical measurement the lumen is
based on or referenced against.  Since 1979, the answer has been:  any
that a national measurement laboratory wants.  The definition relates
photometric units to radiometric units (watts of light, perhaps with
geometric factors), but the watt is not an SI base unit (no wordy
definition).

At NIST, there are various calibrations and deliverables that we offer,
involving lamps, detectors, etc, for US (and other) laboratories that want
to reference their lumen (etc.) to the national standards.  One way or
another, each method relates back to our High-Accuracy Cryogenic
Radiometer (never let a computer expert choose an acronym).  This is a
device for measuring optical power (watts) by comparing the power to
electrical watts.  Both light and electricity are used to heat a receiving
cavity to the same temperature.  It follows that this happens when the
applied powers are the same.

So, it ends up that the standard lumen is based on the standard watt,
which is based on the standard ohm and the standard volt (P=V**2/R).  The
standard ohm is based on the quantum Hall effect, and the standard volt is
based on the Josephson junction.  And so it goes.

(In case anyone is wondering, yes, we compare our candela and lumen to the
candela and lumen realized by other national laboratories around the
world.  While we have the freedom to choose our methods, there are a
continual stream of reality checks.)

I also sense in your question a more basic one:  what is a "lumen" in the
first place?  The lumen is the photometric analog to the watt.  If you
have light with a certain spectral density (watts of power per
wavelength), you integrate this function against a pre-defined weighting
function (the CIE "Visability" function) to compute the lumens of the
light.

I hope this helped.

John,

Palisades Institute handles the SID conference registration and

Does anyone know of suppliers of the extruded metal cases used in

are all custom manufactured because they all look alike, especially in
the lower end systems.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

I am designing an EEG suite for a neurologist at a hospital.  He is
very concerned about interference from fluorescent lights, VDTs, etc.
which can ruin a sensitive EEG test.  He recommends shielding
the entire room with copper mesh.  Has anyone done lighting design
for a similar EMF sensitive application?  What kind of lights did you
use?  What shielding materials work well?

There is a new 32W PL-T lamp available by one of the manufacturers
that has a good lumen output of 0 degrees.  Otherwise, it is a bad
idea.  Sure, the lamp will start (that's how they get away with saying
0 degree starting temp) but the lumen output is proportional to
temperature.  THAT is the curve you need to look at.

The ND filters are probably metal (inconel) deposited onto glass, so they
shouldn't be very sensitive to angle.  I would put the ND filter in front
and tilt it until the ghost image was out of the field of view.  The
interference filter will shift wavelength if it is tilted, so you probably
don't want to tilt that one.

Another choice might be to use absorption filters like Wratten #96 ND's
(available at fine camera stores).  They are good in the visible (400-700
nm) and show increased transmission in the near infared but might still be
usable in the 700-900 nm range.

You might also be able to replace the video camera lenses' iris with a large
pinhole then eliminate the ND filters altogether.  The iris diameter needed
can be calculated beforehand knowing area of the opening is proportional to
its light transmittance.  If the hole is small enough, it becomes a pinhole
camera and the lens (which could also be causing ghost images) can be removed.

Good Luck

Max, Hewlett Packard make some high intensity LEDs.  I believe that they
are about 15 candela.  A couple years ago they were advertising them
by providing a small pocket flashlight made from a single diode.  I don't
know if that will serve your purpose but it is worth looking at.

On the topic of red, green or blue exit signs, the International
Standards Organization designates red to be the warning color for
danger, and green to be the color of safety.  The tendency to
follow red lights in an emergency is an exclusively North
American response: the rest of the world goes for green.

It may be added that for ISO signs, "EXIT" is giving way to
pictograms to avoid language difference problems, and two distinct
types of signs are used.  For low-adaptation locations, such as
auditoria, the characters are green on a black background, and
otherwise they are white on a green background.  Either way, the
intention is that where smoke reduces the visibility of the
characters, a "green blob" effect will prevail.

We are planning to do studies on the effects of daylight on glare
conditions in office rooms. The idea is to gather data on daylight glare
conditions in typical office work conditions by luminance measurements and
by subjective assessments and glare control by subjects.

I would like to hear of studies on the effects of daylight  on glare in
indoor lighting. Comments on the methods to collect data on glare
conditions  caused by direct and reflected sunlight and diffuse sky are
appreciated.

The Daylight Glare Index (derived from Cornell large source glare formula)
considers glare from the sky, not direct sunlight. Does anyone know of
other methods to evaluate glare caused by daylight than the DGI ?

In some studies on daylight glare the subjects have been seated facing the
window while staring out of the window and assessing the discomfort. I
would like to hear comments on the applicability of these results into more
typical office work conditions (windows on the side wall, people performing
visual tasks).

Any good references on the subject (daylight glare, subjective assessments
of glare caused by windows etc.) are wellcome.

I don't have a very high opinion of specular reflectors and I wouldn't mess
to much with the inside light levels in this case if they are happy with it.
On option off the top of my head would be to wall-wash the glass window from
the inside.  I don't know what kind of results you would get but any local
manufacturer's rep that wants to make a sale should be willing to do a
mock-up for you.  The idea would be to light the inside of the glass to a
fairly high intensity, so the interior would seem brighter.  Again, I don't
know what kind of material your working with.  I would like at (depending on
the interior) a wall-wash compact fluorescent downlight or a linear
flourescent mounted from the ceiling.

Just some ideas.

that dimmers for incandescent lamps won't work, but that some special

Clay,

Is it possible that with "scotopically enriched" light sources such as
metal halide one runs the risk of increased transient adaptation problems?
 And what about glare?  Is not glare from metal halide worse than HPS for
equivalent luminances?  Even though metal halide has good color rendering,
it often strikes me as being a bit "harsh".  Perhaps that is because often
when metal halide is used, the light levels are too high.  Then there are
the issues of shorter life, lower efficiency, higher cost, color-shift,
greater lumen-depreciation, etc. when compared with HPS.

We astronomers learned a long time ago that if you want to see well at
night, you use light sources that produce little or no light towards the
blue end of the spectrum (minimizing the effect on your rods, e.g.
bleaching of rhodopsin).  Thus, we prefer red LED flashlights.  Now, I'm
not advocating anything that red for roadway lighting, but it seems to me
that HPS and LPS are just fine.  It seems to me that the primary argument
for metal halide is its improved color rendering and "white" appearance. 
But I don't believe that "improved color rendering" is an important
consideration for roadway lighting, especially when you consider that all
motor vehicles come with their own white light sources, called headlights.

You need a special dimming ballast in the fixtures in addition to a special
dimmer.  The technology has gotten a lot better over the past 6 months to a
year.  The only thing that is keeping it from going mainstream on a regular
basis (at least from a designers perspective) is the $.  It is still a
pretty good adder to go to a dimming fluorescent fixture.

Hi Everyone,

I received a call from someone yesterday who is working with the
lighting in a single-story office building.  The business is
illuminated with deep cell parabolics or possibly even egg-crate
louvers.  Recently, to cut down on solar gains, the company
applied a heavy tint to the windows.  Now, from the exterior, the
luminance of the luminaires is so low that the combination of
this and the tint make the office appear closed during the day.
My initial reaction was to tell her to add some luminance to the
space: wall sconces with a high luminance or possibly even a neon
OPEN sign, but something to allow a passer by to see that the
office is open.  This is not the first instance I've heard of
this type of problem.  I heard of a supermarket that added
specular reflectors to strip fixtures and created the same
"Closed Illusion".  They ended up cutting slits in the specular
reflectors so that the bare lamps were visible from the exterior
(and it worked).  There are probably more window film
manufacturers out there than there are reflector manufacturers.
Is this becoming a common problem, or are these just isolated
incidents?  Have any of you successfully solved these same type
problems?

Thanks,

Gregg Mackell

Camron,	The type of lamp that you are using requires two pieces of 
supplemental equipment.  These are a starter and a ballast as you 
mentioned.  The ballast provides the lamp with the proper voltage under
steady state condtions (i.e. once the lamp has ignited).  The ballast
also limits the current which is provided to the lamp.  You see as
the lamp ignites it changes from a high impedance load to a low impedance
load.  If the current is not limited, the ballast and the lamp will burn
out.  Thus if the ballast is letting too much current reach the lamp
it could be causing the lamp to burn out too early in it's life.  Note
that I am not saying that this is the problem, just that this is what your
"service" person was refering to.  As I said, the ballast provides the
proper voltage for steady state operation.  The lamp however, requires 
a much higher voltage to initially ignite.  The ballast is not capable
of providing this voltage.  This is where the starter comes into play.
The starter will provide a high voltage pulse until the lamp ignites and
then (usually) will disengage itself from the circuit once the lamp has
been ignited.  Hope this clears up any problems.

Jeffrey, there was a really well written article in the February issue
of WIRED magazine ( a delightful mag BTW).  It gave insight into the 
possible ramifications of the emergence of the blue LED on the lighting
industry.  Note: I think it was the February issue, if you can't locate it
in that issue, E-mail me and I'll look in my archive.

A few days ago, Jeff Sani of Ledalite asked for information about blue
light-emitting diodes. The ensuing discussion gravitated towards exit
sign colors, leaving some of his questions unanswered.

While you may not see blue LEDs in commercial products, they do exist.
In December 1993, Nichia Chemical Company (Japan) announced the develop-
ment of a high-efficiency blue LED. At 3.6 lumens per watt, it is 100
times more efficient than previously available products. The peak wave-
length is 450 nm.

In June 1994, Eagle-Picher Industries (Miami, OK) and North Carolina
State University (Raleigh, NC) announced the development of a blue LED
with a peak wavelength of 489 nm and 1.7 lumens per watt.

To put these developments into perspective, lumen/watt ratings for
other state-of-the-art LED designs are 8.0 lm/W (red @ 650 nm),
20 lm/W (yellow @ 585 nm) and 18.0 lm/W (green @ 512 nm).

Those interested in further details (including references) should read:

Cook, J. W. Jr., and J. F. Schetzina. 1995. "Blue-Green Light-Emitting
Diodes Promise Full-Color Displays," Laser Focus World 31(3):101-104
(March).

On a related issue, there are electroluminescent organic emissive
films. Unlike light-emitting diodes that require expensive semicon-
ductor manufacturing techniques, these organic light-emitting devices
(OLEDs, first demonstrated in 1987) are cheap and easy to manufacture
using vapor deposition or spin coating techniques. Red, green, blue,
yellow and white OLEDs have been fabricated.

Again, those interested in further details should read:

Forrest, S. R., P. E. Burrows, and M. E. Thompson. 1995. "Organic
Emitters Promise a New Generation of Displays," Laser Focus World
31(2):99-107 (February).

While it is unlikely that these devices will replace conventional
fluorescent-tube technology in architectural lighting applications,
the same was said of fluorescent versus incandescent lamp technology
when the first fluorescent lamps were still laboratory curiosities.
Rather than saying "man will never fly," we should at least keep
abreast of the limits of lighting research as we do our everyday
work in lighting design.

So why did Jeff Sani post his questions to the 'net rather than ask
me? Well, I was on holidays ... ;^)

I just wanted to check in again on the great roadway light source debate.  I
would like to hear from those involved in roadway lighting around the U.S. as
to what source you currently prefer and why - Metal Halide or High Pressure
Sodium?  What is actually being installed in your area?  What trend do you
see for the future?

Here in Kansas it's quite a mixed bag.  I am doing an investigation for the
Kansas Department of Transportation to survey what they currently have,
assess how it's performing, and make recommendations for the future.  My task
is limited to the Interstate system.  On the Interstates we have primarily
Metal Halide, high mast lighting, but there's a fair amount of HPS too, as
well as the occasional left-over Mercury Vapor. There is currently no
well-defined policy regarding new installations or future direction (hence
the reason for the study).

At this point we will probably be recommending that all future roadway
lighting be Metal Halide, and that existing HPS be retrofit to MH as ballasts
fail.  This is based on what we see as two emerging areas of consensus.  1)
"Scotopically enriched" light sources (i.e. more power in the blue/green part
of the spectrum) produce better visibility at low light levels.  Thus on an
equal lumen basis (since the lumen is defined by V lambda - photopic vision)
sources like Metal Halide will provide more visibility than High Pressure
Sodium.  2) People simply prefer whiter light as we found in another study
which I hope to present to IESNA in August (regarding a telephone survey of
streetlighting users in Kansas City).

Now of course the first argument could be overturned if the economics were so
greatly in favor of HPS that we could provide equal visibility (taking into
consideration the scotopic effect) with HPS at lower cost than with MH.  In
other words, (taking a purely fictitious example) if it took twice as many
lumens to produce a given level of visibility with HPS as with MH, but it
only cost 40% as much per lumen to install, generate, and maintain the HPS
system, then HPS would still be more economical.  This does not seem to be
the case, but even if it were, we would still have the second argument to
deal with.  How much is people's preference worth, anyway?  (A topic I've
advanced some thoughts on before, as some of you know).

Anyway, I just wanted to see what directions others might be headed on
this issue.

I just wanted to check in again on the great roadway light source debate.  I
would like to hear from those involved in roadway lighting around the U.S. as
to what source you currently prefer and why - Metal Halide or High Pressure
Sodium?  What is actually being installed in your area?  What trend do you
see for the future?

Here in Kansas it's quite a mixed bag.  I am doing an investigation for the
Kansas Department of Transportation to survey what they currently have,
assess how it's performing, and make recommendations for the future.  My task
is limited to the Interstate system.  On the Interstates we have primarily
Metal Halide, high mast lighting, but there's a fair amount of HPS too, as
well as the occasional left-over Mercury Vapor. There is currently no
well-defined policy regarding new installations or future direction (hence
the reason for the study).

At this point we will probably be recommending that all future roadway
lighting be Metal Halide, and that existing HPS be retrofit to MH as ballasts
fail.  This is based on what we see as two emerging areas of concensus.  1)
"Scotopically enriched" light sources (i.e. more power in the blue/green part
of the spectrum) produce better visibility at low light levels.  Thus on an
equal lumen basis (since the lumen is defined by V lambda - photopic vision)
sources like Metal Halide will provide more visibility than High Pressure
Sodium.  2) People simply prefer whiter light as we found in another study
which I hope to present to IESNA in August (regarding a telephone survey of
streetlighting users in Kansas City).

Now of course the first argument could be overturned if the economics were so
greatly in favor of HPS that we could provide equal visibility (taking into
consideration the scotopic effect) with HPS at lower cost than with MH.  In
other words, (taking a purely ficticious example) if it took twice as many
lumens to produce a given level of visibility with HPS as with MH, but it
only cost 40% as much per lumen to install, generate, and maintain the HPS
system, then HPS would still be more economical.  This does not seem to be
the case, but even if it were, we would still have the second argument to
deal with.  How much is people's preference worth, anyway?  (A topic I've
advanced some thoughts on before, as some of you know).

Anyway, I just wanted to see what directions others might be headed on
this issue.

You sould be able to buy replacement lamps from any electrical
wholesaler.  Get the lamp number off the lamp and call all the
wolesalers in your area.  You might be forced to buy a case, but they
should be much cheaper then $100.00 each.  The ballast and starter may
also be purchased at your wholesaler.  I believe that the ballast and
starter are just standard fluorescent lamp products.  Nothing special
about them.

Interesting comments about EXIT signs...Red vs. Green.

Here in Denver Colorado, the building department has 
determined that Green Exit signs shall be used...
greater visability in smoke filled rooms.

This is in direct opposition to all the surrounding
counties which still require the signs to be Red.

Of course, none of the local electrical supply houses
stock the Green ones...special order only.

I am interested in getting advice or comments on the following engineering
problem.  Two electrical contacts are housed in a stainless steel
housing.  In some cases the housing is grounded and the contacts are at
something like +/- 150 volts.  After laser welding the housing shut it is
back-filled with Nitrogen & Helium trace (for leak detection).  In field
service, arcing occurs between the contacts and the housing.

Is there anything thing to consider that would suggest a different
back-fill gas if we wanted to stay with the SS?

Is it possible that the back-fill gas is getting ionized before or during
the back-fill process?

If anyone has had this problem and solved it we would be interested in
hearing your approach.

I have been doing research for myself on this very topic and am very new
to the internet.  I am thrilled to see this message posted.  The question
I had was concerning dimming fluorescents with Radio Shack's Plug and
Power incandescant dimming module.  If you're not familiar with this
product, basically it uses a control center which sends a RF signal
through the existing wiring in the room/house which gets terminated at the
transformer outside the building.  I contacted Luitron, Inc. (610)282-3800
and spoke with Jim.  To my knowledge one can use a basic incandescant
dimmer with the electronic dimming ballast, if I'm wrong please correct
me.  If not will the magnetic work with a standard dimmer?  I have used
the incandescant dimming module with my 4 foot fluorescant fixture as an
experiment and found if I simply connected an incandescant light in
parallel with the fluorescent (standard ballast), it dimmed down to a
certain point then shut off.  My point is I was able to keep the circuit
hot, or at least jump start the fluorescant in this way.  So what I must
know is in order to take the incandescant out of the loop, do I need a
magnetic or can I use the electronic dimming ballast?  Of course price is
also a consideration being that the magnetic runs about $60 and the
electronic about twice that.   Thank you for you time

I'm looking for some feedback on some specifications on strobe lights. 
Their intended use will be to provide visual tracking of rockets upto 
a distance of 500 km.  I have the required environmental specs in mind,
but need help in specifying some illumination requirements.  The only
lighting specs I have available to reference is a 40 Joules/flash energy 
rate and a flash rate of 1 per second.  This corresponds to a 40 watt emission.
Do i then need to consider the efficacy (lumens/watt) of my lamp source? 
>From  this i would be able to determine the amount of light being emmitted 
but how can i find out if this amout of lumens will meet my visibility 
requirements of 500 km?  Is there some type of distance, visibility, and light

appreciate any help and advice on how to persue this.

It seems to me that the high pressure sodium lamps are better for road

The low pressure sodium lamps although they preduce more light, it is much 
harder to get this light where it is needed, and keep low glare for good 
visual ability.  In times past these low pressure lamps were in common use, 
but once it was realised that better road lighting can be got from high

in New Zealand.

Mercury vapour lamps are used in some urban areas where shopping areas 
require better colour rendering than is possible with sodium lamps.

I would have to disagree with Ian assessment of the impact of blue LEDs
on the lighting industry.  Red LEDs have been making tremedous in-roads
into the automotive industry in such places as turning lights and 
brakelights.  As these types of applications increase we should see a 
marked increase in the candela output of such LED devices.  Furthermore, 
with the emergence of blue LEDs (blue+red+green makes white I believe) we 
will probably see a "white" LED within the next five years.  This source of
white light has the potential to be very small compared to traditional
incandescent and fluorescent lighting not to mention much more efficient.
As with red and green LEDs, once the big boys in compact disk and CD ROM 
players get into the game, not to mention the auto industry, I think we 
"see" realistic white LEDs emerging in the market place within 10-15
years.  Comments?

Lawrence,  I believe that what this neurologist is concerned with is not
fluorescent lamps but electronics fluorescent ballasts.  Magnetic 
fluorescent ballast operate at 60Hz, but the electronic version operate
at anywhere from 25kHz (first generation) to 50kHz (newer versions).  This
can cause two problems.  The first is that the ballast itself can emit
RFI which can interfere with other electronics.  The second is that the 
lamp is strobing UV at high frequency.  This has recently been investigated
with the new higher frequency ballast as the UV emmisions from the lamp
have been known to interfere with devices such as IR garage openers, etc.
If he is concerned about VDTs, I would assume that the EEG equipment that 
he is using may be susceptible to lamp UV emmisions as well (you need to
check into this - it may not be a concern if the frequency of the ballast
and the equipment do not match).  If this is a problem, though, then 
shielding with copper will not likely help (with the UV problem - it may
with the RFI problem).  If electronic ballasts are a problem try reverting
to magnetic ballast.  The only problem with them is that flicker can be 
noticeable due to the fact that they are only strobing at 120 Hz (2xoperating
frequency).  Hope this helped.

In response to the question about making a building with window film
look "open", I would not suggest washing the inside of the glass
with light.  What makes an interior space look open is surface
luminance, and that means washing walls, ceilings, and vertical
surfaces with light.  Make sure the finishes are light in color,
then add some light to the surface through wallwashing, uplighting,
wall sconces, valances, pendants, etc. etc.  What won't work is
low-brightness downlights or recessed parabolics located so that
their light doesn't strike any vertical surfaces.

Washing the glass will not achieve surface brightness. Your watts
are better spent on the walls and ceiling.

In response to Michael Shapiro's question on fluorescent dimming, I have
had the best success with Lutron's HiLume system.  It uses an electronic
dimming ballast that permits dimming down to 1% of full output.  For
conference rooms and auditoria, this is a wonderfully useful feature.  It
must be used with their own dimming controls, as far as I know.  There is
a special additional wire or two that must be run between the control and
the HiLume ballast, so you can't just retrofit an existing incandescent
dimming installation.

Lutron has come out with a bunch of new fluorescent dimming products.  They
can dim the standard length T8, T12, HO lamps, as well as some odd-ball
lengths, too.  They also have a system for a few of the compact fluorescent
lamps.  I believe they also have a dimming controller that will dim the
Advance and Motorola dimming ballasts, but these only go down as low as
5 or 10% light output, which is frequently not low enough for slide
presentations or theatrical productions or video presentations.

I have seen Prescolite's CF dimming, but have no personal experience with
it yet.

I have personal experience with fluorescent dimming using magnetic ballasts.
It's a minor nightmare unless installation of lamps and ballasts and
aging of lamps is done perfectly.  Also, you can't mix lamp lengths success-
fully.  Oh, and it's noisy and usually doesn't dim below 30% light output.
It's worth the extra bucks to go with electronic dimming ballasts.Ã

Lightolier has many new dimming products for compact and full-size fluorescent.
Has anyone had experience with those products?

Does anyone out there have any information on dichroic filters?

I am also looking for a supplier of dichroic glass, preferably in the
UK.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for material concerning the art of making neon signs,
sculptures, etc.  I used to have an information packet which I paid for
many years back which talked about different methods used to create them
and also tools needed for setting up a shop.  This info packet was found
in Popular Science almost 9 years ago.  If anyone has any knowledge on
this info. packet or anything else which could be of use, please post it,
I would appreciate it very much.  Thank you.

Hello, my name is Mike Parker, and I am addicted to the Internet,  AND I
LIKE IT :)

I apologize in advance if I am off here since this is my 1st time 
viewing this group and post.  Trying to decipher the above response 
(didn't see orig post), however for every 3.2 watt reduction of lighting 
( I assume your refering to incandescent) you btuh reduction would be 10.92.
There is no corelation between the weather bin data and building that 
effect light watts.  One watt = 3.413 btuh.

To reduce the sensible heat load one ton on the HVAC for lighting 
purposes, a reduction of 3,516 watts would be required.

Instant start ballasts use a jumper wire installed in the lamp socket to
short out the cathode and basically jump start the lamp.  This works very
well and does not significantly affect lamp life unless the fixtures are
switched on and off frequently.  Multi-lamp ballasts of this type are
wired in parallel, whereas rapid start multi-lamp ballasts are wired in
series.

    ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN CONSTRUCTION

A new peer-reviewed, aperiodic journal called the Electronic Journal
of Information Technologies in Construction will be available later
this year. Scheduled to begin publishing in August 1995, ITcon will
provide a new medium for researchers for the information technology
applications in the construction industry. 

With short lead times ITcon will assist the rapid diffusion of
research results. It is the first electronic journal for 
construction addressing specifically the domain of IT.

articles from industry and software developers, such as those
presenting new capabilities being incorporated into software
products, or how companies are applying state-of-the-art IT solutions
to design and construction practice.

A special section of the journal will encourage scholarly
discussions as a two-way communication between the commentator and
the author of the original article.

Hi everybody on Internet:

 I has a quit silly question, that is How many kinds of UV LIght?
and how does it work? 
 I want to take that to deal with photochemical, but I cannot really
know what's kind can take effect.
 I do wish somebody can help me.  thanks

My personal preference has to be Metal Halide.

Here in Calgary (Alberta, Canada) most roadway lighting is HPS.  A few MH 
units have been installed, presumably during relamping and as a test, and the
results are a dramatic improvement in the quality of the roadway lighting - and
hence improved roadway safety.  My opinion is that the HPS units can't be changed
out fast enough.

I prefer MH over HPS because: MH enables one to see details easily;  MH doesn't
"wash out" the illumination of the roadway by ones vehicle headlights (as does
HPS);  and MH provides a more natural spectral output (man's eyes are not that 
sensitive to that dull orange light !).

My current client has expressed a preference to MH over HPS for all lighting in their
new plant.  They are not alone in their preference.

As an aside; there are still a few old mercury lights in the city - I just love them.

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone could help me with positioning light sensors. 

I don't know if there is any literature on this issue, but if there is
please let me know. 

The light sensors are going to be used for dimming. I think we can't
mount them somewhere on the workplane because they will be obstructed
with passign shadows, etc. However, do you think it is reasonable to
mount light sensors on a ceiling structure and calibrate it accordingly? 

If you have any sources that you can direct me to or any ideas, please
send me an email. 

Thanks!

The Lutron Eco-10 (10%) and Hi-lume (1%) Fluorescent Dimmng ballasts CAN
NOT BE controlled with a regular incandescent dimmer.  They operate on a
phase control method which employs the use of an additional 3rd wire.  You
have hot, dimmed hot, and neutral.  The new LightOLier ballast uses a 3
wire configuration as well.  However, it uses a pulse modulated control
method which does not make it interchangable with Lutron controls.

Also - Advance and Motorola have 4-wire systems.  Hot, neutral and 2 for
the 0-10 volt signal.  In most cases people feel it is easier to retrofit
these ballasts. Not alway true.  Example - In Chicago you need to run
conduit for the high and low voltage wires.  This could make the retrofit
for 0-10 volt ballasts more expensive.  Pulling a third wire through the
wall is a pain too.

Also if you hook up a Lutron or LightOlier ballast incorrectly - it just
doesn't work.

If you hook up the Advance or Motorola ballast incorrectly - you can blow
up the entire circuit of ballasts.  (It does happen)

Lutron ballast cost more than the Advance or Motorola.  In the past these
dimming ballasts were very specialty items and produced in small
quantities.  Now with the Eco-10, the price of the ballast has fallen by
50%.  I expect the price of the Hi-lume will fall as the volumes and
technology improves.  

Regardless of what ballast you use - as power costs exceed 8 cents per kWh
in your service area, and you have ample daylight, the use of daylight
sensors and dimming ballasts is an economically good idea.  First costs
are higher of course. Dimming ballasts have more components than fixed
output ballasts.

I'd like to see a company make a decorative IR control that sits on a
persons desk that incorporates a daylight sensor and manual dimming.  The
fixtures above that persons area would be constantly changing with the
available light - and the person could manually adjust the lighting lower
to get a better lighting environment when the needed to do computer work.

I had seen a book in a bookstore many years back showing things that were
invented by accident.  I don't remember the term used to describe these
accidental discoveries, but this was the name of the book; I believe it
starts with an S.  Anyway, this particular lightbulb supposedly makes the
room darker by actually producing darkness.  There also was talk about a
coating put on some bulbs to absorb infrared lightwaves which would allow
application for refrigeration; problem being, the bulbs would frost over
thus disallowing absorption of the infrared light.  Any info on these
topics would be greatly appreciated.  -- The internet is a river and my

I disagree that this will not work.  While I agree that surface illuminance
is important (thus the reason indirect works well), I don't believe it is
the ONLY solution.  Light transmission through glass is a bi-directional
phenomenon.  You can use daylight harvesting to add to the illuminance in an
interior space, thus you can also use light from the interior to add to the
illuminance of an exterior space.  GRANTED this is a waste of energy....who
wants to light the outside?  But in this case, that is the effect desired.
You may not necessarily want to actually LIGHT the outside but you DO want
light from the interior to be transmitted through the glass.  People from
the outside will see this light transmitted from the interior, just like you
can sense daylight through a windows.  From a street or sidewalk, interior
surface illuminance will not have an intensity high enough to be noticed

Dichroic filters are a color filter with a glass base and a chemical color
medium coated on one side. 

Contact Dennis Farley at Bandit Lites (615) 675-0880. He can tell you more
about them. I Know that they can be ordered in almost any color and custom

Software to Automatically Administer Questionnaires
on Computer Screens

The National Research Council of Canada has developed new
patent-pending software to automatically administer on-screen
questionnaires to computer users.  We would like to know whether
a market exists for this software.  Please read the software
description below and reply to us directly by email if you are
interested.  Thanks in advance.

The traditional method of obtaining questionnaire data uses a paper
form that each respondent completes at their leisure.  This has
obvious practical limitations if one is interested in surveying
opinion several times in one day, or if it was important to
administer a questionnaire in response to some specific random
enviromental condition (e.g. the office suddenly becomes cold).
In general, paper questionnaires can be disruptive to respondents,
and labour intensive and expensive to administer and score.
A computer-based questionnaire would solve many of these problems,
and be a very efficient and economical method of collecting survey
data.

The National Research Council Canada has developed custom software,
called "ScreenSurvey", which automatically administers questionnaires
on computer users screens.  When administered, the questionnaire
takes the form of a "window" that appears over other open
applications.  The individual questions are designed using custom
"Form Builder" software.  The Form Builder allows complete flexibility
in the placing of items on the question forms, their size and their
colour.  Graphics can also be placed on the forms to illustrate
a question, or as a custom background.  Questions can have one of
four response types:

1. A list of responses from which the subject may pick only one
(mutually exclusive and exhaustive response list);
2. A list of responses from which the subject may pick as many as
apply (check list);
3. A sliding scale labelled with descriptors: the subject places
a pointer on the scale at a position which best describes their
response (analogue scale);
4. Open-ended text entry box.

More than one of these response types can be combined on a single
question form.

Once created, the questions can be administered in any order,
at dates and times as specified by the experimenter in a separate
data file.  Alternatively, computer users themselves can initiate
a questionnaire whenever they want, simply by clicking on an icon.
Any number of questions may be asked with any frequency.  In addition
certain questions can be defined as "demographic" questions,
which are asked only once; these are questions for which the answers
would not be expected to change over time.  The answers to the
demographic questions can be used to decide which questions are
subsequently asked.  For example, if a user identifies themselves
as being female, they would not subsequently be asked to complete
a checklist of clothing that applied to males, but instead would be
asked to complete a checklist that applied to females.  This feature
can also be used to present questions in a user's language of choice.

The responses to the questions are stored on the host computers
hard disk for collection at the end of the study by the experimenter.  The stored data are easily accessible by spreadsheet or statistical analysis packages.

If you are interested in this software, or have any comments,
please respond to us directly by email at the above address.  If
you know someone who might be interested but does not read Usenet,
we would appreciate it if you would forward a copy of this message
to them.  Thank you for your time.

Jeffrey-

The idea of using blue LED's for exit lighting seems to me to be quite 
unrealistic. Blue LED's are extremely expensive (as if LED retrofit kits 
and LED exit signs aren't expensive enough) and they are very dim. To 
make an exit sign bright enough with a blue LED system, it would seem to 
me to be astonomical price wise since it would require many more 
ultrabright blue LED's than the standard LED exit sign (red or green). I 
may be wrong but my company offers blue LED's (ten time the price of 
standard colors) and nobody orders them due to the difficulty of the eye 
detecting whether it is lit up or not. Perhaps in a dark, smokey room it 
would appear more visible, however I doubt it.

If you are using a lens with a reasonably narrow field of view, you
could tilt one or more of your filters at 45 degrees to the lens axis.
The reflected light can then be directed to a light trap rather than
back into the filter in front of it. Of course, this requires a larger
filter to prevent vignetting. (If you have a 90-degree wide-angle lens,
forget it -- the filter would have to be infinitely long!)

As for an efficient light trap, the ideal device is apparently a glass
tube shaped like a cow's horn that is painted matte black on the inside.
In fact, I recall reading a paper on the topic -- the best performance
the researcher's obtained was from a cow horn painted matte black.

I have always wanted to submit a purchase requisition for ten thousand
cow horns and a gallon of matte black paint to line the walls of my
photometric laboratory. It may not work, but it would be fun to see
what Purchasing would do with the request!

In answer to the following search on electrodless lamps:
Any of the five noble gasses can be excited with a small Tesla Coil when
introduced into a vacuum tube. Some of the earliest luminous tubes used
carbon dioxide as a filling gas. However, sticking with a nobel gas will
yield a longer life.
I have succesfully illuminated neon and argon filled tubs in a microwave.
The hardest part is creating a pure enviorment for the nobel gas.
Traditional bombarding techniques have to be put aside and oven annealing
needs to be employed. Ask a local sign shop supplier for a high frequency
leak detector and you will get a small and commercially safe Tesla
Coil.For more info contact me. Ono...ono....

Try Phillips SL-18 compacts.  They operated well in freezing temps and
come up to full brightness in just a few minutes.  

The tubes are enclosed in a plastic globe which allows them to heat up
even when temperatures are below freezing.

They use 20 watts and are equivilent to a 60 watt incd.

If your lights are recessed they make the same light in a floodlight
housing.

I have had one outside my house in New England for 6 years burning over 5
hours each night and never had a problem in the cold weather.

If your fixture won't fit either of the Phillips lights you could try an
RS35-13WQ from INCON IND. which is a screw in retrofit utillizing a 13
watt quad bulb.

Their toll free number is 1-800-393-5630

Hope this helps

REPLY REGARDING DESIGN OF EEG ROOM FOR DOCTOR:

GE has a fiber optic XENON lamp system that will solve your problem.  Their
tech person told me that your application  and jewelry store display cases
(for security) are two of the main applications currently for the product.
 The auto industry is looking very closely along with 3M and others at fiber
optic lighting - this may  bring the prices down.

GE Contact: Scott Mangum @ 216-266-3836.  He wrote a 20 page brochure about
the product.

12vdc ballasts are becoming more available as fluorescent sources work
their way into more automotive and aircraft applications.  In all cases
the lamps are operated on inverter ballasts which convert the 12vdc into
high frequency ac.  These ballasts are available from Osram/Sylvania for
the 7 and 9 watt cfls.  Specify the Accutronic AT7-9/12.  Iota Engineering
also makes several types of 12vdc ballasts for cfls.  In a pinch,
emergency ballasts such as those made by Bodine can be used to operate
cfls, but the output may be reduced.

Regarding your arcing problem, it would be clear to anyone who has done
any TIG welding what your problem is...unfortunately you didn't mention
what the distance between contacts is or whether you were operating ac or
dc current. In any case, it would appear that you have created a nearly
optimal environment to strike an arc,ie:  a (grounded?) conductive
enclosure filled with inert gas, containing exposed contacts operating at
sufficient voltage to strike an arc.  Under these conditions, I would
probably recommend in insulating material be positioned between the
contacts and between the contacts and the housing.  Silicone rubber would
be good or Nomex or possibly even Mica.  This way you can retain your
inert gas fill.  Good Luck.

What is the "average" cost of these units?  In the aquarium world, a
company called IceCap produces a unit which accepts up to VHO bulbs and
has a dimming capacity.  Cost for 4 bulb unit is about $160-180.  It's
nice in that you can mix standard, HO and VHO bulbs.

I'm very interested in these ballasts for aquarium and terrarium use... it
scares the hell out of the wild life when the "sun" goes off all at once. 
Are they avaliable from my local electrical/lighting distributor?

Also, I would want to connect the dimmer wire to a microprocessor, either
directly or thru an interface circuit.  I get the impression that the
companies want to sell you a dimmer, but do some also publish the specs?

thanks!

I am working on an interesting lighting project.  I have a video camera and two lights.  I want to mount the lights on motors so that they will point wherever the camera "looks".

To make the matter more complicated, the camera and lights will be 3000m below the ocean surface.

Has anyone ever heard of a similar system?

I once saw a student project that did this.

They used an audio speakers to move the mirrors. One side of the
mirror was connected to a hinge. The other side of the mirror was connected to 
the cone of a speaker. With two mirror they were able to draw letters on
a screen. Of course the mechanical part if this problem is the easy part.
The control sircitry is the hard part

Why The Engineering Software Exchange?

Have you ever had to wear a multidisciplinary hat? 
What do you do if you are not familiar with a calculation
because it is not your discipline and you can not get help?
You turn to a computer program.  This is why I started
The Engineering Software Exchange in 1980.  Because
when you need help fast, where do you find programs in
other disciplines or your own discipline? 
Well, now there is a place, and that is ESE.
                
Hope you like our new site.

..Um...no....you cannna not do dat wit a speaker....

It's true you can make cool abstract patterns, but in order to create
images/lissagous patterns you need a set of galvenometers, which are
little solinoid/meter like things with mirrors mounted on the end.
With two of them you have x/y and you use that to move the beam
around.  Find a laser display catalog for more information. Else
fails, get a book, there are a lot of them out there.

I believe these lamps were discontinued by Panasonic although there may 
be some out there in circulation. Check it out. Philips line of Earth 
Lights (energy saving lamps series) are better I think. If you would like

I am working on an interesting lighting project.  I have a video camera and two lights.  I want to mount the lights on motors so that they will point wherever the camera "looks".

To make the matter more complicated, the camera and lights will be 3000m below the ocean surface.

Has anyone ever heard of a similar system?

The diesel locomotives extensively used in India are diesel-electric.
Now, India is a 3rd or 2nd world, that's another issue...

Lutron makes a very nice infrared remote control for use with their
dimming systems.  The Ranax remote dimming control is compatible with many
of their fluorescent dimming ballasts.

(Objective information follows)

    The IDA is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting quality
outdoor lighting and preserving the night sky.  Its premise is that the
night sky is intrinsically beautiful and worth preserving.  It also holds
that quality lighting is both safer (due to better light values and lower
glare), cheaper (due to more efficient lamps and less wasted light), and less
obtrusive.  The group was started by professional and amateur astronomers
but now includes many illumination professionals and members of the general
public.

    The IDA is a great source of information regarding outdoor illumination
and the effects of wasted light, glare, light trespass, and skyglow.  It is also
involved in setting community standards for lighting design and establishing
building codes and ordinances to enforce them.  The IDA sponsors occasional
meetings, a newsletter, an information database, and supports a WWW home
page at:

	http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/"graff/nelpag/ida/IDA1.HTML  (whew!)

(IDA member opinion follows)

    IDA is doing a lot of good work at making our communities safer and
more pleasant places to live.  That the public also supports these issues
is shown by the number of lighting suppliers and commercial developers
(particularly those trying to get approval to build near residential areas)
who are getting competitive advantage by providing and using quality
lighting systems.

   This may actually sound more involved than it is.  In practice this
means that lighting systems should be designed, not just installed.
They should be fully shielded to keep the light where it's wanted, timed
to provide light only when wanted, sized to use only as much as needed,
and selected to provide the appropriate color rendition.  The end result
is an illumination system with pleasing uniformity and color, little trespass
and glare, good visibility, and low lifetime costs.

   I would expect a lighting professional to be aware of these issues even
if their clients are not. I would hope that he/she would consider it a
professional's responsibility to incorporate them into his/her lighting
plans.

    You should support IDA.  The memberships are cheap, the information is
free.  They are some of the biggest supporters of professionally designed
lighting I can think of.  The also have lots of experience selling good
lighting systems to skeptical audiences (your potential clients!)

    (Disclosure.  I am a member of IDA and an amateur astronomer.  I
am not a lighting engineer and am not associated with any lighting
supplier, installer, or designer.)

I have seen several HPS lit churches, and none of them look "hellish".
I think the key feature is a quality luminaire. A good posttop is made
by McGraw Edison.  It is a cutoff, but looks like a traditional gas
light.  It is cataloged as a 50 watt unit, but I am sure a 35w would be
no trouble.  McGraw also makes the pole.

I just read Frank Ogden's "The Last Book You'll Ever Read", and I came
across a reference to how the Japanese are collecting sunlight with
Fresnel lenses that track the sun's movements, then the sunlight is
flitered to eliminate UV rays, and is subjected to a "light shift" which
removes the red part of the spectrum, allowing only pure sunlight to reach
the indoors.  He talks about how "they" can grow 15 foot high tomato
plants from a single seed that bears thousands of tomatos.  Science
fiction, or is this really possible?  Can anyone point me to some Internet
resources that will shed some more light (so to speak)?  Thanks.

Good thing I didn't say anything about how much I like LPS for many
outdoor applications!  Personally, I don't like full-spectrum white light
sources such as metal halide for most outdoor lighting applications
because of their  "harsh" appearance and their negative effect on dark
adaptation (rods are blue-sensitive).  Perhaps halogen is a little better
in this respect.

Exactly.  If you operate somewhere other than the intended voltage,
frequency, current, you might have parasitic capacitances, and magnetic
saturation to worry about, but those are not essential parts of the
intended function.

Very nice lighting is possible with electronic ballasts and
rare-earth phosphors in residential applications.  The only
limitation (aside from the skill of the designer) is that 
even compact fluorescents are not very compact sources compared to
tungsten, so you can't get as tightly controlled a beam.  But rarely
will you want that in a residential setting anyway.

Yes, IR interference is a possible problem, but if so change out the one
light that causes the problem.

Again, I don't have references handy, although the same electronics trade
journals will have lots of ads in them for backlights of various kinds.

The basic fiber-optic panel backlight is very similar to what you describe.
It starts with from one to 3 bundles of clear fibers, that are then spread
out to produce a flat layer of fibers.  This is sandwitched between a piece
of clear plex on the front and a piece of something else (probably reflective)
on the back.  You put lightbulbs near the ends of the fiber bundles, and the
result is an evenly distributed light over the panel area.  You put bright,
typically incandescent hallogen lamps at the bundle ends to illuminate the
panel.

A variation is a panel with all of the fibers terminated along the edge.
This kind is illuminated with a linear liight source, typically a flourescent
tube perhaps 4mm in diameter and 2, 4, 6, 9, or so inches long.

If you are doing this backlight as part of a costume, I recommend *against*
using electrolumenscent panel material, even though it is usually flexable.
Disney did this for one of their parades, and had problems with wire abraision
resulting in ocasional shocks to the actors, since this stuff runs on about
130V AC from an inverter.  They went to some form of fiber optic panel that
could be illuminated at a lower voltage.

I don't have any exact references on this, but you could try contacting
Walt Disney World Entertainment Division in Florida and see if you can
find someone willing to talk about their solution.

<sigh> Thanks for the vote of confidence :-). Actually, I've been an electrical
engineer for more than 20 years, and have enough high voltage work under my 
belt to have some chance of survival on this. The use of a neon sign 
transformer is common in certain homebrew electrical projects which tend to
get constructed by rule-of-thumb, rather than any real design. The engineer in
me says that there's gotta be a better way and I'm trying to find it.

Aw, c'mon Charlie; I'm looking for some information here. With all due respect,
you're just stating that information exists. I'm sure that there are some
decent numbers available on neon sign transformers, but they're hiding awfully
well from me. Even a couple of excellent technical libraries available to me 
have little more than vague information on the technical details of these
suckers. If you've got something concrete, I'd _really_ be interested 
in hearing what you've got to say. 

Parasitic capacitance will play a considerable part in my results, but I
didn't expect to find anything on that here, as folks using 'em for their
intended purpose are unlikely to need that information. I'm pretty sure I can
get some ballpark measurements on that, but if you have some numbers, I'd be
immensely grateful.

As far as saturation goes, the end use will have a 60 Hz transformer being 
driven at its usual 60 Hz. If there's any way to saturate one considering their 
internal current limiting, (say, with a capacitive load, just to toss out an 
idea) I'd once again be very glad to hear about it.

But my original question, which I guess I can ask again, involves the internal
magnetic shunt. While I've not had the best time finding a basic  analysis of 
a transformer with such a core, one fields text did start with a
transformer/magnetic circuit with a shunt. It then used one of those
"and-then-a-miracle-occurs" handwavings to end up with a model that 
involved the equivalent of series inductance. I'm interested in knowing wether
such a model is realistic for a neon sign transformer, even in its intended 
usage. (I'll deal with the more perverse usages of such a device later on).

I intend to take a lot of data on such a transformer in-situ, and will
be building and refining my own model of the beast, but right now, a little 
preliminary information on the things would be very helpful. I'm doing this 
at my own cost and on my own time, and any hints that would make the journey
a bit easier and less costly to traverse would be immensely appreciated.

Does anyone out there see these things as more than just a black box? (Yeah,
yeah, I've seen blue ones, too. :-)

with .88 ballast factor, and our 2 lamp rapid start operates at 62 watts.

Our four lamp instant start operates at 112watts, where a competiors 4 lamp
rapid starts operate at approx 120W. This could mean over $40 extra energy costs
over the life of the unit.  

If the lamps are turned on once in the morning and turned off at night, there
should be no difference in lamp life between the two starting methods.
If you are using occupancy detectors, you should use rapid start, since instant
starting should reduce lamp life by up to 25%.

Please me if you have any questions.  I hope that this helps.

A couple of years ago, I saw that a car company was thinking of 
backlighting a car's gauges with a single light bulb by branching optic 
fibers from _one_ lightbulb to the back of the gauges. My question is: 
could this engineering technique be done on a much larger scale and could 
fiber optic lighting 
be used as a primary source of light rather than just backlight? For 
instance, replacing 3 hallway lights with optic fibers branching from 
just one bulb? Could this be done and still retain light quality and 
_save money_?

That depends on what wavelength band of ultraviolet radiation you have in mind.
Most glasses will transmit reasonably well down to about 300 or 350 nm.
Fused silica (glass) is used for transmission down to about 200 nm.

I've had this problem with other sites, and the way I corrected it was to 
purge the cache files, where Netscape stores information to help it run

it'get the same error from then on.  Doing a "reload" is supposed to fix this

Most T-8 lamps are rated at an average life hours of 20,000 assuming 1 
start every three hours.  Your above statement for same lamp life is 
probably assuming 10-12 hr/start.  At 3hr/start, will using instant start 
electronic ballast result in a low average lamp life than the rated 20,000 
hours?

Will a 3hr/start cycle using rapid start electronic ballasts give you 
more than a 20,000 hour average lamp life?

Thanks for the help.

I have been having trouble with a fluorescent lamp that uses a
conventional glow tube starter.  It does not start in the dark!  I have
traced the problem back to the starter.

The routine was that I would buy a new starter, get it home, try it out. 
The new starter would work just fine.  The slow starting would then show
up again.  I am too embarassed to tell how long it took before I realized
that the hard starting ocurred only at night.  Of course, the new starter
was first tried during the day with no starting difficulty.

The starters, made or imported by Regent, have about 2mm holes in their
aluminum cases.  At first, I thought that the hole was to allow you to see
whether the glow tube turned on if you had trouble starting.  This hole
allows light into the case to illuminate the electrodes in the
thermostatic glow tube.  Photoelectrons are formed.  These electrons allow
the glow to get started. Letting the light in seems to be the real purpose
of the hole.

I did other tests to confirm the difficult start at night.  For example,
after a minute or so of not starting, I would shine a flashlight on the
starter.  The lamp started in about two seconds.  There never was a
starting problem during the day.

In the old days, there were no holes in the starter cases.  Maybe some
radioactive material was used to help things along.  I don't know.  Now,
if it is really dark, it looks like you have to wait for natural
radioactivity or a cosmic ray if you want your lamp to work.  It may also
be that the glow tubes receive more thorough processing than used to be
the case.  It might be that all sharp points and barnacles eliminate any
possibility that field emission starts the glow.

When I point these problems out to the vendors of starters, I get laughed
at.  I have not received much better treatment from the engineer at
Regent.

What has been the experience of others on this newsgroup?  Are there
brands other than Regent that do not have this problem?

I am new to this newsgroup so this problem may have been discussed before.
 In that case, please be easy on me.

Although I do not know how the effect was achieved, one possibility for
the first one is by current control.  In glow discharges, the area of the
glow is roughly proportional to the current.  It is only when the glow
covers the entire cathode, that additional current starts the transition
to arc discharge.

At 3 hours per start, the 20,000 hour T8 lamp should last 20,000 hours 
on a rpaid start circuit, and 15,000 hours on an instant start circuit.
This is the 25% lamp life reduction.  If the lamp is on 10-12 hours per day,
lamp life in both scenarios should reach 23-25,000 hours. and at 24 hours
per day, both should last to 30-32,000 hours.

Since 80-90% of all electronic ballasts sold for the rapid start T8 lamps
are instantstart, the lamp manufacturers are begining to improve their lamps
to operate better while being instant started.

There is ongoing research on the effects of lamp life when being started at
15 min or 30 min per start, which may replicate heavy use on occupancy detectors.
I have not seen the a final report on the subject. However, some have indicated 
that life may decrease to 10-12,000 hours on both starting scenario.

Let's hope we all have the sense to re-lamp well before these lamps reach 
"25-30,000 hrs."
I don't have a T8 mortality curve in front of me but I wish to make a 
point that when talking about real world lamps that far too few 
installations are re-lamping at the appropriate time to ensure that the 
original spec is met.
Let's stamp out the scourge of 'burnout-only" re-lamping!!!
Just a thought.

HI-Lux lamps are indeed Welch-Allyn products.  They are high intensity
metal halide lamps -- NOT COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS.  Efficiency is
about 55 Lumens/Watt, color temperature (not bulb temperature) is
5500K.  They have a 750 hour lamp and a brighter 300 hour lamp.  The
lamp needs some cooling considerations.

I was wondering if anyone could help me.  I was accessing a web site that
was handled by, I think, the lighting resource center.  It had information
on new lighting products coming onto the market.  I have tried to access
this site but it is no longer available.  Is it still operating but at a 
different site?  Has it been permanently closed?

I seem to recall a company which made a type of fibre optic lighting for 
HID ballasts.  I think that lamp/ballast were located remotely and that
light was transfered by fibre optics.  Anyone have information on this?

OK... I'll buy the resonant frequency as a potental creator of the oscillations
that produce the high frequencies.  What about the magnetic eddie current

Agreed.  I just have developed this "feel" thing for neon transformers after
working with them for 20 years. It is an area of neon that is most often
misunderstood.  Especially that I work with neon installations and associated
interference with audio and video systems.  I find that if the transformers are
loaded with less tubes ( higher current and lower voltage on the secondary )
then I have no problems.  Most of my repair work is from corona effects
destroying insulation and micro-arcs cracking the glass.  Usually from
overloaded systems.  Strangely, the transformer manufacturers recomend that
their transformers be loaded heavier than I load them.  In all this time I have
lost only a few and usually due to tubes that have failed and took the
transformer with it. Perhaps you can tell me how added capacitance in series
with the load ( from high voltage cable in conduit ) would affect these
resonances?

                           What is COLORING?

     EVERYTHING you see has been colored by nature, or by coloring
     specialists. Your interest may be casual -- you may just have a
     question for our experts, or you may have a continuing interest in
     these topics. There is no newsgroup for color yet, though there is
     an ongoing effort to form one, to be called sci.engr.color.

     IF you are one of the thousands of specialists, you may want to
     place a bookmark to our pages, and request E-Mail notice of
     significant updates to these pages. Or you may wish to subscribe
     to the COLORING List/Digest and take part in the discussions there.

     You may SUBSCRIBE to the E-Mail COLORING List/Digest or request a 
     SAMPLE DIGEST from COLOR@INFI.NET. Please give your name and write a
     few sentences about your special interest in color.

     If you have WWW access, see the COLORING Pages at

		http://www.infi.net/~color/.

   * The COLORING List and Pages are intended to serve people interested in
     the coloring of paints, plastics, fabrics, inks, ceramics, and other
     materials. The List is published about twice a month in Digest form.
     It was started in April 1995, and has signed about 180 members.

   * Members include 
        o artists, art conservators and restorers;
        o colorists, color technologists, scientists, engineers,
          mathematicians, chemists and spectroscopists;
        o designers, stylists, psychologists and philosophers; and
        o workers in the pigment, dye, paint, plastics, textile, and
          instrument industries.

   * Discussions may include, but are not limited to
        o lighting and filters;
        o vision and perception;
        o instruments, measurement, standards and calibration;
        o color difference metrics and tolerances;
        o color order systems, color naming;
        o pigments and dyes;
        o safety and environmental concers;
        o color stability; and
        o color matching, software, colorant calibration and color lab
          procedures.

   * Employment opportunities for, and profiles from color specialists and
     consultants are welcome. A directory of COLORING People is maintained
     here, which includes all the List subscribers. Anyone who wishes to be

Most mfrs. of fiber optic cable also build illuminators with HID light
sources.  Fiberstars in Fremont, California manufacturers fiber optic
cable for side-emitting and end-emitting purposes, along with 150w and
400w metal halide illuminators.  These illuminators offer high light
output and long lamp life.  One drawback of metal halide and other HID
lamps is not much red in their color spectrum.  So, even with dichroic
filters, you won't get deep red colors. For more info call 1-800-327-7877.

I would like to see such a thing come about.  I am a graduate student at
the Univ. of Washington in the Orthopedic Biomechanics Lab at Harborview
Hospital.  It would be very nice to be able to do medline type searches
and even searches of solid biomechanics libraries around the world if they
were available.  The old dial into the university will only last another
couple years for me until I complete my Ph.D. and then when I am no longer
affiliated with the university what do I do.  Since I have america online
and have the ability to get on the web pretty much at will I would
appreciate the opportunity to perform searches on databases such as
medline or others.

	Well, of course all color metrics have claimed that they
	simulate human sensitivity. Macadam (from P.G.Nutting's
	observations) established ellipses first, maybe 40 years
	ago. The FMC units were the first practical applications
	of theses when computers became available...

	Oh? I thought the AATCC was exactly the same as CMC???

>If you use this system or know where I can talk with someone who does, please drop me a line
>at hkcastle@usa.net

	The CMC system is enjoying widespread use here in the US
	now. Though it was develped by McDonald at Coates using
	threads, and has been adopted by the AATCC here, it is
	also used widely in the plastics industry. When using the
	L:C ratio of 1.3:1, it has been shown to correlate much
	better with visual pass-fail judgements than CIELab 1972 or
	1994, McAdam, or Hunter Lab. (SPE ANTEC, 1995, Mulholland)

	I believe the CMC metric is currently an option on all new
	color measuring equipment. I know Eastman plastics, Hoechst-
	Celanese, and Allied-Signal use it, and I believe Ford
	requires it.

	Often the CIE L, a, and b values are also used by colorists
	used to thinking in red-green and yellow-blue terms, especially
	in the gray and near neutral colors, where they just make more
	sense than dHue and dChroma.

	Just what do you need? I have QuickBasic code that calculates
	it from tristimulus values, if you want to add it to some
	existing software of yours... will be happy to talk to you
	on the phone, or put you in touch with experts who have
	thouroughly evaluated it in plastics.

	Bill

Hopefully when you complete your Ph.D you will seek full time employment and
have a suitable income to support paying for a few online searches.  Perhaps
your employer would pick up the cost.

I have found more and more reference material online, but have spent some 
time developing my sources.  Some of the government sources are the best. 
You can use your free 90 searches on infosearch to get some good leads.  
I could not afford it on aol and had to change to a private local 
provider. $150 per year for 28.8 dialup.  I am searching for

I have been given the opportunity to introduce lighting to a group of 
architectural students this term at a local college. I am interested in 
developing the students awareness of lighting in their everyday travels. 
One possible approach is to ask the students to engage themselves in 
"experiments" which would enhance their experience with light (for 
example, color, emotional response, etc.). Given that this newsgroup is 
read by many of the most outstanding people in this industry, I thought 
this would be a good place to share some thoughts and ideas on the 
subject. Any feedback would be most appreciated.

Kind regards,

Most larger lighting rental houses will have an audio (0-10v line) input 
strobe controller and syncable strobe for rent for a resonable price.

It depends on where the sound is coming from.  Using modern technology,
one might assume that the thunder could be a sample on a synth.  The
synth will respond to MIDI commands, and may even be able to generate them
if it has a built-in sequencer.

You can also get quite cheap switch closure devices that are triggered
by MIDI commands.  A switch closure can of course be used to trigger your
strobes.

So you can record your thunder as some samples, set up a sequencer to play
them back, and also have it trigger the strobes.

Older technology would have used thunder on one track of a tape recorder,
and a cue track on the other track, or foil on the back of the tape,
depending on the sort of tape player you used.

	Loren

PS: If you are planning on using this in a theatrical production, test
it beforehand by triggering the strobes manually.  It has been my experience
that strobes by themselves make lousy lightning effects.  The flash duration
is too short.  You will probably get better results with some 250W or 500W
photoflood bulbs, since when you pulse them you can get something lasting
around .1 to .3 second as it fades out.  The longer time causes the pupils
to close down farther, and give a sensation of "deeper darkness" after
the flash, just as a real lightning bolt will.  A typical photo strobe
is so fast that the eyes don't start to close down.

Actually, they are pushing the envelope for improvements that are really 
easy in this day and age. Netscape and its users are not content to wait 
around while a bunch of academics try to decide on the next HTML 3.0 
standards (most of the enhancements are proposed 3.0 standards). Are you

Try asking over in alt.stagecraft or rec.arts.theatre.stagecraft; you will
probably get a better response.  This group tends more toward architectural,
theoretical, and scientific lighting issues.  The other groups cover theater
and disco lighting quite well.

You might want to contact Minolta Corporation at Ramsey for more

We are currently working with a infrared computer vision system, for which the 
ilumination is to be automatically controlled. Our illumination system consists
of infrared lamps, which radiates light of a wavelenght from 800 - 1000 nm.
Due to the fact that infrared light can be dangerous to the eye, we would 
like to know if anyone is aware of the maximal irradiance Watt/m^2 that the 
eye can tolerate (as a function of wavelength). Also we would like to know how 
much this limit changes if the light is pulsed (only "on" in the time 
of exposure, eg. 1/10000 sec. ) i.e. the limit as a function of T_on and 
dutycycle.

I would very much appreciate any leads for manufacturers of LED exit sign
retrofit kits that operate on 240-volt, 50-Hz.  Hopefully these will be

I'm interested in receiving suggestions for locating a good technical 
book on the history of commercial light sources, particularly, 
incandescent (including halogen), low-pressure mercury, & low- and 
high-pressure sodium.  (The info can be contained in multiple 
references.)  Up to now, I have access only to current product offerings, 
and general treatments of the history of lighting (IESNA's Lighting 
Handbook, etc.); I'd prefer a rather technical and detailed 
historical survey.

Thanks for your help.

I am currently compiling information on LED's - capability,
availability, etc. This is an area that is new to me so I am asking for
 pointer's to information.  I have access to a reasonable technical
 library and , of course, on-line resources.  I was hoping that readers
 might have some creative suggestions as to where one might look for
information. Namely, trade-shows where LED manufacturer's exhibit (the
last Photonics and SID shows had nothing to speak of....), particular
publications that feature LED developments,&  manufacturer's of LED's-
particularly those that might not be considered 'mainstream'. 
Any university programs doing
research in LED's would also be of interest.

Please feel free to contact me via E-mail (joannt@teleport.com )
or post for the group at large if you feel there might be enough general
interest.  Thank you for any information that you can provide - it is
much appreciated.

Best Regards,

Joann Taylor

I realized that my earlier posting may have been a bit vague regarding
my request for information related to LED's.  I have looked at
conventional resources such as literature search, and patent data bases
- as well as manufacturing directories and the like...My real interest
is in tapping into the resources that might not be as easily found -
ones that a professional in the area of LED development or manufacturing
might turn to.  

Thank you again.

CIE Publication 102-1993, "Recommended File Format for Electronic Transfer
of Luminaire Photometric Data," clearly and unambiguously defines three types
of photometry: A (alpha), B (beta), and C (gamma). The accompanying diagrams
leave no doubt as to how their photometric webs are oriented with respect to
the luminaire.

IES LM-63-1991, "IES Standard File Format for Electronic Transfer of
Photometric Data and Related Information," on the other hand, is less
helpful. It refers the reader to the IES Lighting Handbook for a description
of Types A and B goniophotometers, and to CIE 27-1973 ("Photometry of
Luminaires for Street Lighting") and CIE 43-1979 ("Photometry of Floodlights")
for a description of type C. It then says that "Type C is the form in common
use in the United States (although it was formerly referred to as Type A)."

As best as I can tell from the descriptions in LM-63-1991 (and comparing them
to CIE 102-1993), it appears that the IES Type C is equivalent to the CIE Type
A, and that the IES Type A is equivalent to the CIE Type C. Is this correct?

Does any one know how the US ANSI standards relate to the IEC (Int'l
Electrotechnincal Commission) standards/recommendation. What legal status do
the ANSI sdtandards have? Are there any standards that regulate harmonics from
lighting equipment, or are these standards rather recommendations?

I have a complaint in an office building that the magnetic field from
the transformer in an adjacent electrical room is interferring with
computer monitors.  The tenant will only spend up to $600, and moving
the monitors is not a consideration.  I would think that a grounded
copper plate between the monitors and the transformer would solve this
problem.  Does anyone have any experience in this matter?  I'd really
appreciate any information.

Thanks in advance.

of this post. If you have questions about NTU 
registration/membership, please call (303) 495-6400.

SEMINAR DESCRIPTION:  From time to time in applied science,
there is a condition where the technology greatly lags the
practice, we are such a nexus in the injection molding field. 
The nature of the industry has drastically changed, but the
content of the published research has not.  Over the past 5-7
years in the plastics field, product performance and
properties have been achieved by blending, alloying and
reactive compounding, rather than the creation of new
polymers.  One reason for the shift is that any new product
requires an entire vertical chain of suppliers and customers
in order to bring the product to market.  This process is too
expensive and time consuming.  Furthermore, the new polymers
may require more complex architecture in order to satisfy the
performance requirements.  There is an inverse relationship
between polymer complexity and recyclability.
    It is more incumbent upon the involved personnel - from
the machine operator to the process design engineer - to
understand the complex relationship between the chemistry of
the polymer, the rheology of the polymer system, the specific
mixing process and the final screw design and operating
conditions.
    This series of seminars will provide the building blocks for
a basic understanding the various aspects of polymer processing.
Case studies will demonstrate how these principles assist in
understanding the problems and finding the solutions.

BENEFITS:  You will:

*   Be introduced to general principles of polymer science with
    an emphasis on polymer blends and compatibilized polymer mixtures
*   Understand the issues in characterizing polymer
    mixtures and blends
*   Understand the fundamentals to polymer flow in an extruder
*   Understand the principals for screw design in a
    Corotating Twin Screw Extruder
 
INTENDED AUDIENCE:  This course is for machine operators, lab
technicians, polymer engineers, people with Chemical,
Materials, and Mechanical Engineering degrees who are now
involved in the polymer industry.

PRESENTERS:   Robert M. Briber, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor
of Materials and Nuclear Engineering.  Prior to coming to the
University of Maryland, Dr. Briber was a staff scientist at
the National Institute of Standards and Technology.  Dr.
Briber is an expert in the areas of polymer physics, polymer
characterization and polymer morphology.  He received his Ph.D.
>from  the University of Massachusetts in Polymer Science and
Engineering in 1984.
David Bigio, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Mechanical
Engineering.  He has been involved in the area of Polymer
Processing and Mixing for the past 10 years since receiving
his Ph.D. from MIT.  Since coming to the University of
Maryland at College Park, he has established the Polymer
Processing Laboratory which is engaged in research dedicated
to quantification of mixing as a basis for extruder
performance evaluation.  The concept has been applied to
various polymer processes like reactive extrusion,
devolitalization, and blend compatibilization for both
individual companies and the Polymer Mixing Program - an
Industrial Partnership.

Enrollment:
This 3 day seminar will be broadcast live via satellite on 
the National Technological University (NTU) Network in the

child attractive lighting equipment, both US and foreign.  I found an IEC
standard regarding the subject but it deals with fixtures operating on 24V
and lower.  Is there anything out dealing with fixtures operating at
120VAC? Any help would be appreciated.

This sort of thing is usually covered by the more hardware-oriented electronics
shows.  Wescon usually has a large number of companies exhibiting each year.
I'm sure the east coast counterpart (I forget its name) must have many also.

Various components-oriented magazines often have ads for any number of LED
companies.  Electronic Components, ECN, EDN, and many others are good sources.

One of the largest primary LED makers in the world is Hewlett Packard.
The HP optoelectronics catalog is about 1.5 inches thick, packed with data
sheets.  Chicago Minature also sells LEDs.  There are any number of
manufacturers in the near and far east,  notably Tiwan.  Also, there are
scads of repackagers that buy leds from other sources and package them into
things like incandescent-lamp replacements.

If you are trying to shield the monitors from the 60 Hz field of the
transformer with a single sheet, you are out of luck.  The skin depth in
copper at 60 Hz is about 6 mm.  That is likely to be too expensive and
heavy to be practical.  Making the shield out of multiples copper sheets
with air gaps in between can make the shielding of a given total amount of
copper more effective.

             Svar:  Ang-RE>ANSI/IEC standards

Let' get more specific. What about CFLs is there any US law regulating
harmonic emissions from lamps under   25 W power, in accordance with the IEC
standards that has a general exemption for lighting products <25W.

AND, the new EC standards  propose that light sources under 25 W be regulated
as far as THD/PF is concerned. Is there any similar regulatory move in the US?

Will the ANSI standard propose the ame thing (and does it follow the CIE
standard today?)

Thanks

The magnetic fields are at 60 Hz and copper won't start to do much below 200 
KHz.  Get yourself sheets of cold rolled steel or steel sheet metal and try 
that.  Otherwise, you will need something with higher permability, like Mu 
metal (Mu metal is REALLY EXPENSIVE).  

Good luck.  You might not be able to solve your problem.

BTW, think of what that magnetic field is doing to the people in that room.

All--

I'm looking for information on fluorescent lamps which produce substantial
quantities of near-UV radiation.  It seems that most black-light lamps
give a ~350 nm peak.  That is shorter than I would like.  I'm looking for
something in the gap between conventional black light lamps and 03
actinic lamps (420 nm peak.)  

I'm aware that sylvania makes a lamp with a ~365 nm peak, which is 
closer to what I'm looking for.

If anyone has any leads on other lamps with peaks between let us
say 360 and 410 nm, I would greatly appreciate that information.

Thank you,

Craig Bingman

     GE's Halogen-IR PAR lamps have been around for a while now and
I'm wondering if anyone out there has some unbiased comments about
the technology?  I've heard of shortened lamp-life in dimming applications
(as with any halogen-type lamp), but I guess I'm looking for general
satisfaction or dis-satisfaction with the product.  Does anyone have
some other experience, good or bad,  that they would like to share?
     I think the technology is great, but at around $11-$13 a shot, the
economic advantage over a typical halogen PAR is borderline with typical
utility costs.
     Also, I have one of the early verisions of the HIR and the beam tends
to be spotty.   I've heard of improvements in beam distribution, but I
haven't seen anything with my own eyes.
     Any Comments would be appreciated!

I hear that there is a new type of light bulb that is more efficient
and produces the full spectrum of light (minus the harmful UV light).
It is supposed to be made of a non-toxic material.

Has anyone else heard of this?  If so, what is it called and what do
you think of it?

Thanks,

Alex

I am a lighting representative in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.  Our
company carries several lines of lighting sources.  One of our lines is
Supreme Lighting Corporation of Mullins, SC.  Supreme is the last independent
manufacturer of lamps in the US.  It is family owned, and is in it's third
generation, of ownership by the Siegel family.  You may want to contact them
at 1-800-922-6693.  They have a cover sheet in their catalog that explains
it's history, and genesis.  The people at the factory are very friendly and
I'm sure that they will be glad to help you.

Hi All

Several months ago someone posted an article mentioning
a new fluorescent lamp made by Philips, that has a much
higher efficacy than the fluoros that we are currently
used to.

I think that it was a TL12 of TL16 or something like that

Does anyone know about these lamps, or have any info
the local Philips do not know much about them at 
present.

Regards to you all

I would second Nils Borg's opinion that shipping inefficient lighting
products abroad only exports our energy inefficiency problems. If this is
nor unethical, it is pretty close.

This brings up a similar issue - while at Public Service's Energy Edge fair
18 months ago I was asking the lighting management companies there what they
did with their used lamps and ballasts that were generated by the local
demand side management programs. One companies said that they resold them at
discount prices! They were selling T-12 lamps for $0.25 each. This used
equipment helps lower the first cost of inefficient equipment (in this case
in the utilitiy's own service territory). Since this inefficient equipment
has a higher life-cycle cost, and a higher environmental cost, why would
anyone want to see it sold anywhere? This points to a need that demand side
management programs require the destruction of inefficient equipment.

I know it is hard to throw away anything that is still working - it is
counterintuitive that this is the frugal thing to do. In our City facilities
department, the electricians had saved the 10 year old magnetic ballasts
>from  an electronic ballast upgrade so they could reuse them in fixtures that
had failing magnetic ballasts. Throwing these old ballasts in the trash and
rewiring the fixtures to accept a 3 lamp electronic ballast had a lower cost
over 5 years than installing an old free ballast (this analysis included a
6% discount rate and a 0% energy escalation rate). This assumes that either
the recycled replacement ballast or the other magnetic ballast in the
fixture would fail over the next 5 years. The cost of electricity here is
$0.05/kWh.

You may want to contact lamp manufacturers like UVP and BHK (both is LA area). They should be able to make a lamp for you with custo=
m phosphor mixture that will give you the output you want.
Here are the phone numbers:
UVP: (800) 452-6788
BHK: (909) 593-6590

I hope this helps.

I am wondering if anyone has experience dimming metal halide lamps.
The application would ideally vary the light output with the occupancy of
the area. It is my understanding that there is a product by Wild/Keene (sp?)
that provides various programmable light levels. Any contacts with this
company or experience with similar applications would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Would appreciate any input re: proper lighting for fabrics and garments
prone to fading.  What is recommended for general store or area lighting
and/or  spot or accent lighting of the fabric display, in terms of lamp
color temp., spectrum, UV content or lack thereof, CRI for best
appearance, etc.  Also, is this condition similar to museum lighting where
exposure time on the delicate materials is closely regulated?
Thanks for your help.

In many lighting projects, the ballast is not specified.  When it is specified, the
manufacturer very rarely gets detailed information on the type.  It is commonly just
specified as electronic or magnetic.  Because of the cost differential, many
manufactureres supply instant start ballasts.  Apparently, it has been common
practice to match RS lamps with Instant Start ballasts.  These ballasts are
generally hybrids and only recently have manufacturers produced electronic Instant
start ballasts. Has anyone experienced maintenance problems with this configuration
and if so were the problems related to premature lamp failure, ballasts or
circuiting (i.e.- relays, CBs, etc...).  Initial feedback on this issue has
indicated this is done for energy efficiency.  Other than the power consumed by the
