Lighting the Future: 7 Elegant and Innovative LED Lamps [Catalog]

Lighting the Future: 7 Elegant and Innovative LED LampsSimply put, LEDs are the future. As the technology matures, it's now being embraced in a way unlike ever before. The diodes last longer and draw less power than other light sources. And, technical benefits aside, LEDs can also be implemented into unconventional forms much more easily than incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. Get ready for some crazy lighting designs.

Lighting the Future: 7 Elegant and Innovative LED LampsJake Dyson's LED lamp design is built around the concept of maximizing the lifespan of the LED light. Spanning the length of the horizontal bar, a copper heat pipe takes heat away from the LED components, the most common life shortener of the diodes. The lamps also have some wonderful industrial features, such as the way the parts can moves along the X and Y axes. [PHOTO]

Lighting the Future: 7 Elegant and Innovative LED LampsWhen you have a newish technology, why not revisit an old form? Switch lighting's beautiful bulb is all about easing us into the future. It fits in a standard socket and emits a light comparable to incandescent bulbs. The form is something familiar to us all, which makes change easier to accept. [PHOTO]

Lighting the Future: 7 Elegant and Innovative LED LampsCan you imagine shoving a bunch of tiny incandescent bulbs in Rux's tree-inspired Stickbulb lamp? Anyone interested in the current trends of furniture design will surely appreciate the angular lines of this one. [PHOTO]

Lighting the Future: 7 Elegant and Innovative LED LampsOne of the best things about LEDs are how flat you can make a light fixture and still have it emit a sufficient amount of light. Peter Stathis' Symtra Lamp may not be paper-thin in its final form, but each of its panels show what LEDs can be compressed down into. Light wall, anyone? [PHOTO]

Lighting the Future: 7 Elegant and Innovative LED LampsOLEDs are to LEDs what humans are to Neanderthals. The evolution of the technology has added benefits, such as the ability to easily fit in a flexible form factor, exemplified by Gergo Kassai's Motion Lamp. [PHOTO]

Lighting the Future: 7 Elegant and Innovative LED LampsBecause LEDs use considerably less power than other light sources, a solar panel is actually a realistic way to power a lamp. Ikea's Sunnan lamp is a perfect example as to how one goes about creating a self-sufficient , tech-forward product for normal people. [PHOTO]

Lighting the Future: 7 Elegant and Innovative LED LampsZwei21's strips the lamp down to its most essential components, using a spidery wire attachement to prop the light up. A couple of extra power outlets hang off the fixture like a hydra. The LED-specific tech may not be anything innovative, but the fixture does get bonus points for its tasteful use of copper. [PHOTO]

delphi - Disable and change color of node in Treeview -

Image
i looking way of disabling proper nodes . let's have created simple treeview structure below: parent 1 (disable) parent 2 child 1 child 2 (disable) so far have found workaround how that, still doesn't work @ all. use onchanging event handler: procedure tform1.treeviewchanging(sender: tobject; node: ttreenode; var allowchange: boolean); begin if (node.text = 'parent 1') or (node.text = 'child 1') allowchange := false; end; it works, because can't click on node, issue after 'disabling' node way, color of parent 1 , child 1 nodes same other. way change color of nodes (grey)? or maybe know way disabling nodes in ttreeview component? to disable node, set enabled property false . disabled item displayed in gray color. to change normal color of nodes text, change ttreeview.font.color . to change color of disabled nodes text, use oncustomdrawitem event: procedure tform2.treeview1customdrawitem(sender: tcu...

elasticsearch python client - work with many nodes - how to work with sniffer -

i have 1 cluster 2 nodes. i trying understand best practise connect nodes, , check failover when there downtime on 1 node. from documentation : es = elasticsearch( ['esnode1', 'esnode2'], # sniff before doing sniff_on_start=true, # refresh nodes after node fails respond sniff_on_connection_fail=true, # , every 60 seconds sniffer_timeout=60 ) so tried connect nodes this: client = elasticsearch([ip1, ip2],sniff_on_start=true, sniffer_timeout=10,sniff_on_connection_fail=true) where ip1/ip2 machine ip's (for example 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2) in order test it, terminated ip2 (or put non existent if) now, when trying connect, get: transporterror: transporterror(n/a, 'unable sniff hosts - no viable hosts found.') even ip1 exist , up. if trying connect this: es = elasticsearch([ip1, ip2]) then can see in log if client not getting response ip2, move ip1, , return valid response. so missing here something? thought s...

unity3d - Rotate an object to face an opposite direction -

i have object , b. when click on object b, rotates object b (a faces b). b doesn't face a. need following : when faces b, need face opposite direction. have code rotating @ b. how rotate face opposite direction after that? vector3 targetdirection = target - transform.position; float step = speed * time.deltatime; vector3 newdirection = vector3.rotatetowards (turretdome.transform.forward, targetdirection, step, 0.0f); turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (newdirection); you object facing object b, want inverse direction of object after that? objecta.transform.rotation = quaternion.inverse(objecta.transform.rotation) but lets assume example turretdome object a, (negate direction): turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (-newdirection); naturally, both of these snippets not show how smoothen rotation, seem know how use time.deltatime. just incase unsure, quaternion.lerp this
