If you need a powerful, localized lighting (a court, entrance, terrace etc.), you must equip yourself with a projector ! However, there are many, the powers, technologies and varied designs.Today, the best technology is the LED projector, both powerful and energy efficient. To help you choose the best projector you need, here is a list of the types of the most common projectors.

Mmotion detector spotlight

When you want to have light when you go out on your deck or when you park in your yard, the projector detector movement is ideal. It is often equipped with three types of settings: the smoothness of motion detection, the lighting time after detection, and external brightness threshold at which it works (not that it lights when it gets even day).

This type of projector can offer a standalone lighting and achieve energy savings. To go further, you can associate the projector manual control switch type, to force it to turn on even when nothing moves (to illuminate a patio for example).

Projector to sting

This type of projector is most often used as ambient lighting or decorative. Placed at the foot of shrubs, slope or the edge of a grove, the projector stitching generates a diffuse light using the aesthetic value of your outside. To a lesser extent, it can also be useful to report an obstacle, indicating the driveway entrance etc.

Single projector

If you need a projector night light, JOSEPHNIGHTLIGHTS has the type of lighting you need. Often of great power, the projector night light allows for proper lighting on the area to which it is directed (terrace or courtyard). Fixed above a door window, a bay window or to the structure of an eave or a pergola, the projector allows you to enjoy your outside all night.

For convenience, and not to go whenever you want to turn on the projector, you can opt in addition to a wireless switch .

Fixing Projector

Most of the time, the projectors come with their own mounting kit . When it comes to a fixed projector or motion detection, the mounting kit includes the base, dowels and screws .Obviously, depending on the media you want to attach the projector, the pegs and screws may not match (usually they are anchors for solid materials and standard screws). It will then also provide the type of dowels and screws to be in line with your support.

For projectors to sting , they are also sold with a stake. For ease of installation (hard floors) and durability (weather resistance), it is recommended to choose aluminum pegs . The stakes are usually delivered with a fixing system such as “butterfly screws” to house and fix the base of the projector (equipped with specific holes). The recommended minimum height for a stake of 150 mm.

Recessed spotlight

Recessed ceiling lights are not here to enlighten itself, they help give atmosphere, indicate stairs or walk or even delineate terrace. The recessed spotlights can be set up anywhere (provided the power) and in many different materials-wood, concrete etc.There are two types of recessed spotlights: the recessed spotlights wall and ceiling and recessed spotlights to ground.

Spot recessed exterior wall and ceiling

Recessed into the wall, this spot has an indicative function  : located down a wall along an alley, it shows you the way; Built on top of a door, it will indicate the position etc. The ceiling, if you multiply them, recessed spotlights can be used to direct light (for example covered terrace). In any case, there are various shapes and designs, some spots are even adjustable .

Recessed spotlight Outdoor floor

Exclusively for mood lighting , spotlights embedded in the floor give a real aesthetic touch to your home or around your patio.Note that spots of very small sizes are to delimit steps. Of being embedded in the ground, they are in high demand by the shocks and bad weather; you must choose before any robust spots – ideally with a stainless steel head and tempered glass – with IP 65, 66 or even 67.

The Philips Hue ecosystem lets direct lighting remotely, from tablets and smartphones on iOS and Android. The concept is based on a bridge, the system connected, including the intuitive application then offers the freedom of complete lighting over our desires, our needs and our deco.

A very simple installation

The starter pack includes three bulbs of 600 lumens (equivalent to 50 watts) compatible with sockets (GU10 light bulbs, see http://www.ledbulbbay.com/buy/gu10-led-bulbs/) standard, 16 million colors, a bridge, an Ethernet cable, and an instruction guide. Takes a few minutes to install light bulbs in the sockets, download the dedicated iOS or Android app, plug the transmitter casing (bridge) to the Wi – Fi router with the Ethernet cable, and finally press the single button of it to connect it to a tablet or a smartphone.

It is possible to connect up to 50 bulbs or lamps Friends of Hue on the same bridge.

An interactive web platform

Philips opened its application through an Open Source platform available on www.meethue.com. Developers can invent new ways to improve daily life through lighting. With Hue, the possibilities are endless. The system simulates the presence thanks to the remote control of lighting, allows you to get up and fold gently with light therapy or to align light with climate variations. It also allows to alert the user when receiving an email, an SMS or the end of cooking to a dish via a slight light pulse. Finally, many applications also allow to synchronize light with music, television, and even photos.

Some examples of applications of Philips Hue

Hue BioFeedback allows you to view the pace attack during physical exercise or relaxation, ideal to set personal goals. It detects continuous frequencies high and low to meet and inform the user through the light. If it exceeds his heart rate during exercise, light alert to regularize its pace. In a phase of relaxation, light indicates when the body has reached a State of total relaxation.

The Snoozy Alarm Clock application offers a more pleasant alternative to morning. Once the set schedule, a gradual and diffuse light, the color of her choice, is projected in the room to help the user to spend this time more naturally. Music lovers will also be able to synchronize light with their favorite piece of music.

Enforcement OnSwitch offers thirty scenarios stimulating with bright paintings offered by nature, and scenarios dedicated to romance and delicacy. Light ‘champagne bubbles’ feeling, soft and pink hues, or fireplace fire effect, the cosy atmosphere is assured.

Enjoy the benefits of light therapy

The LighRecipes function offers four atmospheres preprogrammed, inspired by the Philips research on the effects of light on the body. These programs adjust the shade and the brightness of the bulbs so as to create an environment perfectly suited to four needs: reading, concentration, stimulation and relaxation. A service of Automation also allows to recreate a sunset or the atmosphere of the ocean.

Friends of Hue multiplies the possibilities of lighting

With Friends of Hue, Philips multiplies the possibilities of lighting and interior decoration. It extends the experience Hue to the whole House with two technology-compatible models: LivingColors Bloom and Lightstrips. With its playful and contemporary silhouette, LivingColors Bloom goes perfectly with the interior design. A gesture is enough to create an atmosphere on measure in the House: enjoy a warm atmosphere in the lounge, do fired the “music tones” of his favorite songs by synchronizing light and music, sublimate a stone wall or sculpture… creativity has no limit. As for the Lightstrips, they arise in the bottom of a shelf below the TV or along the bottom of a piece of furniture. These flexible strips of two metres leave free rein to the imagination.

An extensive collection of connected lamps

Many models of lamps Hue are proposed by Philips, each offering special features. A few examples:

• The Hue White bulb gives a warm quality white light.Its intensity is controlled from the tips of the fingers on the tablet or smartphone.
• Hue Tap is a switch intelligent to control its lighting, here again, the tip of the fingers, when the smartphone or Tablet are loading or are already used by another Member of the family.Without battery or electrical connection (it is kinetic energy), it allows to select and drive in a second one of the configured with the application light scenes.
• Hue Beyond (lamp and suspension) lights offer both functional lighting and the ability to stay connected to his mobile smoothly without being distracted.Indeed, the luminaire manifests the arrival of notifications (emails, social networks, alarms…) by a slight pulse of colored light.
• Hue Phoenix is a collection of connected ambiance lamps (table lamp, wall, ceiling, suspension) intended to accompany the different times of the day when you have to concentrate, relax, or instead to mobilize its energy.

Hue Go, the new girl

Mobile and flexible, the new girl from Philips is a portable wireless, award-winning connected lamp at the IF Design Awards. With its soft and discreet lines, Hue GB used both as that classic connected version. In classic mode, the user chooses between two white shades and five pre-programmed scenes: flickering candle, over coffee, Meditation, enchanted forest, night’s adventure. Use connected, lends itself to all the variations of the concept Hue. The light Hue Go also moves away from home. Simply unplug the and take it anywhere where you want since it offers 3 hours of battery life.

I recently discovered another shop, which is not only wall decals, but also window images, Tafelfolie and borders are.
Very good I like here is that you be completely customize own custom motif itself can. The design is carried out directly via the website with many ideas on presentation and also with its own text. For this purpose an extensive color choice.

Speaking of color choice. The wall decals that are now not much color, such as in the nursery, there are many colors. Currently, there are 29 colors + stencil film for election.
This can, of course, the right size to be selected on the scale are indeed different. If the wall tattoo in the indoor or outdoor? We would happen with Swarowski elements as an additional eye-catcher. This can easily be ordered with it.

The range of designs is very nice and individually and contains much of what one of the other stores do not knows ready. Because some designs are repeated in one or the other store.
Very exceptional is the choice of the categories in the wall tattoos:
• wanderlust
• Designed for you
• females
• For real men
• Kids Kingdom
• readably
• Retro
• Special
• Beastly strong
• Sports
• Musically
• Vegetable

I have a window screen in the living room window and was looking for another one for the kitchen. Here, since our windows are not so large it had to be something that is best elongated.Discovered I then the spider to the grid, which I find totally cool and not just for Halloween, under which heading they can be found. Another Wall Decal I placed in the living room next to the window. The wall that connects to delete dark in an in nights renovation, but not quite, but either with stripes or with a large field in the center, we will then decide when the time comes.

A wall tattoo is still on the kitchen wall, here is also yet to re-papered, so it is not dependent, which is then placed in the “new” cuisine to fresh wall.

Since I already have several wall decals, I want you a few tips for perfect grip even give:
. 1 Search Matching wall or background. Once with a cloth over it wipe
. 2 The mural with the underside facing upwards on a flat surface and flatten it with the doctor, so bubbles and kinks that are being painted out occur during rolling, also the mural then presses the transfer sheet
. 3 Now the thick bottom is withdrawn careful attention at fisseligen images that everything comes to the transfer sheet. Here you can again work well with the squeegee and a cloth
. 4 Now place the image into the slide to the right job, proofs found here are doctor and cloth helpful, the best way to do it for two
. 5 Now carefully remove the foil and voila, the wall tattoo depends

Well, I’ve made you curious? Then you check wall clocks at the diy decor store, you will be safe as excited as I also.

Self-taught native of the Rhône-Alpes region, Patrice is installed since 2007 in the Beaujolais. 34, from the technology sector and nature enthusiast, he has been interested for more than 15 years in the photographic image.He exhibited for Canon in the living room of photography in Paris. Several reference magazines have also published his pictures and articles.

Since photography became his main activity, he realizes exhibitions, photo essays, internships and covers events in various fields (sports, culture).

Patrice showed us the pictures he made with his Led Lenser H7 headlight like cycling headlamps. We let you discover his work and enjoy these images to learn more about a passion became his profession.

Landscape photography is first listening, but mostly hear things around us.

Photography has been my passion for a long time and now I have the chance to do my job. I work almost 7 days 7, when it is not for work then this is the passion that takes over. I eat and I saw the photograph, the image is part of me.

Know or understand and watch what happens in nature. If one thinks of these things, then the work is already done 50%. Then comes the identification of the land, study its topology to know where you walk. With the Internet and all lines tools at our disposal, it is very easy to find interesting corners. I let more and more a part of discovery and unexpected. When everything is calculated, everything quickly becomes boring and uninteresting. I let the chance to nature to amaze me, and I love discovering unknown splendid picture commercials.

Sponsors with varied backgrounds:

Renowned ski resorts wish to enhance their brand image, Patrice’s customers are primarily companies: ski resorts, tourist office, regional councils, etc ..
Communities seeking to develop their territory, but also agencies . illustrations of application communication for the brands they represent
Having gained acclaim in the field of landscape, Patrice also works with individuals: wedding, photo internship in France and abroad, various and varied shooting . He remains in constant search of originality.

Whatever the location or subject, the image is a vector of emotions that the eye of the photographer must know transcribe.

I travel all over the world, in France and abroad. Whether for work when I coach people during my internship picture is for my personal pleasure. My playground is mainly the mountain, because I like to be up there for recreation and create beautiful images.

Braving the sometimes extreme weather conditions, Patrice likes tormented atmospheres. As local tourism development actor, he traveled more particularly the Alps and wants to educate his audience the fragility of the landscape breathtaking.

Also portraitist, especially according to his walks between mountains and valleys in which he asserted in a difficult category.
However, it does not stay away from the world and also includes characters in his shots.

In search of spontaneity, I prefer natural portraits in daylight.

A Led Lenser H7 to illuminate the sky and create the magic of the scene:

The hardware is important, it should be light and reliable. I changed all my camera equipment this year, I have been faithful for 15 years to make and unfortunately as the years pass and less equipment was robust. I finally changed creamery and I went to competition. The reliability of the equipment must be excellent, whatever the weather conditions. To build my series of images at night, I used a headlamp Led Lenser H7. With his power, I can create a beautiful beam of light in the sky. This gives a little magical side to the scene . It also allows me to hike and see the night into day. The battery life is very good allowing me to travel sometimes long distances. I have never been disappointed despite the years! The H7.2 version seems to have new functions that would me very practical to create new effects on my images. The latter is also more resistant in the rain which seems essential in my business.

Power and reliability, the main qualities that guided the choice of Patrice for Led Lenser.

Personally I prefer to buy a lamp that lasts 3 rather than that makes me a year.

I have not watched the entire range, but it would be interesting to add a function to discreetly see at night (red lights). To make milky way of images, for example, a red light would allow me not to be dazzled.

The Led Lenser P7QC, with its 4-color LED lighting should interest Patrice

Patrice Mestari soon take part in various festivals where you can discover part of his work.

Packaging and delivery

We delivered the M1 in a hard cardboard, including the necessary CR123 3V battery, belt holder and a retaining clip. Enclosed is a brief description in Business Size, called “smart card”. Although the term is rather misleading bring one the information on rapid Feature that later.

Functions

The M1 is equipped with an intelligent overheating protection which automatically dims the lamp after some time. I myself do not need the lamp usually for 5 minutes or longer at full level so I do not find it distracting, but can not imagine that for some this feature is more of a disadvantage than advantage. But the “Dimmed” stage and offers enough light. Working where I screw with the lamp as the PC I am doing mostly anyway from the beginning on the “economy mode” because I am so not even blende. Die lamp now has 3 modes which can be switched through, 1x Press = Full light, 2x press = reduced light output (economy mode), 3x stroboscope effect. The latter is not suitable for “play around”, light the Light and the rapid flashing frequency is a very different But as already written at a look at, as fiber optic sight tester 1A.

In the feature list is “splashproof” I have times with tested 15 minutes torch in the filled basin. No problem, according to the water, I have broken the lamp and was surprised everything dry. So therefore you should even when häftigen rain no problems bekommen. Was me is really like in LED Lenser generally known as the ” Speed Focus ” is usually screwed or turning on a lamp as on a camera lens to the desired focus to obtained with the speed Focus is like the L lenses from Canon (professional series) you push the lens back and forth only simple and thus achieved very quickly the desired focusing.

In the two pictures you can see the M1 left with wide flare and right which then reached a spot adjusted considerable reach. For durability, the battery I can not say anything yet, but is used by the special battery CR123A more performance and service life can be achieved which is sufficient for a pure light time of 8h.

Size, weight and inner workings of Led Lenser M1

All contacts As with my P7 are also in the smaller M1 plated and the entire device is very high quality, it has the touch already a very good robust feeling.

My Kitchen Scale gives me 76g in weight with battery back ( by manufacturer 78g ) the ruler is about 9.6 cm to about 2 cm wide. Thus, the whole also ideal for traveling is suitable.

Images, basement and optical waveguides

Below are some pictures I made while testing the M1. The quality of compulsory Keller pictures is not quite as good as I currently unfortunately only one camera at hand had the noise value rapidly migrates into unbearable at high ISO; (But still you can see the sufficient small but the lighting in the basement was in. two pictures does not change the light obtained comes exclusively from the M1. In the pictures with the optical fiber cable can be seen quite well as a cable which no break has behaves. In the pictures, the light signal was passed through a 50 m fiber optic cable and can be seen the exit point at the plug. the M1 was only held in front of the other connector. Läge here a fraction before would continue transporting no more light min. one of the two light guides. Beautiful is this the strobe function.

Conclusion

As always, make a long story short conclusion. Handy, weighs little and brings the power of a large and tends to be very robust. More must I do not think this is sagen. Weitere details there for interested here:

Unusual Clocks

The clocks previously presented is more original than the other, but we really entitled to an unusual creation with the clock backwards to Bacclo. The numbers are placed in the position opposite to where they should be. In addition, the hands indicating the hour, minutes and seconds are moving counterclockwise, that is to say contrary to the clock- “normal” shows. So why such a creation?

Whether single or multicolored, patterned or very simple terms.As with the side sleeper pillow itself, the selection of covers is extensive.

To have a free choice and to adjust the terms of your home environment. But not only in the colors and patterns, there is a large supply. The sizes and shapes can be added to buy according to their own wishes and provide each side sleeper pillow the correct reference.

Side Sleeper Pillow Case-Bauwolle or Polyester?

Some side sleeper pillow are already equipped with its own terms. However, it may be that you get included no reference at favorable side sleeper pillow. No problem, because the supply is plentiful.

A side sleeper pillow case is usually made ​​of 100% cotton made. This reference can thus be well washed at 40 degrees in the machine. The cotton cover makes for a comfortable sleep. In addition, a side sleeper pillow case Cotton is breathable, which is very convenient because you do not get unnecessary sweat.

A small disadvantage at a side sleeper pillow cover made of cotton is the durability. While not the material is damaged per se, rather the side sleeper pillow case loses its shape, so he wear out and nestles not so good after some time on the side sleeper pillow like at the beginning.

In addition to cotton, in a side sleeper pillow case also like polyester used. However, this relation is not quite as soft and cuddly as a cotton cover, but the material clings to good and the sleeping comfort leaves nothing to be desired.

A disadvantage has a side sleeper pillow case made ​​of polyester over a cotton cover yet: A polyester cover is not as good as breathable . The sweat or body moisture is thus hardly taken. Consequently, you sweat with this material more.

Seen priced one is side sleeper pillow case from cotton slightly more expensive than a Polyesternezug. However, you should bear in mind the point well with the breathability. You can save some of course the material, but then you also do not have the comparable comfort as in a side sleeper pillow cover made ​​of cotton. The price of the higher quality material is therefore justified.

Side Sleeper Pillow Case-in Many Shapes

Side sleeper pillow cases usually have the dimensions of 145 cm x 40 cm, 140 cm x 40 cm or 120 cm x 40 cm. Already curved side sleeper pillow cases you can also purchase natural. Mostly, these references are produced directly from the manufacturer and also have the advantage of perfect adaptation. Because simply everything fits.

Also, you should when buying a side sleeper pillow ensure respect that this is provided with a zipper. This makes changing the cover a bit easier. By the way, even more accessories for side sleeper pillow can be found here.

Children are especially always been a place of many different activities. It is painted, played, read later and worked and relaxed much in any case. This requires a diverse illumination – like in your own living room.

But the lighting is always a source of danger, because children can not yet know how careful you have to deal with power and heat. Their eye condition resulting from too bright, they can not yet manifest. It is the job of parents to reduce hazards drastically and to provide lighting that allows your child is completely well. Lampenwelt.de has put together this 10 simple tips.

10 Tips for Night Lighting in the Nursery

1. Caution, power! Check cables, sockets and lighting equipment regularly to prevent electric shock.
2. Lamps become very hot! Make sure that children can not access the bulbs to prevent serious burns.
3. Caution, fire hazard! Table and floor lamps are often decorated or draped with towels to get a nice light or dimmed light. Prohibit this because paper towels to catch fire.
4. Sharp shards of glass! Lamps of glass can break. Only use unbreakable lamps to prevent glass and metal parts can be swallowed by children.
5. Light can be blinding! Make sure that in the common areas of the child no light sources are directly visible, to protect the sensitive children’s eyes.
6. Disturbed sleep rhythm! Switched lights can disrupt sleep-wake cycle at night. Younger children are afraid in the dark, which is normal. A weak shining orientation or night lighting creates unscrupulous Remedy. ( The Post: “Why your child with a night light better sleeping” )
7. The children’s room is the living room of the young! For a bright general lighting of 200-300 lux for playing, orienting, meeting friends, playing music or video games
8. Children love varied activities! Worried when reading or doing homework for a good additional light, for example in the form of a table lamp , so that the brightness adapts the visual task.
9. Kids like it pleasant! How are you. Therefore, choose a warm white light of about 2,700 Kelvin or less for the lamps.
10. Kids love colors! You like to dress up, look at pictures, drawing or painting. Consider using high-quality bulbs from a color rendering of at least Ra 80, so that all colors are reproduced well and do not appear bland.

…After 1000 hours of operation have a maximum premature failure rate of 5% of all specimens, after 6000 hours, a 10%.

…Have after 6000 hours lost more than 20% of its brightness

…Turn out at the earliest after 15,000 switching cycles when the rated lamp life of 30,000 hours or more, otherwise the earliest on the number of switching cycles expressed in the amount of half the lamp lifetime expressed in hours.

A Little Loss Is Always

The specifications show: In terms of a single lamp shall require information on lifetime and switching durability manufacturer to nothing. Who is a 50,000-hour LED fails significantly prematurely who has been unlucky in the logic of identification. The defective copy counts then to the estimated 5 percent, which fail within 1000 hours to the 10 percent who give up the ghost within 6,000 hours or to the 50 percent that are dark throughout the rated life. On the other hand, an LED also last longer than it promises the life.

How Many Hours Are In A Year?

Particular caution is required when a service life in years is given instead of hours. Often the information is based on a relatively low average usage of two to three hours a day. Unfortunately, the statement can not simply proportional convert to a longer average use per day. Blame the sensitivity of the LED is to heat development: reach Many LEDs when they are installed unfavorably, after five hours of operation, a higher operating temperature than after three hours. An increased operating temperature may have a negative impact on the overall life of the one-time occurrence.

An example: An LED is advertised with “20 years service life,” the fine print refers to an average use of two hours a day. If this LED is now operated four hours per day, the total life does not fall to ten years, but at a slightly lower value.
