The best lighting choices for a utility room are ones that illuminate it well and allow you to get your chores and cleaning jobs done succesfully. What is the best lighting for a laundry room? To make them even more functional install a dimmer switch to enable a change of warmth and brightness for the space. Covering the entirety of the room and not taking up any valuable space, it's easy to see why this humble lighting design is so highly favoured. Whether you are thinking about creating a home theater, or upgrading or modifying an existing one, there are many ways to use lighting to help create a beautiful and functional home theater.Spotlights are the faithful, functional lighting choice that never fails. You can even use them with existing light bulbs. Smart lighting also includes switches and dimmers, giving you more control over your lighting fixtures. They can incorporate motion and light sensors that will automatically turn on and off.You can create a mood with pre-set and customized light scenes at the press of a button.The bulbs can be automated and configured individually or as a group.They use less energy than light bulbs, last longer, and generate less heat.Smart LED lights can be dimmed via an app or smart accessories.Here are a few more advantages of smart lighting: There are many benefits to smart lighting for your home theater beyond letting you control your lights automatically as well as remotely. A smart lighting system is easily retrofittable and even something you can install yourself. Recent advances in technology have improved the capabilities and benefits of smart lighting. The technology gives you more control over your lights by allowing you to control them wirelessly via your smartphone, tablet, or smart assistants such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Smart LED bulbs are made with software that can connect to an app or other smart accessory, enabling you to automate your lights and control them remotely and even by voice, eliminating the need for wall switches. If you are familiar with smart home technology, you are probably aware of how it can increase your lighting’s scope and functionality. Gone are the days of the traditional light bulb. You can design interesting color combinations, or use them to help create a theme. They are available with fun features, such as changing colors, dimmable settings, and even the ability to sync to music, and can be controlled with a compatible remote. You can string them practically anywhere, including under your entertainment console, around the ceiling, under seats, and behind screens. Because they are not tied to a lightbulb holder, the strips can be cut up and strung to fit objects of any size. The lightweight strips, which are almost invisible, are flexible and hold dozens of tiny bulbs. You should always use LED lights that do not generate any heat. They are far more efficient than traditional lightbulbs and give off a subtle glow rather than a bright light. LED strip lighting offers soft accents without completely overwhelming the space or calling attention to itself. There are so many more ways you can use LED lights as decorative detailing. We mentioned LED lights in our previous article, recommending that they can be used to map pathways, highlight steps and risers, and line floorboards. ![]() In this article, we offer you tips on what’s hot in 2022 to make your home theater the best it can be with creative lighting. ![]() In “Starry ceilings & beyond/The magic behind home theater lighting”, we described the different types of lighting you can use in your home theater, from overhead lights to wall sconces. Get atmospheric with dimmers and switches.Create a home theater lighting control center.We’ve already revealed some of the secrets to lighting control in our article, “Making a scene/The Secrets to home theater lighting control”, which offers the following tips: Your home theater might have the most comfortable seating in town, a state-of-the-art sound system, and a projection screen with the best resolution that money can buy, but without the perfect lighting, it’s missing a critical element of home theater design.

![]() Thanks for the feedback - striking a balance between advanced capabilities for our power users and ease of use for less experienced users is one of the core focuses of our team. Keep adding more features that are a mere redundancy for sure doesn’t help. Also keeping this software simple and powerful is one of its great appeals. Using the machine and all consumables much more efficiently should be the goal not the other way around. Instead of keep adding support columns we need to go less support columns while maintaining dependability and repeatability of parts. The guys over at Formlabs have the experience and should know where to go with their already good software. Of course support columns are a necessity but not the ultimate cure for failed parts. We need to push the software into the right direction not going off into space. In general Preform tends to overcompensate on support columns but it seems more so with the newer, updated versions of Preform. Whoever cares about surface quality, speed and the most efficient way of using consumables eventually won’t be using default anymore and for sure not this feature as a guide. It seems to promote maximum amount of support, which causes maximum waste of resin, use of tank and all consumables while adding more building time…I doubt that’s what Formlabs wants to promote here. What is the idea behind this printability feature? Needless to say the parts came out perfectly fine as they should with their original setting. In short they would be a complete failure if I didn’t add more support columns - I mean much more support columns…!? Loading them into the updated preform software they lit up like there was no tomorrow using the printability check. Talking about my own stash of models and parts, which have been built successfully with even the Form 1+, when loading those into the latest versions of Preform they all - without any exception - will fail according to the new printability feature. So much the printability feature will be happy with the result, making it - obsolete. Just by default alone the program will add so much support it’ll be way beyond the “Safety Zone”. If one is just starting out or doesn’t care about the core problem (proper rotation/orientation) the default setting is good to have. The software is already powerful enough to show everyone whenever more support is needed, making the printability feature obsolete. ![]() PRINTABILITY feature…WOW! have the guys over at Formlabs gotten that one sideways! However some of the most recent updates have added “features” that are more than questionable. I’ve always liked the software, it’s simple (to use), intuitive and powerful. If the item or substance doesn’t fit any of these categories, then it cannot be affected by this feat. If the item or substance doesn’t deal damage and doesn’t have a specific listed duration (or has an instantaneous duration), double all dimensions of its area. If the item or substance doesn’t deal damage, double the duration of its effect. If the item or substance deals damage, double the damage dealt. Whenever creating an alchemical item or substance, you can choose to make it more powerful than normal by adding +20 to the DC required to create it and multiplying its price by 5. You gain a +1 natural armor bonus to Armor Class, or your existing natural armor bonus increases by 1. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of wearable magic item. Without this feat, you are limited to one headband, hat, or helmet one pair of eye lenses or goggles one cloak, cape, or mantle one amulet, brooch, medallion, necklace, periapt, or scarab one suit of armor one robe one vest, vestment, or shirt one pair of bracers or bracelets one pair of gloves or gauntlets two rings one belt and one pair of boots. You can now wear one more magic item of this type and also gain its benefit. ![]() Likewise, when a feat allows a spellcaster to “pay” one less level to use a metamagic feat, the psionic version allows a character to pay 2 power points less for a given metapsionic feat.įeats Additional Magic Item Space BenefitĬhoose one type of magic item that has a limit on the number you can simultaneously wear and gain its benefit. For every spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level the metamagic feat requires, the metapsionic feat requires a character to pay a power point cost equal to its standard cost +2. It also requires a little math-instead of casting a spell at a higher level, a psionic character pays more power points. Translating epic metamagic feats to epic metapsionic feats requires that Spellcraft prerequisites be replaced with Psicraft. Sometimes this translation is as straightforward as changing a few names. Whenever a feat concerns conferring or altering a spell in some fashion, some translation must be done to use it with psionics. Some feats require so much translation that converted feats are provided. Psionic characters can acquire epic “psionically flavored” feats. These feats require the character to have the ability to use wild shape before acquiring the feat. The feats in this category share the characteristic of relating to the ability to use wild shape as a druid. Since turning or rebuking is a standard action, activating any of these feats is also a standard action. If a character doesn’t have any turn/rebuke attempts left, he or she can’t use the feat. Each use of a divine feat costs the character one turn/rebuke attempt from his or her number of attempts each day. (An ability to turn other creatures does not qualify a character to select one of these feats.) Second, the force that powers a divine feat is the ability to channel positive or negative energy to turn or rebuke undead. Thus, they are open to clerics, paladins of 4th level or higher, and any prestige class that has that ability. First, they all have as a prerequisite the ability to turn (or, in most cases, rebuke) undead. The feats in this category share a few characteristics. In addition, some feats are defined as divine feats or as wild feats. ![]() Others may be item creation feats or metamagic feats, which follow all the normal rules for such feats, except as specified in the feat’s description. Most epic feats are general, meaning that no special rules govern them as a group. ![]() A character can’t use an epic feat if he or she has lost a prerequisite. A prerequisite expressed as a numerical value is a minimum any value higher than the one given also meets the prerequisite. A character can gain an epic feat at the same level at which he or she gains the prerequisite, just as with regular feats. A character must have the listed ability score, feat, skill, class feature, or base attack modifier in order to select or use that feat. These feats must be selected from the list of bonus epic feats for that class. ![]() Characters gain epic feats in the following ways:Īt 21st level, and every three levels thereafter, the character may select an epic feat in place of a nonepic feat.Įach character class gains bonus epic feats according to the class description. ![]() Although platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music allow users to do the same, these platforms are more suited to downloading and sharing known music. Pandora is always on the hunt for music that hasn’t reached the mainstream music scene, it’s much better to discover new music. If you are after a budget-friendly music streaming platform, definitely consider downloading Pandora Music. Unlike Apple Music and Tidal, the basic version of Pandora Radio is free. ![]() If you haven’t signed up for Spotify Premium yet – what are you waiting for?! Sign up now to enjoy unlimited ad-free music, anywhere! Although Pandora Radio Free might not be as widespread as Spotify or Apple Music, it was one of the first music discovery platforms on the market. Pandora Radio Vs Other Music Streaming Servicesīy now you’re probably wondering which music streaming platform is the best. Plus the standard streaming features, Pandora Premium also creates unique playlists for subscribers. This allows subscribers to listen to an unlimited amount of songs and create personalised playlists. In early 2017 Pandora launched Pandora Premium. ![]() Additional features include downloading music and listening to music offline. This gives users access to unlimited playlists at a much higher audio quality. The third option is Pandora Premium at $9.99 a month. This subscription also allows users to subscribe to up to 4 different radio stations. With a Pandora Plus subscription, subscribers can replay an unlimited number of tracks an infinite amount of times. Then the next variation is Pandora Plus, costing $4.99 a month. Pandora Free music is complete without charge to sign up however there are ads that break up the songs. Users can also alter their Pandora Radio settings to display or filter out explicit content. A second thumbs down on a track from a particular artist will completely remove the artist from this selection. If you dislike a certain song or give it a thumbs down, similar songs will be removed from the random selection. For example, if you give a song a thumbs up, Pandora will suggest similar songs based on these likes. skipping or replaying, radio Pandora changes. Users can also create their own stations based on the music they like listening to which others can tune into.īased on how users interact with certain songs, i.e. Most Pandora music users uncover new music by tuning in to one of Pandora’s existing music genre stations or other Pandora users’ stations. The standard version of Pandora is a non-interactive streaming radio-like experience and operates very similarly to other music streaming services. Since launching in 2005, Pandora radio has grown from having roughly 50,000 songs to over 1 million. The way in which Pandora Radio free delivers personalised music and podcasts based on data is what makes this service different.Įxamples of the hundreds of attributes that go into forming focus traits include vocal harmonies, rhythm syncopation, and key tonality. When this happens, algorithms embedded within the Music Genome Project present users with similar types of music. Many Pandora subscribers discover new music when searching for a particular artist. This internet radio station relies on automated software. Pandora radio differs in many ways from traditional stations. ![]() ![]() ![]() With the new version, however, the framework follows the same ordering rules that we indicated earlier for. Previously, the order in which they were added was based on the profile activation order. It's also worth mentioning that YAML files do not support the annotation, so if we need to use this annotation, it would constrain us to using a properties file.Īnother remarkable point is that in version 2.4.0 Spring Boot changed the way in which properties are loaded from multi-document YAML files. Url: jdbc:postgresql:/localhost:5432/instance Is synonymous with the following YAML file: database: YAML is particularly good for hierarchical property storage the following property file: database.url=jdbc:postgresql:/localhost:5432/instance Note that for properties files, the three-dashes notation is preceded by a comment character ( #). Since version 2.4.0, Spring Boot supports using multi-document properties files, similarly as YAML does by design: baeldung.customProperty=defaultValue This comes in handy when we have multiple sources of configuration properties. This way, Spring Boot will look for configuration files matching the config/*/ directory pattern outside of our jar file. We can also configure a different file at runtime if we need to, using an environment property: java -jar app.jar =classpath:/another-location.propertiesĪs of Spring Boot 2.3, we can also specify wildcard locations for configuration files.įor example, we can set the property to config/*/: java -jar app.jar =config/*/ So, by using this default file, we don’t have to explicitly register a PropertySource or even provide a path to a property file.

![]() The lux value determined can be used to determine whether certain areas are sufficiently well lit. The further away the area is from the light source, the lower the illuminance. The illuminance is 1 lux if a luminous flux of 1 lumen falls uniformly on an area of 1 m².Īnother formula for calculating illuminance at greater distances is as follows: Lux = luminous intensity / radius or distance squared Illuminance is calculated with the following formula: Lux = luminous flux / area. The value lux is purely a receiver quantity. Lux indicates how much luminous flux (lumen) of a light source arrives per unit area of a receiver surface. It is a measure of the brightness with which an area is illuminated. Lux provides information about the illuminance. From this, conclusions can be drawn about the luminous intensity.Ī standard candle, for example, emits a luminous intensity of 1 cd, i.e., it emits about 12 lumens (lm) in all directions. This creates a luminous intensity distribution curve. If the calculation according to the above formulae is not possible for the lamp, a light measurement can be carried out with an integrating sphere and a spectrometer. If the solid angle is not known, but only the beam angle, this can be determined with a conversion formula: Luminous intensity = luminous flux / solid angle. The units of luminous flux are lumens, for the solid angle it is steradians. The value of the luminous- or light intensity is given in candela. To determine the luminous intensity of a lamp, you need the luminous flux and the beam angle or solid angle. The luminous intensity of the lamp with the smaller beam angle is higher than that of the lamp with the wider beam angle. The diagram shows two lamps with the same luminous flux (lumen) but different beam angles. The more focused the light is emitted, the more intense it is. The luminous intensity or its candela value indicates how intensively the light is emitted. The beam angle indicates the angle at which the light is emitted by the lamp. Lamps with the same luminous flux can have completely different luminous intensities due to their beam angle. Luminous intensity is an important value for comparing different lamps. As an example, the luminous intensity of a candle is approximately one candela. What is the metric unit used for measuring luminous intensity? Candela (cd) is the metric unit of luminous intensity. The luminous intensity therefore indicates how concentrated the light is or what density the emitted light has. It relates the light flux to the beam angle of a light source. Light intensity is one of the photometric quantities. Since the radiation behavior of an optical signaling device is not only determined by the light source but also by the design of the domes, the luminous intensity is best suited to characterize the signaling effect of optical signaling devices. The luminous intensity is a photometric value that describes the radiation of light emitted in a certain direction. What is light intensity (candela definition)? Exemplary lumen values: Fluorescent tube (48 Watt)Įxamples of the luminous efficacy of different lamps: Incadescent lamps The higher the value, the more efficient a light source is. It is the ratio of lumens to power or watts, so it is measured in lumen per watt (lm/W) in the International System of Units (SI). The luminous efficacy is a measure that indicates how efficient a light source is. Compact fluorescent lamp/energy-saving lamp: with 15 W electrical power: luminous flux Φ = 900 lm Incandescent lamp with 15 W electrical power: luminous flux Φ = 90 lm Two examples of typical luminous flux values: ![]() Short wavelengths are termed ultraviolet and longer waves are termed infrared. How bright and colourful the human eye can perceive a light depends on the wavelength of the radiation and the intensity with which the radiation hits the retina. When visible light is emitted, this is also called luminescence. Light is created when energy is converted. They travel in waves and transmit energy impulses. Light consists of photons, also called light particles. The total luminous flux emitted by a light source over a certain period of time. The ratio of emitted luminous flux to required electrical power. The measure for the impression of brightness of a surface, perceived by the human eye. The measure for the light that arrives at a receiver surface. Gives information about how much light is radiated in a certain direction. The measure for the total amount of light emitted by a light source. The following table provides an overview of the most important photometric quantities and units: Photometrische Größe In light measurement, a distinction is made between various photometric quantities by which the unit of light intensity can be evaluated.

The line, "the bigger the headache the bigger the pill, the bigger the doctor the bigger the bill" was said to be influenced by similar lines from Parliament-Funkadelic in the mid-'70s including the line "the bigger the headache, the bigger the pill" in "Dr.Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)", "welcome to radio station W-E-F-U-N-K, better known as WE-FUNK." Wilson's spoken intro, "this is radio station W-GAP", was a reference to Parliament's opening line in "P.The humorous monologues throughout the song by Gap Band lead singer Charlie Wilson were inspired by his cousin Bootsy Collins' own humorous slant in his songs.The song, which runs for nearly nine minutes in the full 12" single version, features a driving bass-line with a simple repeated E-G-A-B pattern. ![]() The single became an international hit for the group upon its late 1979 release, though it failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100 (peaking at number-one on its Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart), the song hit the top ten on the US R&B and disco charts and became a big-seller overseas where it peaked at number six in the UK in 1980 and number six in the Netherlands. In 1987, a 12" remix was released in the UK with a Dub version B-side (UK Club records JABX54). It was later released once again as the B-side to some copies of the remix version of "Party Lights" (Mercury Records 12" MERX37). Then in 1980, due to its popularity, was flipped and re-titled with just "The Boys Are Back In Town" as the B-Side (Mercury Records 7" MER22 / 12" MERX22). In the UK the track first surfaced in mid-late 1979 as the B-side of the 12" release of "The Boys Are Back In Town" / "Steppin' (Out)" (Mercury Records MERX2). In France, the single was a 7" with no B-side. In the Netherlands, the 12" B-side was "The Boys Are Back in Town". In the United States, it was a 12" with the B-side being "Party Lights". The single was released in several countries in different formats.
