And it is HOT, too! This image was captured by holding a flashlight under this cactus flower to light up the center. The top light comes from a fluorescent camping lantern hung nearby overhead to the right.
Since this 9' tall cactus pillar blooms only once a year, I was lucky to capture images in the middle of the night, before the bees found it. There are many images on my stream of the past years' attempts to photograph this amazing desert flower. This series at present has 4 images in a row, with my favorite image being the one current on my photo stream page for Tuesday.
LED Ceiling Lighting in Singapore
Looking for LED ceiling light? The type of lighting you pick for your home can make or break the ambience you seek to achieve. Lighting is one of the most important pieces of decor as it is the most functional. Besides adding an ambience to the house, it helps to facilitate daily tasks after sunset or in areas where natural light is sparse. Certain types of lighting can also add aesthetic value to your home while creating a warm and cosy atmosphere.
The main three types of lighting are fluorescent, incandescent and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Fluorescent and incandescent lightings have been on the market for a long time but LEDs are one of the rapidly developing light technologies that have become renowned for their energy efficient qualities. LEDs are different from fluorescent and incandescent lightings because they emit almost no heat when lighted whereas incandescent and fluorescent lightings emit up to 80% of their energy as heat. LED lights can also emit different colours depending on the material it is made of.
LEDs are more popularly used residentially as recessed down lights, portable desk lighting, under-cabinet lights and holiday lights. Recessed down lights are ceiling lights that are commonly used in the living, dining and kitchen area. LEDs are directional and the light produced is like that of a flashlight, making it very suitable for lighting up rooms where many activities are performed. Besides ceiling lights, LEDs can also be used for under-cabinet lights in the kitchen or dressing area. It is estimated that residential LEDs use at least 75% less energy than incandescent lightings and last 25% longer as well. This translates to a considerably large amount of utilities savings if one were to pick LED lightings over incandescent lightings for lights that are subject to prolonged use.
Ceiling lights, also known as recessed down lights, are often used to light up big rooms such as the living or dining area or even bedrooms. Ceiling lights tend to be used for long periods of time to keep the house bright at night so that tasks can be performed with ease. Therefore the electrical consumption of such ceiling lights can chalk up pretty high each month. LEDs for ceiling lights will definitely be a better option than incandescent lightings. Moreover in humid Singapore, LED lights will be better appreciated for its low heat emission compared to incandescent lights.
It is important to perform simple maintenance on lighting fixtures every 3-6 months to keep lighting efficiency at its optimum. When lamps and bulbs start to age or when dirt starts to collect on the surfaces of lighting, overall light levels emitted from the light source can be reduced considerably although the lighting is still drawing the same amount of energy. Therefore one should remember to wipe the bulbs and surfaces of lights free of dust with a wet cloth and to change the light lenses when they start to yellow. Performing these simple maintenance procedures will ensure that your home is being lighted efficiently at all times.

The effect in a dark room, showing both the mouth and the light on the wall.
I'm so happy & bouncy Very Happy It works, it all works, and all the pieces just all came together tonight, starting with fixing the switch, and everything worked the way it should, and wow! What a good feeling that is when you can do that. :)
This picture was shot with a LED flashlight pointed down into a dark basement. I want to revisit this concept, maybe with a different kind of flashlight and addition of props.
I made 3 of them for my parents and my brother. Easy and fun. I bought kits from a guy since I was short on time but if I make more I'll order the parts myself.
It is amazing what one can do with a cheap flashlight, a beer can, 4 screws, and some silver spray paint!
My son, modeling for me for a DPChallenge shot with the theme 'busted' or 'cheater' or something like that. (See, he's supposed to be asleep, but he's reading. Right? Actually, my kids have an open-ended bedtime if they're going to read.) He used to really love helping me come up with and execute creative stuff for that site.
