Isn't turning lights on and off way worse for their lifespan than just keeping them on as well?

My Lovely Horse posted:Isn't turning lights on and off way worse for their lifespan than just keeping them on as well? I think that largely depends on the type of bulb, and how it starts. For instance, it's a very real concern with fluorescent tubes, but there are a couple ways to ignite those and one is easier on the bulb than the other. But I forget the specifics. But if the bulb in question is just a simple LED (without a bunch of fancy electronics that might fail on their own) then turning it on and off real fast is precisely how you control the brightness of the thing, like flipping that switch ten thousand times a second, and it's harmless.

DirtRoadJunglist posted:The best part: She had dogs. Might as well have left the lights on all night. Yeah to expand on my post, my closet it's the room my dogs aren't allowed in. My living room has a motion sensing dimmer and is left on ”off while occupied" (so we can leave the lights off during movies, but they turn on automatically after we leave the room for 15 minutes), and I can always tell if the dogs are on the couch because the lights click on when I pull into the driveway and my dogs give me the "wasn't on the couch" face while stretching.

canyoneer posted:http://www.centennialbulb.org/ The Centennial Bulb has lasted so long not so much because it is never turned off, but because it has a long, thick filament running at low temperature. It will glow for a long time, but it’s a faint orange glow. A modern incandescent bulb would be much brighter for the same power consumption. A bulb with half the lifetime (still 56+ years) would be four times brighter.

Bad Munki posted:
That's the power supply to the diode array itself, not the power supply to the electronics package that performs the PWM modulation. If you try using a non-dimmable LED bulb in a circuit with an LED dimmer, then that PWM is pretty likely to fry the driver. For incandescents, switching on and off is bad because it's a nonlinear resistance; when the filament is cold the resistance is much lower than when the filament is high, so when you turn it on there's a rush of current until the filament heats up. it's going to go from a few ohms to a few hundred ohms, so that initial peak current is much higher than the steady-state the bulb is lifed at.

So that's why when incandescents burn out it usually happens immediately after you turn them on. Neat.

Facebook Aunt posted:Where do you think clay comes from? Days late here, but what I meant was that I'm sure there is all sorts of different types of clay and i know it comes out of the ground. Clay that this guy dug out of his backyard may not exactly be the clay you use for big rear end doors to cover your furnace. I don't really know about clay specs though.

Clay that this guy dug out of his backyard may not exactly be the clay you use for big rear end doors to cover your furnace. I don't really know about clay specs though. You are absolutely correct. Ceramicists sometimes dig their own clay, but they need to be selective of what they're digging up and do it in a fairly controlled way, and then subject the clay to various processes in order to get a consistent and usable result. A door has to open and close, so it's subject to mechanical stresses; it has to be more carefully made than, say, decorative tile. A thick slab of clay is very likely to explode in a kiln: the processes used to make thick-walled ceramics require even more control and care. The most important factor in that process is the firing: often a "bisque" firing is done first, at relatively low temperature, to drive out all moisture; only then is a second "high" fire done to get your ceramic to vitrify and turn into a hard and durable mass. It's evident Mr Wooden Oven had no idea what the gently caress he was doing. I encourage anyone to be enthusiastic and try poo poo, but his plan for his wood oven fired hand-dug clay doors had zero chance of working out even if he hadn't burned down the oven and melted his house.
