Mustached Demon posted:Please tell me they do this to appease idiot boomers who complained about incandescents being phased out. led filament bulbs are created to look visually similar to incandescent bulbs when switched on, yes The fadeout from the capacitor is mostly an engineering thing - AC power inherently "switches off" several times a second, but you don't want your leds to be doing that and acting like a strobe light. You have a capacitor in the power supply so that if the power is still on, the led stays on until the next AC peak arrives.

SuddenCactus posted:Why do we not have drones that can do this yet? A drone platform that can carry enough weight to be useful for the job would cost quite a bit before you even started building the actual drone and testing it, and you'd still have to pay someone to operate it, probably more than you'd pay the painter. It would also likely malfunction at some point and cause expensive damage coming down.

Mr. Fix It posted:i like the filament aesthetic, honestly Yeah same. Also theyre much less directional than SMD LED bulbs which is a really nice thing. The dubai/long life versions are also very nice, roughly 1.5x the number of filaments running at a lower voltage so they last longer, and they produce a very even spread of light.

It would also likely malfunction at some point and cause expensive damage coming down. Attach the hose to the drone and keep the paint elsewhere. Hell, you can probably even use the same system with a platform hanging off a pulley that the drone can move with. You could probably set up a system where you can control the drone and raise/lower the platform with the same interface. It’ll be more expensive than just hiring a person to do it, but you won’t need to have some dipshit hanging 200 feet above certain death

It's literally inventing a drone solution to a problem that doesn't exist - if you don't want to pay someone to hang off a roof, get a skylift that can reach it.

Fill one of those firefighting planes they use for forest fires with paint and just splash the entire building from the sky. It's the only way to be sure.

holtemon posted:Was it a dry tree? Or do those burn just as fast as one that's been soaking up water from the tray thing? Oh, it was an old dry tree. Fresh, well-watered trees are still loaded with dry pine needles; once they ignite & start cooking the ‘fresh’ needles (that are loaded with sap) the sap starts boiling & once that lights, it’s a hotter, more durable fire than a dried-out tree. I still use a live tree.

Boy am I glad that the CFL era is over. Those things sucked total rear end. I like the vintage style yellow filament LED bulbs a lot. I have several of them in lamps that I use at night when I want the light to be gentle and calming. They aren't great for when you need bright crisp lighting for detailed work, but for that I have some daylight tone 100 watt equivalent LED bulbs in task lamps. LEDs are great.

I'm working in a new ultra-modern factory, and it has both blinding blue LEDs, and light tubes to let sunlight in, which are filtered to he the same stark blue-white. Sagebrush posted:Boy am I glad that the CFL era is over. Those things sucked total rear end. Amen, "dimmable" CFLs were also complete bullshit, they never worked right. Also the less mercury in my lightbulbs the better, from an OSHA perspective.

I'd go the opposite direction, I don't like that clinical blue-light in my home lighting at all. I've vastly preferred the softer LED bulbs, including the fake filament ones. Also blue light is bad for your circadian rhythm at night.

Sagebrush posted:Me too. Orange light bouncing off the snow at night is absolutely magical. For me the nostalgia comes from mercury vapor lamps. Where I grew up and in more rural areas in general you'd always find these lights dominating for some reason, then in more urban areas the lamps would turn orange. I think there are still a lot of mercury vapor lamps around here and there, they have the same light profile and aren't LEDs.
