Radiation from LED's is causing problems in medical marijuana plants. Humans will be next if the curse is ever applied to a large population. So far it is only affecting tokers.

LOL! gaddamn it! leave the plant outta this.


long live the plant!

smells good and it's sticky!

fattrad asks:
How is the cold fusion project going??????

of course, it isn't cold fusion, but rather hot fusion... 3 keV temperature or 34 million ºC (60 million ºF)

and apropos of this thread, a commercial reactor built like what we are doing will need to take advantage of those high power IR LED's to generate electricity... they would replace the flash lamp technology which limits the laser power...

Hey this IS an American company.
That is if you can count Texas as part of America.

New Petzl 'NAO' headlamp automatically adjusts beam width and brightness levels for conditions. Price unknown.

Some nice climbing shots in the vid.

Over in the developing world where I spend a few months in the winter, Incandescent bulbs are long gone everywhere. Energy costs money and the price of Energy is going to keep rising, baring a new technology miracle

WE have to get used to change

Dr F - take a break from your buggering sheep fantasies and check out
this fine example of capitalism and entrepreneurial spirit.

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/12/upset_about_big_brothers_ban_on_incandescent_bulbs_buy_a_heatball.html

What's a heatball? According to this Teutonic Knight of Freedom and Light,
it is a "small heating device" that compensates for the loss of heat a
home experiences when conventional light bulbs are swapped for more
energy efficient ones.


...Although a heatball is technically very similar to a light bulb,
it is a heater rather than a source of light...

..."During its use as a heater, HEATBALLS have an unavoidable emission of light in the visible spectrum." Pity that. But if heatballs are anything at all like incandescent light bulbs, they should be very efficient little space heaters, indeed.

Saving the world should be secondary to quality bright light. Another vote for incandescents, made in the USA.

Sadly Werner, no, they are not going to save the world. How can they save the world when they can't even save themselves?

You guys are so pessimistic. I'm saving the world one little piece at a time. Each day I put a little in my storage shed. It maybe getting full, but everything you will need in the next life is in there. I have an incandescent bulb in there & still need my LED headlamp.

how does non-ionizing electromagnetic (EM) radiation lead to any biological effects?

no study done has seen any...

in particular, workers producing aluminum are subject to relatively large EM fields and show no adverse effects.

many other studies indicate the same.

The science does not support the contention that EM fields are harmful in any way.

Is there a point to that picture and caption? All lights emit EMR by definition(visible light being part of the electromagnetic spectrum). Duh.

If in fact those readings are real, that would be low frequency radiation in the radio range. Can you actually link to any peer-reviewed papers showing that such radiation at the levels emitted by light bulbs can cause any of the symptoms listed?
