In Light of Gen 9:13-17, What Does God Think of Rainbow Flags?

Do they help to remind him not to flood the earth again? LGBT events must be great reminders to God, if rainbows work as pop-up reminders against world-wide floods.

Is it safe to use a cover on a light bulb?

LightClubUSA — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 13:19:38 +0000

Hello, I just bought a 3-pack of energy efficient (GE) light bulbs. The ceiling has covers for the light bulbs. Is it safe to cover energy efficient light bulbs? The light bulb ends up very close to the glass after I screw it back on. Will it over heat?

Light bulb I speak of:

Electrician Please – Outdoor lights worked…..Now They don't?

LightClubUSA — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 18:59:57 +0000

We installed 4 – 400 watt outdoor lights that have been working great for the past couple weeks. A few days ago one of the lights went out. It was replaced yesterday and some of the lights were adjusted to point at different angles and now none of the lights will come on. As I said we are running them off a generator and it has a 30 amp rv plug that we are connected to. It is running to a fusable switch/disconnect with a 30amp fuse in it and all of the lights are connected together. Could a loose ground or neutral cause all of the lights to go out? And what else could cause none of them to come on. Also, when we flip the switch the generator is bogging down but we have tested the generator and it is not the problem. Also replaced the fuse in the switch and that didn’t help. Has to be in the wiring so just need to know what could cause this so I know where to start checking. Thanks!

Is my battery going bad or is it the alternator? what is going on?

LightClubUSA — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 18:18:38 +0000

Ok. I can run my car everyday and everything works, my car starts right up and then its fine an running an doesnt just die on me but if I sit in my car for about 10 minutes with it off an play the cd player – when I try to start the car all it does is click from the starter and then I have to have a jump from someone and then its okay again. It’s like I can’t run it for more than 10 minutes with it off. and my amp an subs use to power on but now I get a Low voltage light on my amp, so I know its not getting enough power either. I took a reading on the battery today with the car off and it had 12.6V which I’m guessing means the batterys good, right? is it possible that the battery could be bad but still run my car all the time? seems weird. How can I test my alternator and battery and what else can I do myself before I goto autozone an have them test it ( which they will prolly tell me I need a new battery so that I buy it from them) Please help me out everyone.

With four 12-volt/1.5-watt outdoor fixtures: would a 120w transformer use less electricity than a 300w one?

LightClubUSA — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 18:14:23 +0000

I’m adding lighting to my outdoor steps. For the time being, I’m going to use LED lighting that is 12v/1.5watt each, but in the future I might add some landscape lighting. Does the wattage of the transformer impact the amount of electricity used? That is, if I run these four lights off of a 300 watt transformer, would it use more electricity than if I ran them off of a 120 watt one? I ask not only because I eventually might add to the transformer’s workload, but also because the price difference between the transformers is only and the 0 has better reviews.
Thanks for the info. I suspected as much, but wanted confirmation. As for the LED bulbs, the webpage (https://www.socallighting.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=SRS-502LED) that I’d be ordering the lights from doesn’t specify if they have a rectifier, but I thought boyonet sockets had them built in. Anyone know if that’s the case?

Did they change the light bulb laws in the US or just Canada ?

LightClubUSA — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:14:29 +0000

The old light bulbs — which were round and used 60 to 100 watts are being phased out in Canada –(I forget which year they will no longer be available for purchase)

As a result the old light bulbs are on sale everywhere

Ontario Hydro , top scientist David Suzuki and so on are advocating for the new energy efficient light bulbs

Suzuki has been putting the message into a Canadian format and spreading it

"Less electricity equals more beer"

The say you can save about 45 dollars a year per light bulb — so I thought make that 36 dollars a year or 3 dollar a month times 10 light bulbs –30 dollars a month or 360 per year

I have been buying them with the idea that I will save money on my next hydro bill ( more money for beer) and that I am doing something good to reduce power consumption

———– Here is the only draw back to using them I have found — there can be up to a 5 second delay when turning them on to lighting the room — other than that it appears brighter than the regular bulbs for slightly less than 1/4 of the electricity 13 watts compared to 60

Has any of this all of this or some of this het the US yet ?

I like Sukuki’s message better – but the above link is far more informative

How do I keep rabbits from chewing electrical cords on my garden lights?

LightClubUSA — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:02:41 +0000

I have a beautiful fountain that sits in a 3′ open area, cornered by a side walk on one side, the house (brick) on one side, and the backside of the shurbs on the other 2 sides. Bunnies have chewed the cords between the lights. I want to shine the lights up, and onto the fountain at night. The fountain is surrounded by about 2 feet of gravel – up to the shrubs. The solar panel is about 10 feet away and I have it "hidden" off the ground on top of the shrubs where you can’t see it, so it’s okay, but the cords that connect the 3 lights together that are 6-8" off the ground are short. I tried putting plastic tubing around them, but even hiding most of the tubing under the shrubs (the lights are around the area on the backside of the shrubs) isn’t very attractive. The cords themselves are so tiny and can be easily hidden, but the plastic tubing is so obvious & icky.

I’ve heard about human hair, but what about dog hair? I just gave the dog a cut & have tons of it!

I have a sprinkler system, so liquid repellents get washed away Hair on the gravel is going to look gross, and besides, the part they’ve chewed is about 4 inches above the ground. There are too many cords to use moth balls and a fence would look hideous next to the sidewalk.

Suggestions?

Light bulb problem (Power, Reistance Voltage…etc..)

LightClubUSA — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 16:47:56 +0000

A 3-way light bulb has 3 brightness settings (low, medium, & high), but only 2 filaments.
a.) a particular 3-way lightbulb connected across a 120-V line can dissipate 60W, 120W, or 180 W. Describe how the two filaments are arranged in the bulb, and calculate the resistance of each filament.
b.) suppose the filament w/ the higher resistance burns out. How much power will the light bulb dissipate on each of the 3 brightness settings? What will be the brightbess (l,m,h) on each setting?
c.) Repeat part b for the situation where it is the filament w/ the lover resistance that burns out.
