		<description><![CDATA[To get a smooth  as well as  durable  surface, it is  necessary to  select 
the  appropriate priming plaster ffor your  wall surfaces.
It can be  challenging to  discover  the most effective option in South Africa because there are 
so many possibilities  available. The  adhering to advice will  assist yyou choose the best priming plaster for 
your  task.

The  very first step in selecting  the most effective priming plaster 
is tto take the surface type  right into  factor to consider.
Numerous  surface areas  require  different kinds of priming plaster.
As an example, you  require a  guide plaster that cann  fill ouut thee  spaces and  generate a smooth  coating if your  surface area is  permeable.


Think about  Sturdiness:  One more  essential  point 
to twke into account when  picking a priming plaster is  toughness.
Choose a product that caan tolerate deterioration, changes 
in  temperature level,  and also moisture. Your wakls  will certainly  make it through longeer if they aree  keyed with a 
strong plaster, rsquiring fewer  repair work  in general.


Check Out thhe Application  Technique: The application  approach is still  onee 
more crucial  aspect. Certain  guide  glues  demand to be  used using a  certain  method, like rolling 
oor spraying.  Ensure tthe priming plaster you  pick is straightforward to 
utilize and appropriatge for yokur application  method.


Compare  Costs:  Depending upon the brand and quality, priming plaster 
rates  could  differ widely. It&#039;s critical to  examine  rates 
from several vendors  and also  select a  item thhat 
matches your  demands while  keeping high standafds of quality.


Browse Reviews: Lastly, before  selecting a product, read  testimonials  created by  various other 
customers  thnat  have actually  bought it.  Evaluations  may help you learn more 
about tthe  item&#039;s  top quality, dependability, and  simpleness oof use.



Ultimately,  choosing  the most effecive priming plaster for yur project necessitates  cautious  factor to consider oof 
a  variety of variables. By using the  previously mentionerd  suggestions, you mayy choose a

		<description><![CDATA[Flicker-Free Lights, and Why They are Important to You
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/video/tips-and-solutions/flicker-free-lights-and-why-they-are-important-you

If you only shoot outside, using the sun and reflectors for light sources, it is highly unlikely that you will encounter flicker problems. However, for the rest of us, flickering light sources can become a daily headache when shooting video. What is important to remember is that most electrically generated light sources flicker in some manner, but what matters is how perceivable that flicker is when we are shooting. I can hear you thinking: “Wait, that’s not true—tungsten lights don’t flicker and neither do LED lights, because they are DC powered.” Now, while that may be true for many applications, it is not always the case. Read on to see how to avoid having flicker ruin your day.

Under normal conditions, tungsten bulbs don’t flicker on video, but there are times they will 

As you increase the camera’s frame rates, or run off speed, you end up with frames that don’t have a consistent number of light pulses per frame, and these frames will exhibit flicker. 

At this point you may be thinking, “I don’t shoot high speed (above 100/120 fps), and I’m using fluorescent lights anyway, and these don’t flicker.” If you are thinking this way, then you may be surprised to find out that flicker can be even worse with standard fluorescent lights than with tungsten lights

For many years, in the US, the common setup for shooting under fluorescent lights was to use a 180-degree shutter and shoot at 24 or 30 fps. 

A standard US household fluorescent light turns completely on and off 120 times a second

n reality your camera is probably running at either 29.97 or 59.94 frames/fields per second (and not a true 30 or 60)

However, if you are shooting at variable frame rates, or high speed, especially at frame rates that don’t easily divide into 60 (in the US) you are likely going to encounter flicker problems. To avoid this, you want to stay away from using household fluorescent fixtures, because they usually have very inexpensive ballasts, which have a very low flicker rate. You want to use “Flicker-Free” fixtures, which flicker at up to 250,000 times a second (250,000 Hz), such as Kino Flo or, if you are trying to light your scene using practical bulbs, you can try Lowel compact fluorescent bulbs

This brings us to LED lighting, which can be powered by either Alternating Current (AC), or Direct Current (DC). LEDs that are powered by AC power supplies that step-down household voltage to levels appropriate for LED lights will exhibit similar frame-rate flicker issues as fluorescent lights. Most, if not all, LED light fixtures for video production are DC powered, either through a coax power input or batteries, which would seem to make these units flicker free. However, when powering an LED light from an AC outlet using an AC/DC power supply, you may run into a problem.

Another consideration, when working with LED lights, is dimming. Dimming a light can cause problems across tungsten, fluorescent, and LED lighting. 

Dimming an LED light is often accomplished using a method known as Pulse Width Modulation, which works by cutting the power to the LED, essentially introducing off periods to the LED. This causes the light to be less bright over time by pulsing the LED. If the pulses happen rapidly enough, they are undetectable to the human eye and camera. Nonetheless, as with fluorescent lights, you now have a light source that is flickering. If the pulses don’t align with your frame rate, then your footage can show flickering, even if it is not noticeable to your eye.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Opening and test of my new 20W LED bench lights.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kd49T0ZxNU

Well this turned out bad!  I spent a lot of time deliberating on what sort of lights to get for my workbench that would provide good working light and also work well with a camera.  I chose two 20W cold white floodlights for the intensity and the high colour temperature.
The lights arrived and I decided to do a video showing the insides and it all went wrong from there.
These &quot;20W&quot; lights contain a 10W power supply and the LED array looks like it has smaller chips than usual.  Or in other words, the light is not 20W at all.  Worse still was that some other 10W lights I got at the same time are actually around 4W actual power and appear to have a generic 3W power supply for 3 x 1W LED

LED = Light Emitting Disappointment...﻿]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Report: LEDs Cut 570 Million Tons of CO2 in &#039;17 
https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1332777 

SAN FRANCISCO — The efficiency of LEDs compared to traditional incandescent and fluorescent lighting is one of the most highly touted benefits of the technology. According to a new report by IHS Markit, the use of LEDs to light buildings and outdoor spaces reduced the total carbon dioxide emissions of lighting by some 570 million tons in 2017.
This reduction, roughly equivalent to 162 coal-fired power plants, enabled LED component and lighting companies to reduce the global carbon footprint by about 1.5 percent this year, IHS Markit (London) estimates.

Fox added: &quot;Unlike in other industry sectors, workers at LED companies can honestly say that by selling more of their products, they are helping to reduce global warming.&quot; 

LED lighting uses an average of about 40 percent less power than fluorescent  and 80 percent less than incandescents]]></description>
