A little video of Galen's finished "Slumlord" sign. I bent the neon for him, and some of his sign painter buddies helped with the paint design.
Galen wears the "Slumlord" badge with pride- refusing to raise rent on his property in the rapidly gentrifying Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma. The piece is inspired by another landlord with a coin operated gas meter on the stove (quarters for cooking time).
We love the clickity clackety of the mechanical incandescent bulb flasher in there- Galen mounted it so the whole metal "can" acts as an "amplifier". Galen loves anything mechanical. It was way fun being his Teachers Assistant for the class.
The ruby red glass in this came from Chihuly "Studio 1" in Tacoma (long since moved to Seattle)

acá hay un breve pero buen resumen de los diferentes tipos de lámparas --» https://www.safetylightsandsignals.com/p-1340-bulb-type-differences-for-safety-beacons-and-signals.aspx #lámparas #bulb #incandescent #xenon #krypton

There is a remaining #incandescent #lamp in the identically sized kitchen next to the toilet - I thought I would try an experiment with a #luxmeter and compare the amount of light.
Both readings were taken from floor level, directly below the lamp (exposure on the camera turned down, or else the luxmeter display is unreadable in the photo) - the #LED is only twice as bright as the incandescent lamp, but subjectively seems a lot brighter... #lighting
Not-so-fun fact about being #Neurodivergent... Having sensory issues with lighting, and having low-wattage #incandescent light bulbs be banned, while #BigOilAndGas make obscene profits and do nothing to plug up #MethaneLeaks! (In fact, they want to dig up more holes -- in the #DeepOcean!).
TPTB love to tell us to eat vegan or drive less or stop using #incandescent light bulbs, when the BIG PROBLEM is being caused by #BigOil and #BigGas!
#Methane is a more potent polluter than #CO2 - here’s how energy firms can help contain it
Oct 26, 2021
"Methane is a #GreenhouseGas that’s 80 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. It is estimated to account for 30% of the rise in global temperatures."

World Economic ForumHow energy firms can stop leaking methane into atmosphereLeaks from coal, oil and natural gas extraction and processing are responsible for a third of all methane. Governments can get on board to cut methane levels down.
I bought an analogue panel meter recently that reads up to 60V DC full scale deflection. These are super handy for monitoring the supply rails in my #strowger #telephoneExchanges
What I love about this one is the tiny wee screw base lamps it uses for the scale illumination!
So smol!
