  • Lighting Without Power
    Lighting Without Power Kerosene and oil lamps are another option prone to accidents. The flame is contained within the lantern so it's a little safer than a candle's open flame, and the amount of light provided is better than a single candle. On the other hand, kerosene and lamp oil are highly poisonous, must be stored out of the reach of children, tend to get very hot, and need to be stored away from accidental ignition sources. [We store ours in an insulated and latched picnic cooler, which helps protect them from ignition sources and contains any mess if they are broken in an earthquake.] Propane lamps are another option, but like other liquid fuel lamps, are not recommended for indoor use because of the risk of carbon monoxide build-up. They also need a good reserve of fuel if they are your choice for an emergency. LED battery-operated lanterns or flashlights are the safest choices for emergencies. Flashlights are better for finding your way around in the dark, while battery-operated lanterns are best for ambient room light. The best models have both options built into one light. There are expensive models, but there are also very reasonable models if budget is an issue. Headlamps are a great way to be able to provide focused, hands-free task lighting. Most people don't have these, but this is probably the best bed-side emergency lighting you can have. That way, if a fire, earthquake or tornado happens, you have two free hands to crawl, move debris, administer first aid, or pick up your child as needed.

  • A. Repiort of a Joint Project Toy Hea.Lt3a Service Staff Oons-U.Lt Struts
    .A. repiort of a joint project Toy Hea.lt3a Service staff oons-u.lt struts U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE Public Health Service Division of Hospital and Medical Facilities Architectural and Engineering Branch Washington 25, D.C. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE PUBLICATION NO. 930-D-3 October 1962 For salt! by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington 25, D.C. Price 35 cents. The provision of optimum lighting conditions in patient rooms is an important element in the design of hospital and related medical facilities. In determining lighting requirements, consideration should be given not only to the patient's personal needs and comfort but also to activities which take place in the patient's room, such as nursing care, medical examinations, test procedures, and housekeeping. When this Hill-Burton Program activity was undertaken in 1956, the primary aims were to determine lighting requirements and to develop light- ing levels that might serve as criteria for illumination of patient rooms. As the study progressed, the need was recognized for enlarging the scope of the project to include a study on how the lighting requisites might be met most economically and satisfactorily for both the patient and the hospital staff. Consequently, continuation of the project was authorized on this basis; the studies are referred to as Part I and Part II. The recommendations in this report are based on an evaluation of the many problems concerning artificial illumination in patient rooms in general hospitals. The many factors which increase or lessen the reflectance or brightness of light such as wall color and luminaire design are discussed in some detail, It is hoped that the findings of these studies will he useful as guidelines for architects, engineers, and others concerned with the design of lighting systems for hospital patient rooms.

  • Energy Efficient Lighting
    Energy Efficient Lighting Electric lighting is a major energy consumer. Enormous energy savings are possible using energy efficient equipment, effective controls, and careful design. Using less electric lighting reduces heat gain, thus saving air-conditioning energy and improving thermal comfort. Electric lighting design also strongly affects visual performance and visual comfort by aiming to maintain adequate and appropriate illumination while controlling reflection and glare. Lighting is not just a high priority when considering hotel design; it is also a high- return, low-risk investment. By installing new lighting technologies, hotels can reduce the amount of electricity consumed and energy costs associated with lighting. There are several types of energy efficient lighting and affordable lighting technology. The following are a few examples of energy-saving opportunities with efficient lighting. 1. INSTALLATION OF COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS (CFLS) IN PLACE OF INCANDESCENT LAMPS. Compact Fluorescent Lamps use a different, more advanced technology than incandescent light bulbs and come in a range of styles and sizes based on brand and purpose. They can replace regular, incandescent bulbs in almost any light fixture including globe lamps for the bathroom vanity, lamps for recessed lighting, dimming, and 3-way functionality lights. CFLs use about 2/3 less energy than standard incandescent bulbs, give the same amount of light, and can last 6 to 10 times longer. CFL prices range from $4 to $15 depending on the bulb, but you save about $25 to $30 per bulb on energy during the lifetime of the bulb. When looking to purchase CFLs in place of incandescent bulbs, compare the light output, or Lumens, and not the watts.

Thenkabail Received: 10 September 2014; in revised form: 18 November 2014 / Accepted: 18 November 2014 / Published: 1 December 2014 Abstract: The high sensitivity and advanced onboard calibration on the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB) enables accurate measurements of low light radiances which leads to enhanced quantitative applications at night. The finer spatial resolution of DNB also allows users to examine social economic activities at urban scales. Given the growing interest in the use of the DNB data, there is a pressing need for better understanding of the calibration stability and absolute accuracy of the DNB at low radiances. The low light calibration accuracy was previously estimated at a moderate 15% using extended sources while the long-term stability has yet to be characterized.
