      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/2014-mercedes-benz-s-class-to-be-all-led/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This Fall Mercedes will release their 2014 Benz S Class which will contain only LED lights. &nbsp;Prior to this car, models had come out which used LED lighting here or there, but this will be the first mass produced vehicle without a single incandescent bulb on it. &nbsp;The car is fitted with 490 LED lights which are found in the dash, on the ceiling of the car, and of course in the head and tail lights.</p>
<p>Their are multiple benefits to using solely LED in the car. &nbsp;First off the lights will likely never need to be changed since their life expectancy is 3 times that of the average car. &nbsp;Using all LEDs also causes better gas mileage because it takes much less energy to run the lights that it did with conventional headlights. &nbsp;The LEDs also have a faster response time. &nbsp;Tests show that the faster response yields 15 extra feet of reaction time when driving at 75 mph. &nbsp;</p>
<p>There are a few more advanced features that come with using all LEDs. &nbsp;The lights can shine at varying intensities, so the tail lights are fitted to change in intensity so as not to blind people at the rear during high "stop and go" traffic times. &nbsp;And the European S Class is made to have its brights on most of the time, but uses motorized masks to block the light from blinding oncoming traffic etc.</p>
<p>With the smaller size of the LEDs as well, car makers are changing the face of car design. &nbsp;We at ALightingStore.com love to see how much our industry impacts and improves on other industries.</p>

      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/james-turrell-skyspace-at-rice-university/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>James Turrell is in American artist who &nbsp;uses light as an artform. &nbsp;</p>
<p><span>&ldquo;LIGHT is this thing we usually use to illuminate other things,&rdquo; Turrell says. &nbsp;<span>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m interested that light has thingness itself, so it&rsquo;s not something that reveals something about other things you&rsquo;re looking at, but it becomes a revelation in itself.&rdquo;</span><br /></span></p>
<p><span>Turrell graduated from college in 1965 with a degree in perceptual psychology and concentrated studies in art, math, and astronomy.</span></p>
<p><span>He has museums and exhibits all over the world where he uses light as an art form, as opposed to an illumination tool to bring light to other things.</span></p>
<p><span>One of his most famous exhibits is the skyspace. &nbsp;This exhibit has been recreated in many locations from California, to Chicago, to Texas, to Florida, to England and more.</span></p>
<p><span>Rice University is one of the locations where the skyspace is present. &nbsp;Watch this video and experience the genius that Turrell possesses to create such awe inspiring art installations.</span></p>

      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/lighting-to-make-simon-cowell-slimmer/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Light is used for many noble causes-- assisting the doctor who performs open heart surgery on a small baby, keeping the streets safe at &nbsp;night, illuminating a labratory where scientists work to find cures for deathly diseases, and, of course, helping Simon Cowell look slimmer.</p>
<p>The Irish Examiner reported that Simon Cowell, current Judge on 'Britain's Got Talent', uses a booster seat to look taller on the show, and also uses a panel of four lights that shine down on him when he is giving his opinion of the different contestants.</p>
<p>Apparently the lights give him a 'healthy glow' and slim down his face by keeping his face from casting shadows.</p>
<p>Although this isn't in any way noble, it is another example of how lighting is used in so many facets of life for so many different purposes.</p>
<p>Our inventory at ALightingStore.com doesn't contain 'face slimming' lights... but we do have anything you could want for indoor and outdoor lighting. &nbsp;From <a href="http://www.alightingstore.com/by-lighting/indoor-lighting/chandeliers.html">chandeliers</a>, to <a href="http://www.alightingstore.com/well-light-78.html">faux rock landscape lighting</a>, to <a href="http://www.alightingstore.com/search/?q=led+exit+sign">LED exit signs</a>... we have it all. &nbsp; But if you want 'face slimmers', you'll have to ask Mr. Cowell himself how to get them. &nbsp;We apologize for the inconvenience.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[New Glass Coating Could Reduce Lighting Bill]]></title><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/new-glass-coating-could-reduce-lighting-bill/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Recently there has been such a focus on saving money by increasing light efficiency, but few researchers have focused on other ways to lower electricity bills. &nbsp;Two Oregon university research teams along with industry professionals are now changing that. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Oregon BEST awarded a grant to the research teams to develop a new window coating that would decrease electricity bills. &nbsp;The new coating is supposed to cut heat transfer through the window glass, while simultaneously letting more natural light in through the window.</p>
<p>The researchers say that each side of a piece of plain glass reduces the entry of visible light by 4%. &nbsp;So on a double-pane window, 16% of available light is being blocked from entering the room.</p>
<p>The coating would not only let more of this light in, but it would also help regulate the heat transfer that happens at windows. &nbsp;This would keep the warmth out when you didn't want it, and keep the cold from getting in during winter months as well.</p>
<p><span>&ldquo;If you were to put the coating we&rsquo;re developing on all the architectural glass out there, you would save hundreds of millions of dollars in electricity currently used for lighting,&rdquo; said one researcher. &nbsp;<span>&ldquo;We are confident that our combination of chemical engineering and nanostructures will allow us to attain an unprecedented infrared-to-visible light ratio.&rdquo;</span><br /></span><br /><br /></p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[HOA Sees Value in Efficient Lighting]]></title><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/hoa-sees-value-in-efficient-lighting/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Businesses and private homeowners alike have progressively been seeing the benefits of switching their lighting from old forms of bulbs to new, energy efficient bulbs which take less power to operate.</p>
<p>In private homes it's easy to make the decision to switch or stay with the current types of bulbs. &nbsp;The homeowner alone, or with their partner, can usually decide within a few minutes, and make the purchase of the new energy efficient bulbs without much up front investment.&nbsp;</p>
<p>An Arizona Home Owners Association is now trying to join the guild of people saving money through the use of energy efficient lighting. &nbsp;Their process of decision making is much more complicated though. &nbsp;</p>
<p>The desire to make the switch to efficient lighting came when analyzing their operating costs for a 4 mile stretch of road that they pay to light with street lights. &nbsp;The costs were around $50,000 per year! &nbsp;</p>
<p>The association created a committee to research ways to lower these costs for the homeowners. &nbsp;They thought about lowering the bill by turning off a few of the lights at a time, or all of them together. &nbsp;But when they learned they could save tens of thousands of dollars per year with new, efficient lighting, while still keeping all the lights on, they were sold.</p>
<p>The association says the initial investment will be around $150,000, but after paying off the investment, they plan to be able to make physical, aesthetic upgrades to the &nbsp;neighborhood which will increase property values.</p>
<p>The HOA is set to vote now on the types of bulbs that they want to install in the street lights, along with their color and intensity. &nbsp;The installation will happen in June or July.<br /><br /></p>]]></description>

      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/walkway-surface-mount-light/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>When lighting a walkway, you have to keep in mind a few key things:</p>
<ul>
<li> 
<ul>
<li><strong>Brightness- </strong>Will the light be bright enough to make the walkway safe at nights?</li>
<li><strong>Durability- </strong>Are the materials used to create it durable in nature?</li>
<li><strong>Weatherproofed- </strong>Since the fixture will be outside, will it withstand the harshness, heat, cold, and moisture of the arena it is forced to work in?</li>
</ul>
</li>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Floor lamps can be very useful in a room. &nbsp;They are tall and slim so they don't take up too much area within a room, and their bulbs are placed high enough to offer substantial light to a large amount of space within that room.&nbsp;</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Modern home designs are becoming more and more popular today. &nbsp;These designs are most commonly found in new or remodeled homes or apartments, and are characterized by these common themes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Clean lines</strong>. As opposed to the ornate decorativeness found in more classic home styles.</li>
<li><strong>Minimalism</strong>. This is the less is more mentality. &nbsp;Trading in hand-crafted detail-heavy furniture and decorations for sleek and simple alternatives.</li>
<li><strong>Metal</strong>. &nbsp;The use of metal is important in modern designs. &nbsp;The shiny, smooth surfaces contrast the wood preferences of most classic homes, but fit perfectly in the order and cleanliness associated with modern ones.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you're designing a modern home, it's important to match your lighting fixtures to your furniture and decorations as well.</p>

<p>They each have 8 lights, and weigh only 8 pounds.</p>
<p>You can see from the photos that these two lights exemplify the modern style of clean lines, minimalism, and metal parts.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Check out the video below that tells the story of New Jersey businesses being fined for leaving lights on.</p>
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9z9iFzKJo7Q?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

<p>As if electricity bills weren't enough, New Jersey businesses are now getting fined for leaving their business sign light on after 11pm.</p>
<p>The Mayor of Paramus, NJ (the location where the fines are being distributed), says it's against city ordinance to leave sign lights on after 11pm because it takes away from the community's quality and character.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The fines are $200 or more, and the businesses have to appear in court regarding these fines as well.</p>
<p>In the first 3 months of 2013, more than 40 businesses have received fines: from mom and pop shops, to large corporate chains. &nbsp;</p>]]></description>

      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/food-waste-reduced-due-to-led-lighting/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Grocery stores are the main hub for food dispersement throughout the world. &nbsp;One little-known fact about grocery stores is that each year they actually have to throw out 300,000 tons of food. &nbsp;That means over 800 tons of food per day are wasted.</p>
<p>A Welsh firm, Sedna LED, hypothesizes that the amount of food waste produced from grocery stores each year could be significantly reduced through the use of LED lighting.</p>
<p>Now we've all heard about the energy savings that comes with LEDs, but food waste savings? &nbsp;How is that possibe? &nbsp;</p>
<p>Fruits, vegetables, meats, and anything else that spoils in a grocery store, are put on display every day for patrons to view and select for their meals. &nbsp;They are lit up by lights that emit heat consistently throughout the day. &nbsp;The heat that comes from these lights causes the food to sweat and age more rapidly than they would without the lights there.</p>
<p>LEDs, though, don't produce the heat that conventional light bulbs do. &nbsp;They light, but put off no heat at all. &nbsp;So replacing conventional bulbs with LED bulbs in grocery stores really could help food stay fresher for longer, thereby reducing the rate of annual food waste.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Offices and kitchens are locations where multiple surfaces need to be lit at one time. &nbsp;</p>
<p>When you're working in the kitchen with a friend you'll need the island lit at the same time that the sink and stove are lit. &nbsp;When you're working in an office, you may want your keyboard lit at the same time that &nbsp;another part of your desk is lit so you can see paperwork. &nbsp;Lighting these surfaces can be achieved in a few different ways. &nbsp;</p>
<p>The answer in the office may be a lamp, or multiple recessed lights could work in the office or kitchen. &nbsp;</p>
<p>There is one way to light these surfaces, though, that is not only functional, but very stylish as well. &nbsp;Track lighting.</p>
<p>This FlexiCurve Directional Head is a product that works well with a Liton 120V Track or a 12V Slim Track: (<a href="http://www.alightingstore.com/by-lighting/indoor-lighting/track-lighting-1/flexicurve-directional-heads-lfcx440s-liton.html">click to go to the product page</a>).</p>

      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/high-quality-under-cabinet-lighting/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>When cutting an onion for your family's taco night, it's important to have enough light. &nbsp;When fileting a fresh caught salmon for your girlfriend, it's important to have enough light. &nbsp;When you've got your 10 year old helping you peel potatoes in the kitchen, it's important to have enough light.</p>
<p>Because we so commonly use dangerous implements like knives and potato peelers in our kitchen, we often forget that if not used with caution, they can cause a lot of bodily harm to us.</p>
<p>The best way to prevent against that harm is to light your kitchen properly so you can always fully see your hands, the food, and the dangerous kitchen tool with ease.</p>

      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/artificial-light-causing-birds-to-go-faster/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Scientists have long theorized that artificial light affected plants, animals, and people alike by causing them to grow more than they would in a darkened state.</p>
<p>A Team at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Germany conducted a study focused on male blackbirds and how they developed differently in urban as opposed to forested areas. &nbsp;They found that male blackbirds in urban areas affected by the constant night lighting grew, matured, and mated faster than those in darker forested areas.</p>
<p>They confirmed this experiment's findings by capturing forested birds and exposing them to artificial light at night for 10 months.</p>
<p>Scientists do not yet know why this faster maturation happens from the artificial light. &nbsp;They don't know if it speeds up the birds' metabolism, allows them to hunt longer and eat more providing more energy for them, or what the real reason is that the light affects them in this way.</p>

      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/ways-to-brighten-the-kitchen/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The kitchen is a well-loved location in your home. &nbsp;You are in there many times per day preparing meals, enjoying meals, and cleaning up after meals. &nbsp;</p>
<p>In order to keep your kitchen as a room that you love throughout your tenure in the home, you need to make sure the kitchen is properly lit. &nbsp;There are many ways to choose to light a kitchen, and some can be combined witih others to create beautifully-lit masterpieces within your home.</p>
<p>Here are a few good ways to bring light into your kitchen:</p>
<p>-Recessed lighting: <a href="http://www.alightingstore.com/by-lighting/indoor-lighting/recessed-lighting.html">Recessed lighting</a>&nbsp;stays flush with your celing as a functional light source. &nbsp;The fixtures are usually placed over counter tops to provide the most downlight to those spaces that they can.</p>
<p>-Track lighting: <a href="http://www.alightingstore.com/by-lighting/indoor-lighting/track-lighting-1.html">Track lights</a> can be installed in the kitchen and used to create more of a bright atmosphere than some other light sources. &nbsp;This is because when the lights are at an angle they can bounce off of surfaces in order to more fully FILL the room with light.</p>
<p>-Pendant lights:<a href="http://www.alightingstore.com/by-lighting/indoor-lighting/pendant-mount-lights.html"> Pendant lights</a> are often hung above islands, breakfast bars, or nooks in a kitchen to add an element of style along with downlight onto those areas.</p>
<p>-Under Cabinet Lighting / Above Cabinet Lighting: Under and above cabinets inconspicious lights can be placed to add a beautful bright ambiance to a kitchen. &nbsp;Try LED Strip Lighting (also called <a href="http://www.alightingstore.com/by-lighting/energy-efficient/led-tape-light.html">LED Tape Lighting</a>) to accomplish this brightening.</p>
<p>However you choose to light your kitchen, light it will, and enjoy it every day!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>More often than not pendant lights are used in places like the kitchen. &nbsp;They hang over an island or breakfast bar or peninsula, and they usually hang in pairs. &nbsp;Sometimes pendant lights are unique enough, though, that they can stand alone as opposed to in a pair. &nbsp;And when they're unique enough they can even venture out from the eating area and be placed in bedrooms or other locations.</p>
<p>This Meridian Single Pendant Light is one of those products: (<a title="Meridian Single Pendant Light" href="http://www.alightingstore.com/by-lighting/indoor-lighting/pendant-mount-lights/meridian-single-pendant-21347dwub-maxim.html">Click to go to the prodcut page</a>)</p>

<p>The metal is an umber bronze color that will bring warmth and style to whatever room it is placed in.</p>
<p>Though this product is unique and larger than most pendant lights, it still can be placed with a partner above a counter top as well if that is what's desired be a homeowner or designer.&nbsp;</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>We've heard of chocolate fountains, and we've heard of chandeliers finished in a chocolate brown color... but an actual chocolate lamp... what's the need for that?</p>
<p>Saas Instruments and Alexander Lervik teamed up to create La Lumiere au Chocolat. &nbsp;A lamp that consistes of an incandescent bulb hidden inside a hollow block of chocolate. &nbsp;</p>
<p>When the light turns on, it still remains dark to onlookers. &nbsp;Then as the light starts to heat up the chocolate, small holes begin to form. &nbsp;Soon after light starts peeking through the chocolate as the walls begin to melt away.</p>
<p>See the process here.</p>
<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/58871323?portrait=0" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>
<p>Why anyone would want something like this, I don't know.</p>
<p>With Valentine's Day just a week away, you might be saying to yourself, "What is a unique gift I could get for her/him?" But imagine getting this for your special someone on Valentine's Day... even though it's unique and interesting... I think most would prefer a box of chocolates over a chocolate lamp.</p>
<p>The lamp is now on display at Galleri Kleerup Jacobs torg 3 in Stockholm.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Did you see the Super Bowl last night? &nbsp;You thought the big news of the night would be the winner of the game, but the next day, all people are talking about are the lights.</p>
<p>At about 8:38 PM EST with 13:22 left in the third quarter, half of the halide lamps in the Superdome went dark. &nbsp;It wasn't just the lights that went out though. &nbsp;According to a sideline reporter, half the power was out at the stadium- the announcers couldn't even speak to the public right away because of the outage.</p>
<p>CBS' studio host James Brown came on around 8:46 PM EST and said the outage was caused by a power surge and that some of the power had been restored, and the lights were beginning to come back on, but would take 15 minutes to recycle.</p>
<p>At about 8:54 PM EST viewers are assured that full light should be returned within 15 minutes.</p>
<p>At 9:05 PM EST a camera pans over the stadium as lights are now back on and viewers can see that the upper bank of lights are left off, likely to keep another surge from happening.</p>
<p>Tweets about the outage were quite entertaining! &nbsp;One person wrote, "@beyonce please unplug your curling iron." &nbsp;Another said, "so during the #poweroutage I just saved 15% by switching my car insurance to Geico." &nbsp;Harry Potter even tweeted about this event saying, "Ron picked the worst possible time to use his Deluminator."</p>
<p>So whether your team won or lost yesterday, at least you got the entertainment of watching REAL reality television for a half hour during the Super Bowl!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Have a home that needs to exude a real sense of class to guests instead of a feeling that the average, run-of-the-mill home produces? &nbsp;More often than not, this sense of class comes through attention to detail. &nbsp;Focusing on finishings and fixtures brings more class to a home than much else can.</p>
<p>If you need pendant lighting to hang above your island or bar, and you want it to be very classy, then you can't just go with a</p>

<p>&nbsp;generic pendant light. &nbsp;You have to go with something that has detail and attracts enough attention that it will be noticed and appreciated, but not so much that it takes away from other details or focal points within the room.</p>
<p>This Mondrian Mini Pendant light achieves that idea with ease: (<a title="bronze mini pendant light" href="http://www.alightingstore.com/by-lighting/indoor-lighting/pendant-mount-lights/mondrian-mini-pendant1150whub-91150whub-maxim.html">click to go to the product page</a>)</p>

      <title><![CDATA[FIPEL Lighting Technology Spotlight]]></title><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/fipel-lighting-technology-spotlight/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>So far the only popular light bulbs on the market have been incandescent bulbs, as well as compact fluorescent bulbs, and LED bulbs. &nbsp;Near the end of this year, though, a new lighting product will be available to purchase for commercial use.</p>
<p>This new lighting product is called FIPEL, short for field-induced polymer electroluminescent technology.</p>
<p>A Wake Forest University professor, David Carroll, developed the new light source and explains how it works. &nbsp;He says it's similar to how a microwave works.&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>"Take a potato, for example. When you place your potato in the microwave and press start, the device hits the potato with microwaves that induce what's known as a displacement current, meaning it makes the water molecules in the potato flip back and forth. This heats the potato up. What Carroll and his team have done is develop a special type of plastic that, when hit with an electric current, induces a displacement current in the same way. But in this case, it doesn't give off heat, it gives off light."</span><span><br /></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>The light source is made up of many layers of plastic, each layer being more than 100,000 thinner than a human hair, and the layers are inserted between an aluminum electrode and a transparent conducting electrode. &nbsp;An electric current is then passed through the device, and it stimulates the plastic causing it to light up.</span></p>
<p><span>This lighting source is at the same level of efficiency with LED lighting, but is said to be able to reach only a slightly lower level of efficiency than the LED as LED technology continues to improve.</span></p>
<p>FIPELs have one thing over the LED bulbs though. &nbsp;Most LED bulbs contain mercury, but FIPELs contain no caustic chemicals, and are easily recyclable because they are made of plastic.</p>
<p>Carroll says he has dreams that in five years people will be using the word, light bulb and FIPEL interchangeably.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In lighting news, LED is everywhere. &nbsp;It seems like every other news article about lighting is talking about another step that LED lights are taking in order to increase their hold on the lighting market.</p>
<p>This is an understandable trend as people want to conserve energy and have lower electric bills.</p>
<p>Companies are even beginning to endorse solely LED lighting as opposed to old lighting products such as fluorescent bulbs or halogen bulbs. &nbsp;One such company is the Swedish-based IKEA.</p>
<p>IKEA announced recently that they plan to be selling only LED lights starting in 2016.</p>
<p>IKEA applauds the sustainability and affordability of LED lighting and says they will start building the lighting into their furniture as well- such as lights inside drawers and under cabinets.</p>
<p>We at ALightingStore.com provide many options for LED lighting- take a look here at some <a href="http://www.alightingstore.com/by-lighting/energy-efficient.html">LED lighting options</a>.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Looking up at the Empire State Building and enjoying the beauty of its lights is something New Yorkers have the opportunity to do nightly. &nbsp;For the next few days, though, New Yorkers as well as anyone else around the world have the ability to vote for what colors they want to be the official standard colors for the famous building.</p>
<p>Each night from sunset to 2am until the 20th, the 4 sides of the building will light up with 4 different hues of a single color. &nbsp;One night the color will be red, one yellow, orange, pink etc. &nbsp;</p>
<p>People can look up at the building, and then go to the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/empirestatebuilding/app_166013376782265">Facebook Page</a> for voting, and speak their mind about their favorite hue. &nbsp;</p>
<p>For those unable to see the actual building in person, they can still go to the Facebook Page and vote for their favorite hue.</p>
<p>The hues with the most votes will become the official standard colors for the Empire State Building's lights.</p>
<p>Officials said they started this voting process because all the tourists are gone from the city after the Holidays, so they wanted to do something special for the people of New York who see the tower all-year-round.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ever been on a road trip, late at night, when you all of a sudden realize you're approaching a sharp corner and need to adjust your speed for it? &nbsp;Ever been driving on the well-lit freeway and then had to take your exit onto a dark road and felt like you couldn't see anything?</p>
<p>Well lights are evolving yet again and are stepping up to improve your driving experience by offering headlights that are truly intelligent.</p>
<p>Hyundai has developed the lights called AILS (Active Intelligent Lighting System). &nbsp;</p>
<p>The lights actually interact with navigation systems to metaphorically read the road as you're driving it. &nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px;">Not only does the amount of light change based on the road situations that AILS reads, but the angle of the lights can even change.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px;">&nbsp;</span>This convergence in technology is expected to significantly improve the safety of drivers and pedestrians since lights will work more efficiently and effectively for drivers.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Technology in the lighting industry is advancing rapidly. &nbsp;LED lights are making a big footprint and are beginning to phase out some of the older incandescent bulbs.</p>
<p>One prodcut that is going to progress that movement is the Philips Hue LED light. &nbsp;Forbes recently published an article calling this new lighting product "nearly perfect."</p>
<p>The article explains that the only complaints about LED lights are that the product itself is ugly, and that the light it emits is ugly as well. &nbsp;It says that Philips fixed this problem with the Hue by totally reinventing the look and function of LED lighting.</p>
<p>Forbes reports that the Hue LED lights don't run off a normal on/off switch- instead they are controlled by an iOS app which allows these digital lights to be controlled completely through a list of settings within the app. &nbsp;There are ranges of colors and brightnesses that the lights can be set to. &nbsp;You can set the lights manually, or you can choose preset options like "Relax" or "Beach."</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Does your landscaping evoke a whimsical, old-world feel when people step out into it? &nbsp;If that style is something that you're attempting to obtain, then lighting it the right way is a good way to start.</p>
<p>There are so many options when it comes to landscape lighting. &nbsp;Sometimes you need to highlight a specific feature with a well light or a faux stone light. &nbsp;Other times you need to provide general lighting to an area so visitors can take in the beauty all around them.</p>
<p>One way to do that is with an outdoor street light style fixture. &nbsp;Check out this Outdoor Pole/Post Mount to see what we are talking about: (<a href="http://www.alightingstore.com/by-lighting/outdoor/pole-top-lights-1/poles-outdoor-pole-post-mount-1105bk-maxim.html">click to go to the product page</a>)</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>All too often people choose mundane floor lamps that just blend into the background of their home without adding anything but&nbsp;light to the surrounding area. &nbsp;And for some people that is great, but for others, there needs to be an element of style added by the floor lamp for it to really earn a place in their home.</p>
<p><img style="float: left;" title="Asiana Floor Lamp" src="http://www.alightingstore.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/265x265/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/1/0/10987wsrc.jpg" alt="Asiana Floor Lamp" width="265" height="265" /></p>

<p>The base of the lamp is made of steel and comes in a roasted chesnut color. &nbsp;It is 6 feet high and just under 2 feet wide at the shade of the lamp. &nbsp;It is fitted for a 150 Watt bulb, but comes without the bulb, so make sure to have one handy once it is delivered.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Lighting technology is continuing to advance in ways few people could imagine.</p>
<p>In the Netherlands a design team called Studio Roosegaarde created a photo luminescent powder that they will be using as road markings starting in the middle of next year.</p>
<p>The powder will gather energy throughout the day from the sun, and then will glow for about 10 hours at night. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Not only will there be lane markers and shoulder markers glowing at night, but they will also use the powder to indicate when the roads might be slippery. &nbsp;When the temperature falls to a certain degree, snowflakes will glow on the roads to warn drivers of the icy conditions.</p>
<p>Daan Roosegaarde, the designer, says he already has interest from India about bringing the technology there, and he hopes to bring it to the United States as well.</p>]]></description>

      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/led-lights-help-astronauts/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Many normal, everyday people have trouble sleeping. &nbsp;Imagine now if you lived on a ship in outer space where your job was very taxing and there were no normal day and night patterns to help your body know when to sleep. &nbsp;That would make things much more difficult wouldn't it?</p>
<p>Well astronauts have had a very hard time getting good sleep since the beginning of the space program, and now scientists have created a way to help them with that using LED lights.</p>
<p>NASA is now going to start switching out all the old fluorescent bulbs that are currently in their ships and adding a myriad of LEDs alternating between blue, white, and red based on the time of day.</p>
<p>Blue light is said to stimulate the brain and keep people awake during the day, while the red light is supposed to help create melatonin which helps people feel sleepy. &nbsp;</p>
<p>This switch in lighting will more similarly mimic real daylight and will help the astronauts to get better sleep.</p>
<p>This is an $11.2 million project that is set to be complete by 2016.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Nearly all commercial buildings have lighting fixtures adorning their exterior. &nbsp;Some lights are placed outside the buildings for security. &nbsp;Others are placed outside for aesthetics. &nbsp;And still other lighting fixtures are placed outside to highlight the companies' signs so people can constantly see the company branding on the building.</p>

      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/gravitylight/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>We found and wanted to share this great video about two British designers who created GravityLight to provide a light source with no operating costs.</p>
<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/53588182?title=0&amp;portrait=0" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>

<p>This light source is meant to replace the Kerosene lanterns used by native Africans.  The smoke from the Kerosene can be harmful when inhaled, and the Africans have to continually purchase new Kerosene to keep their lanterns burning.</p>

<p>With the new GravityLight, they will only have to spend a small amount of money up front to purchase the light, and then they will never have to pay again to operate the light.</p>

<p>This product is very innovative and will certainly help many people in developing countries.</p>]]></description>

      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/paris-turning-off-its-lights/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Even though lighting technology is moving in a more efficient direction and saving energy throughout the world, some countries are taking even greater strides to try to save energy. &nbsp;</p>
<p>The French government has already banned overnight illumination of museums, churches, and even the Eiffel Tower, but now they want to extend that ban to all shops and public buildings.</p>
<p>The light ban proposed by Environment and Energy Minister Delphine Batho would force all said buildings to turn off their lights from 1AM to 7AM, and could be in affect as early as this coming July.</p>
<p>The movement is part of a greater European strategy to improve energy efficiency by 20 percent in the next eight years.</p>
<p>People opposed to this plan say that lights on public buildings are part of public safety. &nbsp;They don't want to lose the security these lights provide. &nbsp;Others say it will impact tourism to the city. &nbsp;"We're becoming a museum, falling asleep after sunset," says Claude Boulle, head of the City Centre Merchants association.</p>]]></description>

      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/new-fipel-lighting-technology-to-be-available-next-yar/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>A physics professor and other scientists at Wake Forest Univiersity have create a new type of lighting that may soon join the ranks of fluorescent and LED lighting.</p>
<p>David Carrol, the scientist in charge of creating this new technology says the lighting is called field-induced polymer electrolumenescent or FIPEL technology. &nbsp;It creates the soft white light that the human eye prefers, as opposed to the yellowish light produced by fluorescent bulbs, and the bluish light from the LED bulbs.</p>
<p>Carrol also says these lights are safer than other light sources because they are shatterproof, meaning that you won't have to worry about a HAZMAT situation if a light were to fall from the ceiling or elsewhere.</p>
<p>The team at Wake Forest says these new lights work by using a nano-engineered polymer matrix to convert a charge into light. &nbsp;The devices are built with three layers of white-emitting polymer blended with a small amount of nanomaterials that glow when stimulated.</p>
<p>Carrol boasts that the FIPEL lights are twice as efficient as fluorescent lights, and are similar to LEDS in efficiency.</p>
<p>According to the Wake Forest team these FIPEL lights could be available for consumer purchase as early as next year.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Tuned Lighting Devices Could Save Billions]]></title><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/tuned-lighting-devices/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>All homes and business have somthing in common... they pay an electric bill. &nbsp;Imagine, though, if that electrical bill was decreased across the nation by billions of dollars. &nbsp;Would you be interested in finding out how? &nbsp;Of course you would be!</p>
<p>Researchers at the Barrow Neurological Institute were also interested in saving people across the country billions on their electric bill. &nbsp;In order to do this they ran an experiment on different types of lighting and how the brain interpreted that lighting. &nbsp;They found that they had the ability to "tune" lighting devices in a way that worked more efficiently with the brain. &nbsp;This meant that a person perceived more brightness coming from a device even though the device was using less energy than a normal lighting device.</p>
<p>No matter the light-emitting device from televisions to flash lights, they all give light in the same manenr. &nbsp;They flicker. &nbsp;The faster the flicker, the less noticeable it is to people who are utilizing the light.</p>
<p>"We found a temporal sweet spot in visual perception that can be exploited to obtain significant savings by redesigning light emitting devices to flicker with optimal dynamics to activate visual<span style="color: #333333;">&nbsp;system&nbsp;</span>neurons in the human brain," says Dr Stephen Macknik who helped with the experiment.</p>
<p>The researchers predicted that if every light from the common house bulb to the lights in our cell phones were transitioned into lights that took advantage of this new lighting technique, that the world would save &nbsp;billions in electric costs.</p>]]></description>

      <link>http://www.alightingstore.com/blog/barcelona-semi-flush-mount-light/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Decorating a dining room in your home or prepping a rental property for new tenants?</p>
<p>Although chandeliers are the first idea people usually have when thinking about lighting a dining table, there are other options to choose from as well.</p>
<p>One of these options is a semi-flush mount light. &nbsp;It is usually less ornate than a chandelier, so it doesn't draw as much attention to it as a chandelier might, but it still adds a classically beautiful sense of style to any dining room.</p>
<p>At ALightingStore.com we currently have 60 different styles of <a title="semi-flush mount lights" href="http://www.alightingstore.com/by-lighting/indoor-lighting/semi-flush-mount-lighting.html">semi-flush mount lights</a>.</p>
<p>One we like to show off is this Barcelona semi-flush mount light (<a title="Barcelona semi-flush mount light" href="http://www.alightingstore.com/by-lighting/indoor-lighting/semi-flush-mount-lighting/barcelona-semi-flush-mount-13410aioi-maxim.html">click to go to the product page</a>):</p>

<p>This piece is 14 inches wide and can be delivered to you promptly. &nbsp;<span>Orders received before 1:00PM will ship the following day, provided the product ordered is in stock.</span><br />As a general rule we ship orders within 1-10 business days from receipt. &nbsp;</p>

<p>You want a new light above your dining room table, and we've got just the thing (<a title="6 light single tier chandelier" href="http://www.alightingstore.com/by-lighting/indoor-lighting/chandeliers/aspen-single-tier-chandelier-20612oi-maxim.html">click to go to the product page</a>):</p>

<p>The faux candles give a classic feel as opposed to a more modern glass or fabric shade over a standard bulb.</p>
<p>This chandelier can be hung in an entry way or above a dining table. &nbsp;We usually recommend single-tiered chandeliers to be hung above dining tables, though, and reserve entry ways for multi-tiered chandeliers.</p>
<p>Its versatile, metal tone makes it a great fit for many different styles of homes. &nbsp;It can match with the style of an already elegant room, or it can add a touch of class and be a conversation piece for a more casual setting.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>When you're creating an outdoor garden, patio, living or entertaining space, it's important to consider many different factors.&nbsp;</p>
<div>
<p>One factor to consider is your location. &nbsp;If you live in a place where it rains a lot, you're going to want some type of covering outside to keep people dry when they come over to look at your space. &nbsp;If you live ina place where it's very sunny and hot, you may also want a covering, but to provide shade instead of protection from the rain.</p>
<img style="float: right;" title="3 light outdoor lantern" src="http://www.alightingstore.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/265x265/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/1/1/1105bk.jpg" alt="3 light outdoor lantern" width="265" height="265" />
<p>Another factor you'll want to consider is how you will light your space. &nbsp;Some people may use flood lights attached to the side of their home, or small landscape lights that come from the ground towards the plants. &nbsp;But there are others who want to provide a more complete and storybook-type feel to their outdoor space by adding lantern lighting.</p>
<p>We have different options for this type of lighting but want to highlight the product to the right in particular (<a href="http://www.alightingstore.com/by-lighting/outdoor/pole-top-lights-1/poles-outdoor-pole-post-mount-1105bk-maxim.html">click to go to the product page</a>).</p>
