Are you known in the lighting community? I couldn't in good faith recommend it, by and large they're a bunch of antisocial egotistical losers, particularly in the case of the UK community whom I get on with almost none of.

Got some new shit. A whole lot of rare stuff was basically given to me for free by a fellow collector who has run into problems and is shrinking his collection. Some amazing stuff in here. Royal Ediswan Radiator Lamp. I checked with my phone's LED and the filament looks intact. If I'm not...

Oooooh burn One only needs a single yellow to have a lot of fun!

A (belated) welcome. Russia is a place that for a while now has had my curiosity, I'd like to visit one day. I thought luck was "udachi" but I must have got that wrong.

I thought this was going to be one of those "post your desktop screenshot" threads. I do enjoy those. Alas, I will stick to the rules. The following is what I have on my desktop - a mere screenshot of the incredible game "Limbo". It looks lush on my MBA and is part of a totally monochrome theme...

Christ. Is the latency on satellite even that bad?!

Houses of the Holy? And yes I have heard of Jimmy page, although I know not much about led Zeppelin so by just saying his last name I didn't know who you'd meant. Also I'd contest your statements that few haven't heard of him or Eric Clapton. Ask anyone under 20 and I'll bet over 3/4 of them...

I don't mind Beck, I've heard of Clapton but not Page. There are loads of British bands in my line up, namely Stereophonics, Travis, TFF, so on and so forth. I'm now listening to Insomnia by Faithless

One of the things I pride myself on is how eclectic I am. I'll never forget the moment I went to the till (register) at HMV with a Pantera CD in one hand and a TFF CD in the other. I think the clerk needed a reboot after that. The following screenshot of my "everything goes" playlist only gives...

I had fibre before I moved house, and it was a godsend. Our town just recently got fibre, and at the same time ADSLs got upgraded from the usual 8m down and whatever it is up, 0.3m I think to 20+ down and 1 or 2 up. I moved into a house share and went back down to ADSL and it's noticeable, even...

My ping got terribad fast. My connection always seems to do this around midnight; that's if it doesn't drop altogether. I really want fibre.

Re: Holy @#$%... $120 488nm diode!! Interesting. For me, viewing a low powered 405 in a dark room mostly renders it as grey, perhaps that's one of the only cases it comes into effect.

first off; drop the attitude. That's the second time in this thread. Wind your neck in. Second; you need to learn what you are talking about. Games are code - when it comes down to it, that's all they are. Whether you use an ingame memory corruption exploit or use an external piece of hardware...

do you expand this as well to single player games? I also don't see how, in a moral sense, there is any difference between exploiting an ingame mechanic and bringing in an outside source. sometimes breaking out of the jail itself is as fun as what you can do while outside it. I love having...

The problem comes when this hacking and exploiting in multiplayer games puts others at a disadvantage. I don't know how Pokemon go works, but I know the aforementioned missingno exploit doesn't affect anyone else and is a fun glitch to do. I'm actually doing a rerun of Pokemon red and have every...

Re: Holy @#$%... $120 488nm diode!! IMO 473 is nothing special. Not to insult anyone but when I got one and powered it on my instant response was ..oh.. . I just don't get why so many people froth over it. Sure, it's nice, but the yellows are 1000 times nicer, IMO. So if you're toying between...

Re: Holy @#$%... $120 488nm diode!! I wouldn't say no to a build with one of those in.

Actually, no. From the horses mouth, it is capacitive. Something about it being a capacitive dropper and the resistors being there to soften the blow if the lamp is connected mid peak.

Getting my terms mixed up most likely. My friend made it.

Here we go again. My friend sent me a package of some lamps, first up is a "test tube" lamp he made himself, with a glowbottle starter and capacitive ballast. works really well. Philips TL8W/08 woods glass BLB lamp, pukka quality from the days of old: Philips MLR160 a self ballast...
