You would like to be a Manufacturing Engineer. I did that for Philips North America. I worked for their lighting group which made short arc DC Xenon lamps. It was a blast. I made semiautomatic machinery, one off hand tools, anything that kept production going. I built a hydrostatic pressure chamber that changed the way they built these lamps.
That's hard core. I dont want to see anyone get hurt,but I'd live to see that!
There was a story about the VP running one of these lamps, but he had to take a leak. So, he pointed the light at the roof thinking it was in a safe direction. When he returned the roof was on fire.
I imagine, if someone were to make a veg lamp using Xenon light it would do well. These lamps strike an arc which wears down the Tungsten anode and cathode, so the lamps wear out fairly quickly... not such a good thing for us. The manufacturing and materials are not so cheap either. The lamps have Tungsten, thoriated Tungsten, Tantalum, Platinum, Molybdenum, hand blown quartz glass and Xenon gas which is super spendy
But you gotta run it from across the street
The small lamps, 500watts are used as helicopter spots. Lamps in the 3000 to 7000 range are usually movie projector lamps. We did a ton for Sonys 4k digital projectors. The big dogs are large spot lights... the Luxor in Vegas, the ground zero array, the lights at niagra falls stuff like that
Lately when I stick my iron in the fire I've been getting burnt fingers. I gotta turn that around
Me too. I think I'm more excited with that one than the other.
Yeah. I tend to/try to slow way down on the leaf loping in mid flower.I said that Saturday, and ended up with a pile of leaves on the floor.
Two days later, it's tough to tell she was even touched.
