Light Meter App

This is a great app for lighting people or if you want to show an owner what footcandles are in a space.  A Light Meter app!  I tested against a "real" light meter from Greenlee at showed 22 FC at my desk.  The whitegood light meter showed 18 so not completely accurate but I had a case on my phone, etc.  It works as a good estimate of light quantity.  Search "whitegoods" at iTunes.

That is me and my son Caleb at Stone Fort park in Manchester TN in the background. 

From the whitegoods site:

New Update Available for Whitegoods Light Meter App
Whitegoods have made further improvements to their recently launched LightMeter App;
The new updates include:
-An easy to use manual calibration tool where you can input readings taken from a real light
meter allowing for more accurate calibration.
- We have improved the decimalisation of Lux/foot-candle readings
-Default settings for low/medium or bright light levels to improve performance
-'How does it work' section on Info tab
-Settings for foot-candles or lux
Always have a light meter at hand with this intuitive and easy-to-use app. Compatible with iPhone 3GS,
4 and 4S, iPad and iPod Touch (iOS 5.0 or later). Works with front and back cameras and includes a built-in timer.

Downtown Block Gets Makeover To Help Promote The Arts

Downtown Block Gets Makeover To Help Promote The Arts ( News Channel Five Video Report)

Starting next week the block of 5th Avenue North, between Church and Union Streets, will get a makeover that will highlight the area as an arts district.

This is being designed by Hawkins Partners landscape architects.  Great project.  I am supplying the catenary fixture and the LED curtain lighting.

Color Kinetics at the Nashville Bridge Company

This is the Nabrico Building in the Cumberland Park area, Nashville.  The blue tower is lighted by Philips Color Kinetics (CK) LEDs.

We can light very tall stuff with CK LEDs as well.  The below link is to the Color Kinetics website showing the CN Tower in Toronto.  I think the downtown architecture of Nashville lends itself to some interesting possibilities and I will update as more come online.

LED Emergency Sconce

For the electrical engineering community here in Nashville and middle Tennessee, this is a great emergency LED sconce.  I have ordered a sample for TLC Engineers who asked to see the fixture and can bring it for a demonstration to anyone else who would like to see it...  thank you.

• Available wattages include 35 watt and 50 watt.
• In order to provide speed to market, the 121-EM is based on 121 generation 1 technology. It is available with Wide Throw (WT), Forward Throw (FT) and Medium Throw (MT) optics. Note: luminaires with MT optics include a diffuse lens.
• 121-EM with FT and WT optics are provided with a clear glass lens for a similar outward appearance to the recently announced 121-Generation 2 sconce family.
