	An alternative to the Model M keyboard	1 Relevance	16 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	... Illuminated Keyboard. It's full-sized, it's very attractive, it has a dimmable backlight behind the keys so you can use it in the dark, it's wired (although there's also a wireless version that I wasn't interested in), it's quiet enough to use while others nearby are trying to sleep... AND the keys feel really good. Not the same as the Model M's, but similar enough that it was really easy to make the switch. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001F51G16
	Thanks for fixing the images	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Gustaf	General discussion
	Thanks for fixing the images You have a lovely room. I can't think of a single dimmable floor lamp! The only lamp I've ever had that was dimmable is Jasper Morrison's Glo-Ball. But if you could retrofit the dimmer on the cord, that helps. I would balance the Tolomeo by choosing something that's very different in style. Any one of the two Joe Colombo models you mention would look great. The Spider is one of my all time favorites, actually. Or how about Alvar Aalto's A810? It kind of meets the dimmable and adjustable criteria... Far above budget if purchased ...
	My two cents worth...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	... lit that way. So here are my learnings on my efforst to balance envoromentalism and design addictiionina sane and functional way. First some facts: Yes, compact fluorescents (CFL's) contain a small amount of mercury in the vapor. However, during the lifeline of it's use, the amount of mercury released into the environment by a power generating plant for the energy needed by the equivant incandescent bulb is far greater. Read more about that here: http://www.worldwise.com/recfluorlig.html Also, any location in the US that sells CFL's must by law take them i ...
	More thoughts on light bulbs	1 Relevance	20 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	More thoughts on light bulbs Koen, you I did know that it was the coating,but some how my explanation came out wrong. Anyway I wanted to comment more on a few points. Stephen, LED wonderful-ness has yet to be proven in my book and I stick to my guns on the point of their not being consumer-friendly yet. As noted above they are pricey, and in my experience don't give a good quality of light or ligh intensity. The ones my company sells from Phocos and Steca are loaded with LEDs but the over all light is bland, dull and seems not to travel well. I could get int ...
	all-glass floor lamp by g frattini	1 Relevance	16 years ago	jkallglass	General discussion
	Hi there, our four year old son just had a temper and destroyed our beloved floor lamp made solely from glass (plus cable etc). It has a solid glass base, a glass tube in which you can see the cable, and a white glass bowl on top. It says Relco art RT3 and Design G. Frattini on the dimmer. The lamp was bought in the 80s. We have NO idea who the manufacturer was - do YOU ??? I would be very happy to receive any kind of information. Thanks in advance Julia

	Artemide Floor Lamp	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Benoit (CA)	General discussion
	Hi. I bought an Artemide floor lamp today at the Salvation Army for $7 CDN. When I plugged it, I realized it doesn't work. The dimmer seems to be broken. I contacted Artemide, but they are not sure I can get the original part. They offer to have a new dimmer installed, however I am not sure how it is going to look. Should I go for it or should I try to find a used dimmer that will work? The estimation for a new dimmer is between $100 and $150. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!
	your cons	1 Relevance	20 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	your cons are not quite right; some compact fluos are dimmable; eg. TC-DEL (G24q-2/3fitting), TC-SEL (2G7); ok these have special fittings (not the conventional E27) but there are also e27 cf's that are dimmable; osram dulux el dim. as for the shape; also their some improvements have been made; check out the osram dulux el classic (that has the same shape as normal 'globe'lamp or pearshaped lamp) (same goes for the philips range). greater problem is with the tl (linear fluos) because mostly the 'bad ones' (range 830) are used people do not like them but use ...
	Cool	1 Relevance	22 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Cool And it sounds like the sun comes mostly from the side of the house opposite the high window, so no direct sun comes into the room. I can see why you want to brighten it up. Let's think. . . You're screwed; you're either going to have to work at night, so you can be home all day to enjoy whatever meager light there is, or you're going to have to move. Okay, I panicked. Can you get that new front door? If the three walls and ceiling are white, I don't see that paint is going to solve the problem. The brightest part of the ceiling is near the high wind ...
	Ah, I see. It is a low volta...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	... dimmer that is bringing the voltage down to a range of 0 volts to 120 volts. Then you have a magnetic or electronic transformer that takes the dimmed 0-120v range and brings it down to 0 to 12 volts. Then it goes out to the bulb to become light. Transformers don't last forever, and some poorly made ones may only last for days or weeks. I don't much like low voltage lighting for this reason. dimmers tend to be more long lasting. And your dimmer lights up, which seems to indicate it is working. A professional could poke around in there with a multimeter ...
	Gentlefolk, aren't accessories such as these	1 Relevance	15 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	... as to lose any exclusivity they may have once projected and they certainly are not "green". I hear green is hip right now. Personally, I find the traditional Japanese paper lanterns preferable in a way. We have one hanging over our foyer and I rather like it's organic hand-made qualities, and the price is a bonus as I can easily replace it when the tissue becomes dingy. The thin latititudinal lines of the bamboo strips work better in this location, too, helping to resolve the verticality of the space. dimmed, it looks fantastic from the street at night.
	Identification of "dumbell" style lamp, space-age	1 Relevance	20 years ago	metrobook	Identification
	Hi. Can anyone help ID this lamp? Date of manufacture and designer, and/or possible estimated value? Measures approx 10.5" high with bulb. Stem has twistable dimmer switch. Pretty neat looking!
	Light Bulb	1 Relevance	20 years ago	Brandon	General discussion
	I, like many others out their, am trying to make more environmentally conscious decisions. I am contemplating exchanging all of my light bulbs with compact flourescents, but generally dislike the light they cast. Does anyone have any recomendations for CFL bulbs that cast off a more pleasurable light. I am currently using GE Reveal bulbs. Also, any bulb I select has to work with dimmer swithces. Thoughts?

	... very strange. I would have thought that the light would just be dimmer, not have these odd, tiny shadows. Of course now the internet is here and there are instant answers. Sometimes it's not quite as fun that way. (Though most of the time I love it. I want a job just googling stuff all day.)

	looks great. I used chrome top bulbs in my starburst, like them, light is less harsh. also put it on a dimmer, don't like it, turns light yellow. have fun!
