So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

OLED Lighting Illuminates A Bright Future

By Kenya England


Each day, there are impressive advances in the fields of technology and science which bring about the introduction of innovative new products. The intention is to find ways of making life easier and more efficient in so many ways. One such concept is OLED lighting which, though still in the early stages, shows great promise of all the beneficial applications it could offer in the future.

These products are not yet widely used, due primarily in part to their price, which is currently a bit high for the average consumer. However, as more companies begin to mass produce them, the cost will become more affordable to the general public. There are many advantages to be had with this type of light source which is already exceeded the efficiency of incandescent lights and halogen lamps.

Organic Light Emitting Diodes is new take on an old technology that conducts electricity through several very thin layers of natural materials. The products are panels of thin glass or transparent film that have a versatility which allows them to be placed almost anywhere. Because of their extreme slimness and the ability to be built on bendable plastic sheets, there is a high potential for more flexible designs in the future.

Products made with this concept have impressive quality and high performance ratings. The light that is being projected onto the flattened transparent plastic film or glass surface creates a uniformly glowing plane that is free of excessively bright spots. One advantage to producing a field of illumination that has no distortion, is that the shadowed areas normally found are virtually non-existent.

With a source of light that burns dimmer than those used in LED fixtures, the resulting glow is softer and creates a more pleasing ambiance that is not only comfortable to be in, but also flattering to the people, furnishing and other items within its space. This level of illumination very closely resembles natural sunlight yet one is able to look directly at it. Colors appear truer and everything within the space is better seen.

While the first products of this type have recently been released for sale to the general public, the designs are limited and the price is a bit on the high side. Because the technology is still in its infancy and manufacturers have yet to find a way to make it more cost effective, the distribution is not so wide spread at this time. Once this issue is resolved, there are many applications for which these devices could be put to use.

No mercury or other dangerous components are needed to operate this technology and it requires only a minimal amount of energy. This creates an environmentally friendly, clean power source of light. Products of this type have a lifespan that is greater than that of fluorescent bulbs but not quite as long as LED's.

There are many sources of illumination available on today's market. These organically based diodes are a light emitting option that offers many potential benefits to those who choose to use them. The technology is sound and the designs are constantly being updated and improved to become more practical for generalized, as well as specialty purposes.
