How to Find the Right HID Xenon Lamps


HID xenon Lamps are able to work for 3000 hours. When it is time to replace these bulbs, drivers will have to examine the many varieties of xenon bulbs for sale.
The price and selection of replacement xenon bulbs also varies quite considerably depending on where you buy them from, be it the a main dealer, a high street accessory shop or an internet specialist.
HID Xenon Lamps - Choosing the right colour
When buying new xenon bulbs you may have noticed that they have different colour temperatures listed next them, for example 6000k, 8000k or even 140000k. The K stands for Kelvin and it is the unit used to measure the colour emitted by xenon bulbs.
Often for those who have never used this type of bulb it can be confusing to understand what the different ratings mean. Commonly it is thought that 14000K or the other choices mean the heat which is emitted by the HID Xenon Bulb rather than the colour. The 14000K bulb is not going to be hotter than the 6000K bulb.
Colour temperature is rated from 4000K to 14000K. The colours the bulbs will be are listed below, since each bulb will have a different colour.
* 4000k - white light with a yellow tint
* 6000k - Completely white
* 8000k - white light with a blue tint
* 12000k - Mild purple in the white light
Unfortunately buying xenon bulbs on the basis of colour is not straight forward, as the higher the colour temperature of a xenon bulb the less light it will actually emit from your headlights. This effect is barely noticeable for bulbs in the 4000k to 8000k level however at bulbs rated at 12000k and higher the drop off in terms of light emitted is quite marked.
The light output is measured in lumens (lm). A new vehicle will have xenon bulbs rated at 4300K with a light output of 3200lm. 12000K bulbs have 2,200lm, which is 1,000lm less light being provided. If you do want a deep purple bulb to enhance the look of your vehicle you have to be concerned with the light emission you receive.
Buying HID xenon bulbs can be quite expensive unless you shop around. With the amount of online car bulb shops you are able to find a significantly lower cost for light bulbs than before.
For instance, if you purchase the E1 approved bulb such as the Orsam Xenarc you might find the cost is 200 from a manufacturer. The same bulb could be found online for 70 as the internet site is normally a specialist in car bulb replacement.
HID xenon bulb replacement can be difficult for someone who is not used to the system operation. There are high voltages behind the connector. It is best to seek a professional mechanic with electric qualifications to avoid the potential shock, which could blow the new light bulb you are trying to install.
If you are looking to change your Headlight Bulbs then the different choices and types available can be quite daunting. However, buying the right set of Xenon Bulbs that are suited to your car will make driving in the dark safer, enjoyable and less stressful.

How To Decorate With LED Tube Lights


LED tube lights have quickly become a very popular way of decorating a room, outdoor living space, RV, and business. There are plenty of different reasons for this. The main reason being that they use much less energy than traditional light bulbs. Following that reason is the fact that these tube lights can be purchased in many different colors and lengths.
These LED tube lights are also flexible so that they can be configured into many different shapes and wrap around corners. This means that the decorating possibilities are almost endless with these LED lights. For anyone who is looking for a great way to add a splash of color, a sense of style, and are able to do it quickly and easily, here are some ideas in helping you use these LED lights.
One thing to keep in mind when working with LED tube lights is that they must be hung with small clips that are screwed to the wall. Before you begin to drape the lights along your wall, your counter, your awning, or wherever else you want to place them, make sure to plan out where he hooks will go.
People routinely use the LED tube lights as an outline for something larger, or they want to draw attention to. This means that the tube lights will be fashioned to look like a circle, square, or some other shape. To do this, you only need to set the hooks in the outline of the shape you want.
LED tube lights also need to be near an outlet for power. When decorating keep in mind that there will a cord that either needs to be hidden, or kept close to an outlet. You can hide these easily by running them along the baseboard or using a plastic conduit.
LED lights can be somewhat bright when there are a lot of of them being used. A tube light, or a 'rope light' contains several feet of LED lights can create an atmosphere where it is too bright to sleep. When using this type of decoration, you will also want a way to unplug them or turn them off. It is not a good idea to put the plug behind heavy furniture in the attempt to hide it. If in the bedroom, you may regret that decision as you pull out the dresser in the middle of the night so you can sleep.

Factory to produce innovative composite materials opens in Yakutia


The factory of innovative composite materials based on continuous basalt fiber opened in Pokrovsk, the administrative center of the Khangalassky district of ??Yakutia. In accordance with "Basalt - New Technologies" project, the factory will produce four types of products using nanotechnologies.
It goes about basalt-concrete constructions for industrial and civil construction, basalt-plastic building bars and the mesh for reinforcement of roadway. The continuous basalt fiber will also be produced: the fiber is the feedstock for the production of many composite materials. Common rocks of magmatic origin are used as the main raw material for basalt fiber.
Composite products based on basalt possess high corrosion and chemical resistance. They retain their strength at low temperatures and hold heat very well. This makes them indispensable in road and housing construction in the Far North, under permafrost conditions, where conventional materials can not withstand extreme seasonal changes in temperature, reaching 100 degrees in Yakutia.
The Innovative technologies that are used at the new factory were developed together with experts of RUSNANO. According to company director Yegor Zhirkov, the products on the basis of continuous basalt fiber can be used in the automotive, oil and gas industry, agriculture and many other industries. For Yakutia, it is most important to obtain the materials needed for construction. This will greatly reduce the cost of purchase and delivery of expensive steel reinforcement bars, reinforced concrete and other building materials that are delivered from outside the republic.
The project will create more than 260 additional jobs in the Khangalassky region of the republic. Yearly tax revenues from the new production in the budget of Yakutia are expected to amount to 430 million rubles.

  • What is Metal Stamping?


    Metal stamping is the process of cutting and shaping metal alloys into specific forms, especially to be used as components for large machinery or structures. Metal sheets can be molded into different pre-determined shapes for use as regular products like pans and cans. The most common alloys that are used in metal stamping are steel, zinc, nickel, aluminum and titanium. Metal stamping is a very cost-effective and productive way of producing many kinds of metal products on a large scale.
    In metal stamping, the metal sheets are placed in a die or a press tool that has a specially designed cavity that gives the preferred shape to the metal sheet. The upper part of the die connects to the press slide while the lower component connects to the press bed. A specific component known as the punch pushes the metal sheet through the die, thus performing the actual shaping operation. After pressing, the metal is plated with gold, palladium, nickel or tin to prevent corrosion.
    Plating also increases the wearability and solderable nature of the product. Sometimes, the sheet is also pre-plated before the stamping process, and then the product is cleaned to remove excess metal stamping oils and films. The product is then heat treated to make it stronger since it is still in the soft state after stamping. The product is then subjected to the deburring process for removing the sharp corners. This is done by using chemicals or abrasives. Metal stamping also involves other metalworking processes like piercing, blanking, forming and drawing on the same machines.
    Stamping presses have specific force, speed and precision for giving a specific shape to the metal. There are two types of metal stamping presses: Mechanical and hydraulic. These are available in an extensive range of capacities, sizes, stroke lengths and operating speeds.
    Metal stamping is slowly replacing other metal forming processes like die casting, forging, fabricating and machining. One reason for this is the very low costs involved in metal stamping. The dies used for metal stamping cost less than those used in forging and casting. Also, the metals used in metal stamping can be harder than those used in other processes, thus making the end product stronger. The cost of the secondary processes, like cleaning and plating are also considerably reduced.
    Moreover, there are certain products that have to be produced only through metal stamping: Base weights, brackets, balance clamps, brake flanges, conveyor flights, bushing seats, engine bases, flywheel shrouds and friction plates. There are also different kinds of metal stamping including: Deep drawn stamping, electronic stamping, Fourslide stamping, medical stamping, progressive die stamping and short run stamping. The most commonly used type is the progressive die drawing wherein a metal sheet is drawn through a series of dies and stamping is done by all the dies simultaneously, thus considerably reducing the time it takes.

    A Review of the Collecta Miragaia Dinosaur Model

    The Collecta Miragaia Dinosaur Model Reviewed
    Fossils of European Stegosaurs are very rare. What fossil material that has been excavated provides evidence of a number of Stegosaur genera from the Jurassic, but most of the specimens are incomplete and highly fragmented. Little is known about the evolution of the Thyreophora (armoured dinosaurs) in Europe. However, over the last few years a number of better preserved and more complete Stegosaur fossils have been discovered in western Portugal. One of these recent fossil discoveries, that of a dinosaur that came to be known as Miragaia has inspired Collecta to make a replica of this armoured dinosaur.
    Little is Known about European Stegosaurs
    In contrast to most other European Stegosaur remains, much of the front part of the skeleton of this Late Jurassic Stegosaur is known. Paleontologists have excavated at least two specimens, one adult, one sub-adult from the same dig site in Upper Jurassic strata attributed to the Lourinha Formation of western Portugal. Elements of the skull have been discovered and from this scientists have been able to reconstruct this dinosaur. Collecta, the dinosaur model makers, have used the scientific data to produce a colourful, not-to-scale dinosaur model of this Portuguese herbivore.
    The First Stegosaur Skull Discovered in Europe
    Skull material includes the premaxilla, maxilla and the naris post elements that comprise the back of the skull. Post cranial material comprises of shoulder bones, most of the front legs, neck bones and a number of armoured plates. Miragaia seems to have had a remarkably long neck for a Stegosaur. It had an estimated fifteen cervical vertebrae (neck bones), more than long-necked Sauropods such as Diplodocus and Apatosaurus.
    The Miragaia Dinosaur Model
    The Miragaia model from Collecta shows this long neck in fine detail. In fact the head and the neck make up about twenty-five percent of the length of the entire model. Scientists have debated how flexible the neck of Miragaia was, ironically the plastic compound used to make this replica has left the model with a rather bendy neck, but this does not detract from the overall quality of the model.
    The head is narrow and the front legs are smaller than the hind legs, a trait seen in most other Stegosaur genera. The model has been painted light brown, with a red flash on the throat pouch. The armour plating and the tail spikes are painted in a dark green colour, mimicking the colouration of the top of the spine and down to the tail. The model has two shoulder spikes, these are large, more than two centimetres in length and painted bright red.
    Armour Embedded into the Skin
    The Miragaia dinosaur model has been given a rough skin texture, to give the impression that this dinosaur had large scales, with some dermal armour embedded along the flanks. Scientists are not sure what the tail of this dinosaur was like. There have been no fossils of the back-end of Miragaia found. The model makers at Collecta have given their replica a row of spines running back from over the hips to the tip of the tail.
    The model's overall length is nineteen centimetres approximately,and it is a welcome addition to the Collecta model range, one that will no doubt delight fans of Stegosaurs.

    How Does a Vacuum Packing Machine Preserve Your Food?

    Vacuum packing machine is a humble machine that needs a place in your kitchen if you are frequently finding yourself storing foods and worrying about the food getting spoiled. Both dry and moist foods can be stored by removing air and sealing. This kind of package is commonly found in store bought goods that you buy in bags. Vacuum storage was once commercial, but now it has become more affordable with small handy machines that can be used in any home. It doesn't need large counter space and hence storing and handling such devices is quite simple.
    Before buying out a vacuum sealing device for yourself, it is better to gain an understanding about how such a device works. The device works by sucking air around the food which is responsible for mold and bacteria to develop. Any living organism needs air to breathe and when air is removed around the food, no tiny organism can live and hence, your food will be free from harmful mold and bacteria. Further, oxidization and other such processes which make the foods go stale occur only when the food items react with air. When there is no air to react, such processes won't spoil your food and hence, the shelf life of the food you store can be greatly increased.
    After sealing the food using vacuum food sealer, you need to store them in refrigerator or freezer, otherwise, the food will be spoiled easily. Investing in such a device is quite a reasonable spending because you often end up storing foods and hoping the food to stay fresh. Using such packing technique, moisture in the food can be retained by limiting the amount of air inside the bag. Also, crunchy foods can be stored for several days using this sealing technique and every bite you take will be fresh as new.
