Suspend-It

I have always been a fan of beautiful home gardens especially those with garden waterfalls or backyard ponds. Back in the days when I still live with my granny, we had a huge garden with a dose of every kind of “nature” you can think of – fruit bearing trees, butterflies, flowers, bonsai plants, birds, fishes, you get the idea. My granny loved landscaping so she spent most of her time in the garden.During those times I loved playing with the fishes in the pond, although granny always tells me not to. I always try to catch the fishes using an improvised fishing rod I made with a stick and nylon string. I always end up being scolded by granny when the fishing hook gets stuck in the pond filters.Anyhow, those were some memories of my childhood. Now that I live in the city, I really miss the tranquil setting of our old house. Perhaps I can build a small pond in the backyard, but then I won’t be able to have time to maintain it. Oh well.

From incandescent to fluorescent, comes the led light bulb. In the previous years, fluorescent bulbs became so popular because of their efficient use of energy. LED’s were already used then but only for electronic gadgets. Nowadays, led bulbs are becoming more and more popular. They are already widely used: auto brake lights, signal lights, interior decorations, outdoor lighting, underwater lighting for pools, etc.

Ever since, LED’s have always been one of the most efficient light sources. LED’s have long life, around 50,000 hours compared to 15,000 hours for fluorescent. They are also rugged enough for industry use; water resistant for underwater; and safe enough for home use. Also, Led bulbs do not break, nor spark like fluorescents. They also have the lowest energy requirements. The only thing not good with LED’s is their expensive price tag. They haven’t been this popular before because they were not mass-produced for industrial uses. But now, since prices are starting to go down, more people will be using LED’s in their homes. Perhaps in a few years, the fluorescents will no longer be used, just like the incandescent bulbs.
