Lighting fixtures come in different shapes, sizes and colors. Some of them can be funny looking. Some of them look like lighting fixtures from a spaceship. While some of them simply look perfect. But of course each type of lighting fixtures such as the outdoor path lighting or landscape lights are purposely designed for a specific task just pagoda inspired lighting called Three-Tier Pagoda Light.

The Three-Tier Pagoda Lighting fixtures is often found gracing our beautiful landscapes and gardens. But they can also be used to light path ways or walkways. These type of landscape lights are also great as area lighting. Any way you use it, the Three-Tier Pagoda Light will surely brighten up the place where you had it installed. In addition, this lighting fixture does not only brighten up our path, it also give make us feel secure at night.

There have been countless of times that I accidentally trip on a rock or something whenever I check on our vegetable garden in the backyard at night.  We find it dangerous that we don't even let our parents, nephews and nieces step a foot in the backyard without us to guide them at night. Even though we already have the outdoor lamps installed it is still dangerous to go out without bringing a flash light or an emergency light. The light coming from the outdoor lamps only covers a portion of our backyard. It does not reach where the vegetable garden is. However, since we had the outdoor path lighting installed just recently, our backyard does not only look secure, it also looks beautiful. It has been a great place to go camping especially when the night sky is bright with stars and moon so whenever it is possible my nieces and nephews would spending the night camping in the backyard. We would also have our meals there whenever it is possible.

Landscape lights and other lighting fixtures makes a huge impact to our residential and commercial spaces. Without these lighting fixtures that serve as our guide at night, we won't be able to accomplish anything unless we have eyes like a cat. But the most important thing of all these lights give us security and comfort at night.

Health Parks For A Heathly Lifestyle

Construction workers have been working from sun up to sun down for almost a month now. They have been working on a new health park which everybody has been talking about. I guess the government is really serious in promoting a healthy lifestyle which is great considering the increasing number of obese people, young and old alike. Compared to spas and gyms, health parks are free. The kids will surely love going in the health park because they can play outdoor games and other fun games along with other kids. Health parks are also a great place to commune with nature.

  

I used to wonder why several of my friends and colleagues have been frequenting the first health park which was opened a year ago. They have been urging me, to go with them but I am always in a hurry to go home. Intrigued, I finally went with them after our shift. What can I say? The health park is just amazing. It is even lovelier at night because of the landscape lights and other commercial outdoor lighting fixtures. You can say that the entire health park is fully illuminated by the different types of commercial outdoor lighting fixtures and landscape lights not only for the safety of everyone but for aesthetic beauty as well. The gardens and lawns are also breathtakingly enchanted because of the landscape lights.

The management of the health parks sees to it that every one is able to enjoy even during sun down. What is great is that there are zumba classes offered at no charge. I heard that zumba is a great fitness program that is very effective in losing weight. It is fun as well. Several fun runs are also held in the newly built health parks. Unfortunately, I have not been able to participate in one them because of my work. Thankfully, the zumba class is good enough. I was able to loose seven kilograms already since I joined the program. With another health park almost finish, I am sure that everybody will definitely enjoy it.

The Road To Progress

As we head on towards greatness and progress, let us not forget to protect and conserve all the things that made it possible. I am talking about the only living planet which has been the greatest provider of our day to day existence. Let us not sacrifice our home for the sake of greatness and progress as that will lead to our destruction. There are means and ways to survive and advance without sacrificing the other. It may not be easy but it is possible.

Perhaps you have heard a lot of things concerning global warming and climate change and how we can help this world from its total destruction. It is not too late for all of us to save our only home. Public and private sectors as well as government and non-government agencies are working together to preserve, conserve and protect what is left of this planet. As individual we should also do our share by following and supporting the laws implemented by our government for the conservation of our natural resources. This will not only save this planet but this will also save us all.

In line with this manufacturers of consumer electronic appliances and lighting fixtures are encourage to develop a more earth-friendly products especially those products which we use all the time. Among these products are the lighting fixtures such as the gooseneck lights and other commercial outdoor lighting fixtures which are widely used in different residential and business establishments such as shopping malls, warehouses, hotels and restaurants to name a few. Commercial outdoor lighting fixtures are important to promote economic progress. It is also important for the safety of everyone. Just imagine a place without any commercial outdoor lighting fixtures. That would be a scary place to be.

Going to another planet to start a new civilization sounds interesting yet scary as well. The chance of surviving the space travel is uncertain; the chance of survival in the new planet is even more uncertain. It is okay to aim for something higher such as creating another civilization outside earth. However, let us not forget that we should protect this civilization first.

Earth Hour 2014 Campaign

Saving the only living planet in this entire galaxy is the responsibility of every citizen of this planet.  As stewards of this planet, we should take care of it; we should nurture and propagate it. Although we have heard several reports that there are signs of life in some planets from another galaxy, but these information is still not confirmed. There are no definite data that proves that those other planets are friendly enough to be our next home. Up to this day, Earth is still the only confirmed living planet and the only home to us all.

To save this dying planet, various non-government and government organizations are in fact working hand in hand in protecting Earth. Different campaigns are organized to raise social awareness in propagating, preserving and protecting that is left of our planet. One of these campaigns is the Earth Hour which was spearheaded by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The goal of this campaign is to address the climate change which is hurting all of us. This coming March 29^th, at exactly eight thirty in the evening all of us are encouraged to join in the Earth Hour campaign by turning off all lights if possible especially the architectural lighting fixtures which are used by commercial establishments such as hotels, shopping malls, factories and billboard operators.

 

As we all know these commercial establishments use a lot of energy to operate especially in their architectural lighting fixtures. It is a good thing that government has banned the use of incandescent lights as these type of lighting fixtures are not efficiently providing light. These incandescent lights consumes a lot of energy instead. These type of light bulbs were normally used in the gooseneck lights which are used to light the billboards of commercial establishments and other commercial lighting fixtures which lights various commercial establishments. Some of us also use this kind of light bulbs at home. We were also using this kind of light bulb before it was banned since they are less expensive compared to those energy saving lights.

 
Thankfully, the manufacturers of architectural lighting fixtures such as sign lights, flood lights and spot lights and home lighting fixtures have been using energy saving lights such as LED or light emitting diode or CFL or compact fluorescent lamp in their lighting designs. It could have been better if we could use solar panels for our energy consumption. But for now, the use of LED lamps and CLF in our lighting fixtures and participating in the Earth Hour campaign are enough to help our ailing planet.

Our Own Open Theater

Watching movies is a great bonding activity we do together with our friends, family members and love ones. It is fun and entertaining. However, as much as we all want to watch a movie, we cannot do it all the time. Other than it is costly, we it is hard to squeeze in a date with the important people in our lives because of our busy schedules. In addition, it is hard to go out and watch a movie because of the weather.

Fortunately, my uncle bought a video projector online a few days ago and asked me to set it up. He said that we could use it watch a movie using our laptops. I could also borrow it once in a while. He said that watching it through a projector can make you feel as if you are watching from a movie theater as well. He is right. Right after, my cousin and I set up the projector and laptop in the garden we all turned off all the lighting fixtures except the round step lights to watch the movie.

The step lights specifically the round step light with grill 20 watt 12 volt jc were initially set up to highlight their beautiful garden in the backyard. The round step lights were also set up for the safety of everybody. But I guess the step lights are not only made for these reasons. They are perfect for open theaters as well. Since the round step lights are UL (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.) listed and ETL (Intertek Testing Services) approved it assures us that it is safe to play and have fun in the yard even if the lawn is wet just like watching a good movie in our make shift open theater together with your loveones.

I guess my cousins and I will be spending more bonding moments at my uncle’s place. It is a relief that their house is just across ours. My uncle also promised me that I could borrow the projector once in a while so I could also have a movie-theater like experience at home. But I would rather watch it at their place since it is so much fun watching the movie in their bigger yard together with my cousins.
