Chaval asked:


I need to use my Nikon D70s digital slr to photograph oil paintings and other works of art. I do not know much about lighting so I need some assistance and direction in finding the right type of lights and bulbs that would be appropriate for taking quality digital images of paintings.

Thanks so much for your answers!

Kill All Artists asked:


I know fleuroscent lights make you look hideous. Some stores I go to, I look great in the lighting and some stores enhances every little flaw. I want bright lighting that makes you look attractive still. Any suggestions?

I want to install lighting in my pool, how do I not electrocute myself?

Friday, July 17th, 2009
15fsg546rge1rrheljh45hjr90459ty3 asked:


I wanted to install a line of LED lighting underneath the overhang of the deck over the pool. Think the right angle at the top of the liner, where the liner meets the deck. It won’t be in the water, but I wanted to run a line of lighting around the circumference of the pool. Even though, is there a regulator you have to attach to the line somewhere so that voltage can not flow into the water unchecked? Just in case any current got into the pool itself.

Light Therapy a Natural Anti Depressant

Friday, July 17th, 2009
Light therapy asked:


“Light therapy” target=”_self” href=”http://solvital-lighttherapy.co.uk/index.asp?ID=881″>Light therapy consists of exposing a strong light (of 10 000 lux) for about half an hour.

This treatement is done with the help of special light therapy lamps.

In autumn or winter a large number of people feel tired, have no energy, their morale is low and they eat more than usual.  For certain people, this state could send them into depression.

These symptoms are due to our metabolisms difficult adaptation to the autumn winter season, with shorter darker and depressive days.

At its peak this phenomenon is called SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).  It can also show itself in a lighter form called “Winter Blues”.

These phenomenons are between the months of September and March.

Almost 20% of the population suffers from winter blues.  5% of the population becomes victims of deep depression: Loss of sense of humour, a desire to be alone, weight gain and a loss of interest for usual activities.

Light therapy is a simple, effective and medically recognised way to beat these symptoms.
