Can infra red heat lamps be used as a light source for infra red security cameras?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
technodai asked:


That depends on the type of infra red. I’m not an expert but I think you may be confusing infra red imaging and thermal imaging.

At least some security cameras definitely use infrared source to ‘light up’ areas being monitored, as anybody up to no good could not tell they are clearly visible to infra red cameras.

Can upstairs neighbours break my lamps by stamping?

Saturday, September 3rd, 2011
Jonathan asked:


I’ve got really noisy and ‘heavy’ neighbours and I can feel and hear it everytime they walk or run around in their flat.
I have to buy 1-2 new halogen lamps a month because they die out. I do think they are supposed to last pretty long, so could this be caused by my upper neighbours?

Why are table lamps so hard to sell at a tag sale?

Saturday, September 3rd, 2011
flustered_homeowner asked:


I found a dozen or so electric table lamps in the attic of my parent’s estate. I cleaned them up and tested them to make sure they worked properly. However, no on even looks at them at my tag sale. My aunt also has a lamp she’s been trying to sell for years. Why don’t people want lamps?
