  2. Landscape lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landscape_lighting

    Conventionally generated and sourced electricity remains the most used source for landscape lighting in the early twenty-first century. With the combination of increasing demand for more efficient lighting, increasing availability of sustainable designs, global warming considerations, and aesthetic and safety concerns in garden and landscape design the methods and equipment of outdoor ...

  3. Floodlight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floodlight

    The most common type of floodlight was the metal-halide lamp, which emits a bright white light (typically 75–100 lumens/Watt). Sodium-vapor lamps are also commonly used for sporting events, as they have a very high lumen to watt ratio (typically 80–140 lumens/Watt), making them a cost-effective choice when certain lux levels must be provided.

  4. Building automation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_automation

    Lighting can be turned on, off, or dimmed with a building automation or lighting control system based on time of day, or on occupancy sensor, photosensors and timers. [9] One typical example is to turn the lights in a space on for a half-hour since the last motion was sensed.

  5. Lighting control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighting_control_system

    The major advantage of a lighting control system over stand-alone lighting controls or conventional manual switching is the ability to control individual lights or groups of lights from a single user interface device. This ability to control multiple light sources from a user device allows complex lighting scenes to be created.

  6. Intelligent street lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_street_lighting

    Intelligent street lighting refers to public street lighting that adapts to movement by pedestrians, cyclists and cars in a smart city. [1] Also called adaptive street lighting, it brightens when sensing activity and dims while not. This is different from traditional stationary illumination, and that which dims on a timer.

  7. Floodgate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floodgate

    height = the height of a non-submerged flood gate from the bottom of the water column to the water surface measured in metres. If the rectangular flood gate is submerged below the surface the same equation can be used but only the height from the water surface to the middle of the gate must be used to calculate the force on the flood gate.

  8. Magnesium torch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_torch

    A magnesium torch is a bright light source made from magnesium, which can burn underwater and in all weather conditions. They are used for emergency illumination for railroad applications. They were also used in the 1950s up to the early 1970s as a light source for scuba diving, and were featured occasionally in television shows. A relay of ...

  9. Collections maintenance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collections_maintenance

    Preventing light damage is difficult because light is necessary for visitors as well as people who are working with the objects. Exposure can be diminished by ensuring lights are only on when people are present, either by vigilant staff members turning on and off lights, timer switches or with motion sensors.
