2020 Global Analysis of Suspended Lamps Market By ASTEL LIGHTING, BOVER Barcelona, Ares, KARMAN, Lombardo - re:Jerusalem

For a book lover, stepping into a bookstore is always exciting, but a new bookstore in China makes the experience absolutely spellbinding. Dujiangyan Zhongshuge, located in Chengdu, was designed by Shanghai-based architecture firm X+Living, which has created several locations for Zhongshuge. The two-story space appears cathedral-like, thanks to the mirrored ceilings and gleaming black tile floors which reflect the bookcases, creating a visual effect that feels akin to an M.C. Escher drawing. The mirror ceiling in the space is the signature of Zhongshuge bookstore, says Li Xiang, founder of X+Living. It effectively extends the space by reflection.

Upon entering, shoppers encounter C-shaped bookcases, which create a series of intimate spaces. In the center of the store, towering arches and columns take advantage of the full height of the space. These bookcases were inspired by the history and topography of the region. We moved the local landscape into the indoor space, says Li. The project is located in Dujiangyan, which is a city with a long history of water conservancy development, so in the main area, you could see the construction of the dam integrated into the bookshelves.

The design of the interiors was inspired by the topography of the region.

The firm used film printed with books on the upper shelves so it would appear that books stretched from floor to ceiling. If we placed real books on the upper shelves, its not only hard for readers to reach them but also difficult for operators to take care of, says Li. The store already has a collection of over 80,000 books, so theres actually no waste of space. Another key part of the design was lighting. We designed light belts on each shelf to create a good light effect, which also draws the outline of each layer, making the shelf more stereoscopic and clear to give readers a visual impact and also make it convenient for readers to find books on the shelves, says Li.

The architects went to great lengths in ensuring the lighting was such that each shelf provided a visual impact, while allowing visitors ease in finding specific books.

Stadium Lighting Market 2019 | How The Industry Will Witness Substantial Growth In The Upcoming Years | Exclusive Report By DataIntelo - TechnoWeekly

GrowFlux has recently partnered with Houston, TX based horticultural lighting manufacturer XtraLight to offer wireless IoT controls alongside XtraLight PowerGrove LED Grow Lights. The relationship expands XtraLights horticultural lighting solutions to encompass intelligent lighting controls and allows XtraLight to offer complete turnkey intelligent lighting systems for greenhouses and indoor farms.

GrowFluxs IoT lighting controls pair well with XtraLights high performance PowerGrove lights. The GrowFlux Dimmer offers a simple and easy-to-use control solution for lighting installations of any size. Precision control of horticultural lighting enables tremendous energy savings, since horticultural lighting energy consumption represents one of the highest operating costs in indoor farming and greenhouse agriculture. Advanced control schedules also enable yield enhancement by adapting lighting levels to the stage of crop development, reducing crop stress and improving overall yield.

We have been impressed by XtraLights product lineup and commitment to quality and are excited to bring advanced features like smartphone control and energy saving scheduling to their product line, says GrowFlux CEO Eric Eisele. The close cooperation between the two companies allows GrowFlux to offer a user experience tailored to XtraLights products. Starting in October 2020, all models and configurations of XtraLights PowerGrove lights will be available for precision control in GrowFluxs platform. XtraLights customers will benefit from adding customized controls to their LED horticulture lights.

XtraLights PowerGrove Designer Javier Silva says, We were thrilled to find a solution which provides luminaire controls with a large-scale capacity. The GrowFlux system allows growers, cultivators and horticulturists to control multiple fixtures with one simple application.

The use of high-tech greenhouse facilities and vertical farms for fruit and vegetable crop cultivation is skyrocketing in certain parts of the globe as a response to increased demand for fresh produce, less reliable weather conditions and the rising scarcity of cultivable farmland. Precision farming ensures all-year production, higher yields, improvement in product quality and higher marketable value. Modern indoor farming technologies offer the possibility to boost plant density as compared with open field cultivation. However, failing to provide adequate lighting at the necessary points in a dense canopy is bound to result in suboptimal crop yields. For instance, using more toplight modules will only lead to a bigger electricity bill while the lower parts of the plants will still not receive the proper amount of light.

Interlights for a higher degree of precision in farmingLight in indoor crop cultivation could become a limiting factor, especially when it comes to the lower portions of the canopy. Generally speaking, interlights ensure that the plants surface is evenly lit and thus promote faster plant growth and improved biomass accumulation while enhancing the sink activity of the crop. Experts at Tungsram Agritech designed the Interlight LED lighting system as a supplementary light source in greenhouses to light the lower, shadowed parts of the vegetation. Installed between the rows of plants, these modules enable growers to improve the taste and nutritional value of vegetables by ensuring that the entire surface of the plant receives the necessary amount of light. Interlights add a new, much needed aspect to the horticulture industry, especially in Nordic countries, where the amount of natural light is much lower on an annual basis, says Anita Zelnik, Product Manager at Tungsram Agritech. As a result of low heat radiation and the passive cooling system, Tungsrams LED interlight provides the light needed by plants without unwanted heat generation, thus ensuring that all plants are lit at the points where they benefit the most, she highlights. We have also tested our product for the most widely used chemicals in indoor farming to ensure that all the components are chemicals resistant, which makes crop and greenhouse management considerably easier," Ms. Zelnik notes.

Tungsrams linear LED Lighting systems use highly efficient horticultural LEDs, which deliver light output in a range of 138 to 309 mol/s per module, providing the optimized spectrum for crops to grow prosperously all year round. The mix of red and blue LEDs follows a standard recipe for the growth stimulation of several crop types such as tomatoes and cucumbers. Some versions of the interlight module also features white light, which besides many useful aspects like improved pollinator navigation and deeper interception in the canopy, also ensures a more comfortable working environment for the human eye and the color of the crop can be seen better. The modules lifetime exceeds 50,000 hours.

Plenty of experiments have proved that photosynthetic light use efficiency increases with interlights, meaning that it is more electrically efficient to light plant with interlights than with toplights. The leaves in the lower canopy will be much greener and lusher, the ripening time is much shorter, and the truss is much more homogeneous, says Lrinc Utasi, agronomist at Tungsram Agritech.

Creating a warm hygge-lit atmosphere with candles, string lights, twinkle lights and a warm beverage is just one of the tips to help make it through the heart of winter (during a pandemic).

We made it through the past 6 months, but what are some of the ways we did it? Planted vegetables, grew flowers, revamped outdoor spaces, went on bike rides, baked bread, homeschooled and found new ways of staying connected virtually.

But the curtain closes and a new scene begins enter the fall and winter months. Anxiety might be settling in about how to do this again in the heart of winter. Summer is over and its time for some serious planning for optimum mental health. Here are some tips to help make it through:

Rounding the next corner, rest assured there are things to do, to not only pull through these unprecedented times together, but maybe get a glimpse into what the new normal should have looked like all along.

5 tips to manage pandemic stress during the winter - The South End

Even with cold weather approaching and some businesses such as Regal movie theaters shutting down indefinitely while COVID-19 inhibits the appeal of being indoors, Northern Illinois residents still have options to get out of the house for arts, entertainment and recreation.

Operators of destinations such as cinemas and family centers are getting creative and staying open, featuring bowling, laser tag and miniature golf as they prepare for temperatures to drop, in hopes of drawing customers to what they believe are safe indoor environments.

Meanwhile, senior centers are continuing to welcome ideas for virtual events and outdoor, in-person get-togethers for limited numbers of participants at a time. And cultural facilities and downtown business organizations are extending into November seasonal attractions that have proven popular during this strange year.

Mayor Wayne Jett, co-owner of the McHenry Downtown Indoor Theater, said the business is changing directions to offer more than just film showings. He said one of its theaters is being remodeled to include a 20-foot-by-12-foot stage that will remain even after the outbreak is under control, with the right lighting and sound to host live acts such as stand-up comedy, magic shows and plays with small casts.

Comedians Jim Florentine and Kevin Farley are set to come to the revamped theater for two shows each the nights of Oct. 23 and Nov. 6, respectively, with tickets available online at bit.ly/3nGGfOa.

In downtown DeKalb, the Egyptian Theatre has succeeded in showing off its $6.5 million expansion by increasing the frequency of its haunted tours, normally offered only once a month or every other month, said Jeanine Holcomb, marketing and communications director for the theater. They are now available on all Friday nights through the end of the month and into November, she said.

Tickets for those tours are almost sold out, with only one remaining for Oct. 16, and limited availability for the theaters high octane haunted tour on Halloween night, which will feature a special paranormal medium tour guide, Holcomb said. At least two more tours are going to be offered in November, which is unusual for the theater, Holcomb said.

We felt like it would be the logical choice to keep offering them. People keep buying them, she said.

It is also showing classic horror movies Saturday and Sunday nights in its 1,400-seat theater that allows adequate social distancing, as well as a production of the Rocky Horror Picture Show Oct. 30 that will scale back how close cast members get to the audience, Holcomb said.

We cant wait until COVID has passed and we can have a large party and show people the new digs, she said. Until then, were glad to continue having people in small groups.

In Aurora, downtown storefronts along the Fox River are decorated by local artists with colorful skulls as part of the celebration of Mexican heritage for the Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, that the organization Aurora Downtown has helped put on, its manager Marissa Amoni said. The area will be known as Sugar Skull City from Oct. 15 to Nov. 15 for people to take self-guided tours, and the month will include a virtual how-to class on making your own sugar skulls, according to the Aurora Downtown website.

We have a very large downtown, so things are separated, and people dont congregate necessarily along one street. Were using that to our advantage, and weve come up with crowd-free activities, which include scavenger hunts, Amoni said. We are inviting people to downtown to experience authentic Mexican culture by visiting Mexican bakeries, restaurants and seeing decorated storefronts. Dozens of businesses have hired local artists to decorate their storefronts for Day of the Dead heritage.

Agritourism operators in Northern Illinois offering visitors the chance to navigate corn mazes, pick pumpkins and enjoy other harvest season fun on the farm are expecting to have a big year as the heightened risk of indoor virus spread gives outdoor activities more appeal, the Northwest Herald reported last month.

For Selmis Greenhouse, Farm and Pumpkin Patch in Rock Falls, whose corn maze this year is in the shape of a decorated skull when seen from above in honor of Day of the Dead, the weekends have indeed been busy, farmhand Ava Prior said.

The pandemic and the limited options for having fun away from home this year may have brought some first-timers to the farm this season, even as certain attractions, such as its haunted house and jump houses, are closed this year because of the outbreak, Prior said.

Id say we have had a lot of new faces here for sure, Prior said.

Residents and tourists looking for a bit of friendly competition can test their skills at bowling, miniature golf, arcade games or laser tag at Plum Hollow Family Center in Dixon, which has been open since late June and is limiting groups to fewer than 25 customers, with empty lanes between parties.

Plum Hollows bar is shut down, but food and beverage service is still available at tables.

In comparison to being closed, its much better, Plum Hollow owner Al Norman said. We make our money on the large groups. Its that window, historically December through March, where we need to be able to have big numbers of people in the building. But for right now, its keeping people on payroll, its keeping the lights going. Were not losing money.

Senior citizens, who are at greater risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19 than younger populations, still have options to get out of the house and gather together in small numbers, or online.

McHenry Township Senior Center is unable to host programming in its facility still, activity director Jane Gregory said. However, she has found some seniors enjoy the knitting and crocheting classes she has been able to offer in a park shelter near the center, and games such as hangman played over video chat, including a round Gregory led Thursday, have been a hit, too, she said.

We play pokeno on Mondays, bingo on Wednesdays and exercise (via Zoom) on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Gregory said.

She is also open to suggestions from community members on virtual or in-person events to offer to small numbers of participants.

We are planning on being outside and doing activity even into next month if we can, she said, adding that seniors can access a shelter with a fireplace that can accommodate up to six people with social distancing in place.
