It would be pleasant to have a low energy alternative to LEDs. I had to replace the LED bulbs in my kitchen as it made all my food look strange.
The light was warm but had a custard yellow color to it that seemed monochromatic. Replaced with halogen lamps until something better comes along.
- wruza 7y agoOh, that my issue too. It seems that most people do not perceive (or mind) the ‘sharpness’ of led lights, but my eyes feel like laser-pointed with some of these.
- mikestew 7y agoHigh CRI LEDs might be what you’re looking for, if you don’t have them already (and unless you specifically looked for them, you probably don’t).
- VLM 7y agoIts worth considering that prototype units ran around 6KW and my 90 watts of high CRI LEDs is very bright, so a sulfur bulb in the kitchen could cook the food off waste heat while providing reef aquarium levels of illumination in the sink causing algae blooms. When there's algae growing in your sink you know you have too much kitchen illumination. A not entirely insane, but only mostly insane, idea would be a dishwasher that had infinitely free energy and an extremely bright light source could clean dishes slowly by using immense amounts of light to grow rapid doubling algae, then cycle to mushroom darkness to eat the algae and food debris. So tens of kilowatts and distilled water for rinsing and you've got a space ship dishwasher. Of course with tens of kilowatts and distilled water, you'd be better off with thermal decomposition and autoclave functionality but maybe bio would be more popular for stylistic or marketing greenwashing purposes. I suppose on a space ship using your dishwasher to generate a couple kilos of O2 per day off food waste would be of some benefit to the life support system.
