It's WEIRD! When i click on gallery links once in a GREAT while, the gallery shows up as "Mr.X's gallery." Even if the photos were uploaded by a member whose name is NOT Mr.X. Plus, it shows up with different batches of pictures from different members at different times. I CANNOT EXPLAIN THIS

Switches, dials, meters etc have a power supply. So you can just put in a little neon indicator lamp.

You cannot turn off radium paint. It would be inconvenient to deal with that when you need complete darkness to spool up film (which is red sensitive) onto a developing reel.

Folks, do realize that not everything is about the efficiency. It's also about mercury content (10mg in each of a couple billion of discharge lamps used throughout the world adds up) and simply cost (LED stuff is a lot cheaper).
Doesn't mean there's not a ton of misinformation about lighting stuff, but i see that even here with people spreading misinformation about LED flicker.

https://eco-story.com/uncategorized/led-outdoor-lighting-vs-metal-halide/

That's the sort of fraud which enabled LED to gain the popularity in the 1st place, during 15 years in which it was NOT the most efficient light source

If the same effort and resources would be put into traditional lighting, we might have had 200 Lm/W halides and 120 Lm/W Fluorescents by now

The page i linked is as old as the existence of Tiktok as whole, and is by far not the earliest example on the internet



Regarding Fluorescents and flicker - Yep, they do flicker, and even at 100Hz here

My workshop right now is lit up with 36W T8's and the outside has a 400W halide, all on magnetic gear, and you don't see the flicker at all because it is soft. You really have to set up a test to detect it

Nearly all LED high bay luminaires on the market have mad squarewave flicker that you immediately see with your eyes
Although if we had focused on conventional lighting technologies we would not have the versatility of LED.Take a deformable garage light for example-the type that screws into a light socket. It would be *possible* to do that with fluorescent. But it would be a bit bulkier and somewhat dimmer. There are so many things that you can only really do with LED........but not all of them are only possible with it.
