MCERT1 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Halogen lights Halogen lamps pose a fire hazard.......(over exaggerated fire safety lecture)......I conclude we must either place a fire suppression system in the building in question, or use another safe lighting source.

Ami89E1234 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 i say we switch to OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diode) like an LED, but organic and much betterOLED:A significant benefit of OLED displays over traditional liquid crystal displays (LCDs) is that OLEDs do not require a backlight to function. Thus they draw far less power and, when powered from a battery, can operate longer on the same charge. Because there is no need for a backlight, an OLED display can be much thinner than an LCD panel.coulda also taken it from a PopSci magazine i first heard about it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
