We got a new Whirlpool refrigerator last week. The light bulbs in it (model w11125625) suck: they have a color temperature of about 7000k and they flicker like crazy (they flicker fast, not everyone can see it, but OMFG I can!).
What is far far worse is that Whirlpool made a proprietary light socket! The socket requires that the bulb be narrow far longer than a regular bulb.
I felt trapped with Whirlpool’s crappy bulbs! After scratching my head and getting a hint from my local hardware store, I was able to fix it. I bought a E26/E27 base adapter to candelabra base adapter. Then I had to take a Dremel tool to the adapter to get it to fit. Then I put a candelabra-base bulb in it. Problem solved.
The light bulb also goes by these model numbers: W10311527, 2260802, W10194423, WPL-4396822
Can I borrow your digital camera with manual controls?
I’m trying to capture something called the phantom array effect using a still camera. This is how some LED lights flicker, making what looks like a series of dots across your vision. I’m working with scientists and regulators to decrease this growing problem in the lighting world. I’m trying to make a compelling demonstration photo but my smartphone won’t do it! Are you bothered by flicker as well? I’d love to hear from you! More.
Milestone! Abigail broke her arm Thursday on the playground at school. She was playing with friends, tripped over a rock and says that she kept herself from hitting her head with her outstretched hand. Yesterday we went to the doctor and got a splint! “I stayed strong when things got tough!”
It is a small but very real buckle fracture at the end of her radius from a “FOSH” Fall with out-stretched hand. She’s to wear her splint nearly all the time for the next several weeks.
My organization, Autistry Studios is trying to get into creating full-color items. Things like: lasercut jigsaw puzzles, other items on wood, t-Shirts and small fabric items, paper greeting cards and such. We want to be able to prototype small runs (<100 items or so) in-house and then consider outsourcing large runs that are profitable.
What couple technologies are best for us? So far, I’ve been considering (silk)screen printing, dye sublimation printing, UV printing (via our local print shop), and gluing photographs to wood.
The internet is full of guides, I’m getting dizzy trying to absorb them all!
