| Brighten your décor with lamps and shades
Improving lighting in a home can be as involved as bringing in a lighting designer or as simple as heading to a hardware store for a dimmer. For those looking for minimal change, yet wanting a fresh look, changing a lampshade is one way to add another design element to a room. Floor and table lamps create a cozy mood that can be enhanced by simply plugging the lamp into affordable dimmers that plug into the wall, available at most hardware stores. "The room will feel a little warmer, cozy because you want to go sit next to that lamp and curl up," said Jeff Boone, a lighting consultant and manager at Lamps Plus in Bellevue. "If it's brightly lit, it will feel like activity." And interesting lampshades are widely available at discount and high-end stores.
Heraeus on the future for lamp-pumped solid-state lasers
Although it provides the lifeblood for the majority of industrial solid-state lasers, the humble CW lamp or flashlamp is rarely afforded the importance it deserves. While the spotlight of attention has been on diode-pumped laser for some years, their lamp-pumped counterparts quietly outsell diode-pumped systems year after year, as the figures from a recent marketplace survey show. This does not mean that the industry has got it all wrong in recent years. Diode-pumped systems do offer clear advantages in many lower-power applications, first and foremost lifetime and stability. However, understanding the capabilities of lamp-pumped lasers and their development might help to make the right system choice for the future depending on application needs.
