Ashton said once the full build-out is finished upstream, the model predicts the eruption should be 6 to 8 ft above the top of the volcano in the event of a 100-year storm. So next time it rains in the high desert of New Mexico, do not be surprised to hear that the world’s first storm water volcano has erupted.  

The design includes a solar powered water pump and it recirculates the  water, reducing wastage. The plants running up the lamppost have been specially chosen for their ability to deal with pollution. There’s also options in the design for bird boxes, and commercially, for the bottom pot to be used for advertising.

The basement houses a four-foot tall wrought iron cross that had been on St. Mary’s Convent when it burned down decades ago. It also houses stained glass from the house of worship that is now King Street Pub. Those items appear unharmed. 

Quick View: Great Eagle’s LEDs produce 1500 lumens and last 25,000 hours, making them a great deal if you’re looking for a mid-priced, basic LED.

Buyers love these light bulbs for the simple, durable design and the lights have great customer reviews overall. Some users noted that their sliding dimmer is now finicky – most of the dimming happens in just a fraction of the slide – but also note it’s a minor inconvenience, not a deal breaker.

Ascher offers these 6-watt LEDs in two hues, Warm White (2700K) and Daylight (4000K), and each bulb puts out 700 lumens, a bit lower than most typical LEDs but more than enough to use as everyday lighting. These bulbs are also dimmable, so while 700 lumens is the brightest the lights can go, they can also dim to just 10% of their capacity to create a softer ambience.

The state, parish governments, religious groups and the Red Cross had set up shelters across the state that could accommodate as many as 13,000 evacuees, but only about 500 Louisiana residents made use of them.

True to their word, they were back at 7:30 a.m. They cleared the street, pruned the splintered oak before removing it and helped get fallen limbs and glass out of our yard.

LED light bulbs are the biggest change in lighting since Thomas Edison invented the first commercially-viable incandescent. LEDs are 90% more efficient than even the modern versions of Edison’s invention and can last for thousands of hours before needing replacement. LEDs also boast a wide variety of color, brightness, and control that is simply unthinkable with incandescents. Needless to say, LEDs are the future!

One of his most popular pieces, Torus, is a circular expanse of super-polished steel that reflects the landscape or water in front of it. It’s there in front of you, yet appears transparent.

As you pull each incandescent bulb from your garden lights, try to read the wattage rating printed on it. Then shop for LED bulbs whose wattage is promised as equivalent. For example, you may find that a 1.5-watt LED bulb promises to replace an 11-watt incandescent bulb while delivering as much or more light, so much greater is LED’s efficiency. 

The lights will be brighter in the center and dim as they reach outward to “highlight” the shape of the girders and piers.
