History of Light Bulb Magnetic Light Bulbs Indoor LED Lights

MagneticallyHeldLightBulbs.com, a blog about innovative lighting, has published several new pages, including “History of the Light Bulb,” “Magnetic Light Bulbs,” and “Indoor LED Lighting.”

The page “History of the Light Bulb” from MagneticallyHeldLightBulbs.com details the development of light bulbs, from the earliest incarnations of the incandescent light bulb. The author notes that the concept of the light bulb was first explored in the early 19th century by inventors like Humphry Davey and Warren De la Rue. However, the page states that the carbon filament and the tungsten filament were both significant developments that made light bulbs “practical” for a majority of households.

“Magnetic Light Bulbs,” published on MagneticallyHeldLightBulbs.com, describes the advantages inherent in light bulbs and fixtures that utilize a magnetic design. Magnetic light bulbs, according to the page, are simpler to install than standard screw in light bulbs. Despite the convenience provided by this lighting method, the author admits that magnetic light bulbs are not generally sold in stores, and modifications kits for existing lighting hardware are rare.

Next Breakthrough Space Technologies for Canada

The Next Breakthrough Space Technologies for Canada: The Focus of the Canadian Space Commerce Association Annual Meeting

Canada has played a key role in developing critical technologies for the space sector for more than 50 years. Today if you ask any Canadian what Canada has contributed to space, they will most certainly answer the Canadarm. This iconic piece of robotic technology has created significant brand awareness globally for Canada. However space robotic technologies are evolving and while Canada is still a key contributor, it is not the only one.

As more countries spend an increasing amount of money on space technology such as satellite development, and while Canada finds itself in a position to be a contributor, it is in an increasingly competitive business field. So what then are the technologies that Canada can lead in, now and in the future? This is a central focus to be discussed at the Canadian Space Commerce Association annual meeting being held in Toronto on March 18th at the MaRS Discovery District.

Topics to be discussed at the meeting include future robotic technologies including on-orbit servicing, satellite platforms including nanosats, hosted payloads, launch technologies, cameras, lunar and Martian rovers, national defense and much more.
