The Official Status Update Thread - Part 180: Back to School

As an interesting project we did record the color spectrum changes to see what colors of the spectrum fade as the eclipse progresses. Part of a program I set up so people could understand how variations in lighting can have a big impact on colors with the move from fluorescent lighting to LED.

What changes under LED lights. I am going LED everywhere as funds are available. Not noticed any diff. in anything.

I noticed the color of the light was differen

The red end of the spectrum fades first but much of the rest is retained, not as bad as CWF lighting though. What you saw was like replacing the sun with an LED. The light has a colder whiter look.

I ordered some from Amazon that give off a terrible light. Looks like a factory light.

We buy the Daylight model. They are bright white. Almost unpleasant if you get to high output for a given area.

LED bulbs vary all over the map, but they all have less red and orange than sunlight. Cool White Fluorescent, the indoor standard for years, has very narrow color distribution mostly in yellow green.

When the Charger is at a sunny show people ask me about the paint, the trick there was me adding a chemical that takes UV radiation that you can't see, shifts the frequency down and then radiates it as an intense blue. The color looks unreal intense, but it's a diminishing asset so the car stays covered up.

I assume 30 is still one lane there before town?

Yes, it is.

I wasn't sure what people were expecting, one guy said that he had heard animals go crazy during an eclipse.

A guy told me the deer came out of his woods into the yard...

Mine come out of the woods into the yard multiple times a day. LOL I wasn't thinking though...should have set the new trail cam on the time lapse setting for today. I haven't used that yet, but that might have been cool.

We're sneaky that way.

I've had show judges tell me that the blue and white screams at them from across the lot. Both the white vinyl and the blue exterior have brighteners in them.

You tricky guys.

It makes up for the otherwise amateur work of mine, I'll take any edge I can get.

I was watching it in between the clouds that were present. As the eclipse was behind a thick rain cloud, there was an impressive light show in the thinner clouds preceding an opening. I could only see it through polarized lenses. Lots of red, blue, and purple.
