The Mysteries of LED Lights Revealed

"If you've heard about residential LED lightbulbs, you probably know that they're energy-efficient, last a long time, and are pricier than other lightbulb technologies. I've been using LED lights in my home for several months now, and overall the transition has been good. As you consider your lighting options, here a few things that you might not know about LEDs."

I've never thought of lighting as being a "geeky" affair, but like all things based on modern technology, there's a bit of geekery to be had. For instance, did you know that the reason why bugs are attracted to traditional lightbulbs is because they emit UV light? Most - though not all - LED lights emit no UV light, thus not attracting bugs. And the lifespan of Compact Fluorescent bulbs can be reduced if you're turning them off after less than 15 minutes. News to me!

We've all seen powerful photos of lightning in action and you may be wondering how you can capture the majesty of a storm the next time you're fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to witness one. While a lot matters on what Mother Nature decides to do with all that electricity, the tips below should help in capturing a great shot of lightning."
