LED lighting fixture is widely known for the quality of white light that is definitely generated once this product is being utilized. Yet somehow, there are actually techniques to soften the lighting effects of LED illumination to cut down the amount of brightness projected and furthermore save you cash in electric power monthly bills.

The amount of electricity which happens to be continually running through the light are going to determine the output of illumination that the LED light bulb delivers. If it happens that you could change or reduce the electricity current which is usually powering your LED light bulb, you may then have the ability to cut down the luminosity.

Having to take some extra time to make a much more dimmed effect in your dwelling and also business section can give the spot a new touch as well as artistic flare which really could be added to each and every desired spot.

This entire procedure may be very time consuming, however the end result is without question well worth the time including your effort. If you really want to reduce the luminosity you should have a resistor that could help you achieve the level of vividness required without reducing the brilliance excessively.

Step 1: Try opening the Light Emitting Diode flash light so that you can acquire access LED.

Step 2: Try to find the connection wire which connect the Light Emitting Diode to the battery source. You have to cut the connection.

Step 3: Connect the best suited resistor between the connection that is open and the Light Emitting Diode terminal; here you can actually see the vividness level and in addition adjust accordingly.

Step 4: If you find yourself not lessening the brightness level you are aiming to generate, you really need to replace your resistor level to a higher value, the higher value ends in much less illumination.

Light & Energy Company Helps Children With Limb Deformities

EcoloBlue Water from Air

The Save-A-Limb Fund was established in order to provide funds needed for children from around the world suffering from congenital or developmental limb deformities.  The fund seeks to provide assistance with the cost of surgery as well as the costs associated with surgery, such as travel and lodging for the parents from any US state or country they may come from.  It is our hope to build this fund into an endowment that will allow the International Center for Limb Lengthening to provide these services on a case-by-case basis.  EcoloBlue™ Life & Energy wants to raise the awareness internationally and allow children and adults from around the world to have an alternative.  According to statistics 1 in 15 children are born with congenital limb deformities worldwide and 1 in 125 in the US.  While most Doctors around the world would recommend AMPUTATION as a medical solution to many of these patients, Dr. Dror Paley developed new surgical procedures to reconstruct these legs and arms and give these children and adults, near normal function to live normal lives. Therefore, by raising awareness and funds, we can indeed offer financial support for children from around the world to have an alternative option.   Learn More

Your Home Will Be Your Power Company…Sun + Water = Fuel

Granf Canyon & The BIOS WaterCar

Grand Canyon & The BIOS WaterCar

In order to dispel some of the criticism over the water for fuel technology, we thought we would share what other respected authorities are working on.  The recovery act provided a  $4 million grant to Dan Nocera of MIT to work on water for fuel technology.  In short, the powers to be believe!  Get the full story by clicking on the link below.

Your home could power your car and your home! At The BIOS Organization we are developing a 72′ Convertible Mustang that uses water for fuel.  We traveled through 28 states in 28 days meeting with experts, mechanics and scientists.  After 3 configurations we were able to achieve a 58% increase in gas mileage.  This year we will begin the BIOS World Peace Tour.  We will visit elementary schools teaching peace through energy independence.

The Green Marketing Company and our publication THE GOOD WORD are working diligently to raise funds for the project.  Advertising with us helps move the project forward.

We are currently in the process of raising $30,000 to install the third generation of hydrogen systems in the car that may allow the car to run completely on water.  The car’s engine has been totally rebuilt and awaits re-installation.  Before we head out on tour this year we will have the car completely rebuilt and outfitted with an audio video  to assist with our presentations.

Would you like to spotlight your business?  Our first trip began at WTNH the New Haven ABC affiliate.  We filmed 7 spots that were viewed by millions.  The system didn’t even work at that time. This time around the system will be  tried and true and the coverage will be substantial.  Contact us today to discuss how we can help each other email Time4Change@BiosWaterCar.com

$1 million budget: Our second fund raising drive will be to create a professional documentary showcasing the technology, the world peace tour and the personal  stories behind the project.

Coal Era Coming to An End

In board rooms across the country, electric companies are deciding that many coal plants, especially small, older ones, just don’t make economic sense any more. One factor is the expectation that low prices for natural gas will continue because of the shale gas boom across the country.

Another is that new federal rules require coal plants to clean up the mercury and other toxic chemicals in their exhausts. Installing those pollution controls makes no sense when gas is so cheap.

The shift has come faster than many electricity companies expected. Every year, utilities tell the government which plants they plan to close over the coming decade. Over the course of one year, their estimates of how much coal generation they would retire nearly tripled.

If all goes as planned, within a few years only a third of the company’s power plants will run on coal. The company has already built three new natural gas plants. It’s expanding a nuclear plant and going bigger into solar and wind, Williams says.

The dramatic and swift shift away from coal at Georgia Power is part of a nationwide trend: After decades in which coal was king of electricity generation, natural gas is making a bid for the title. And it’s scoring big, unexpected wins in places like Georgia, where coal was especially dominant.

“We’re seeing that across the board, regardless of the size of the companies,” says Quin Shea, vice president for environment at the Edison Electric Institute, the industry’s trade group.

The development already has shrunk the electricity industry’s environmental footprint and reduced prices on wholesale power.   Get The Full Story
