Patagonia outdoor products manufacturing business from climbing pitons started, but in a particular rock climbing experience, he found a beautiful rock had long suffered because of " repeated knock Pitons, pull out, and then typing " process and suffering devastated, so he alerted the company 's main product is a step to destroy his beloved rock. Since then, he decided to abandon the cause of the Pitons and instead produced without the use of a hammer knock, will not leave marks on the wall rock wedge, not off in the future use of the rock climbing community wedge trend, but also the first step in a friendly environment.
Found himself in a familiar sacred natural sites have been vandalism; he led the outdoor product company as a whole -house energy savings from the start, to launch a series of Green Revolution:
Since the 1980s, Patagonia decided not to use plastic bags containing garbage, stop the supply of paper cups in the cafeteria, and a comprehensive shift to energy efficient lighting, an annual savings of several million plastic garbage and a quarter of electricity.
In 1994, Patagonia made the first internal environmental assessment report found that industrial cultivation of cotton greatest harm to the environment, so in 1996 the full use of all cotton clothing 100% organic cotton. Meanwhile, Patagonia was the first use of recycled plastic bottles made of polyester fiber company, each producing 150 jackets for the earth will be able to save 42 gallons of oil, to avoid emissions of 0.5 tons of toxic emissions.
They also unprecedented self- pay "global tax" - to donate 1% of annual turnover to support environmental groups, and called on more than 1,300 companies have joined the ranks, has so far contributed $ 25 million to more than one thousand non-profit organization.
Create a green brand, sounds bad, but an annual levy their own taxes by 1% of Earth, and the annual growth rate is limited to 5 % of the companies exactly how to make money?
Such subvert common sense of course impossible green companies a lot of money, but the magic is, Patagonia on many little maverick, even mouthing the industry 's environmental persistence, but all passed the test of the market, and even bring up a new wave of industry.
For example, in the mid-1990s, the original folder thermal underwear products all through training bags and cardboard wrapped in layers, but in order to avoid creating a pile of discarded immediately after unpacking the garbage, they decided to cancel the package directly to the underwear hanging hanger sell, more lightweight underwear curled up with a rubber band beam is placed on the shelf. There were a lot of people to warn them, Patagonia may be because the packaging is so uncompetitive lost 30% of sales.

Japan developed a deep UV germicidal LED battery light
A research team in Japan on the 10th announced the successful developed a deep ultraviolet germicidal LED battery lights. The new Deep UV LED battery lights use only batteries will be able to work this technology in Japan and the United States have made the basic patent. Compared with traditional low pressure mercury lamp, a small, energy-saving, environmental protection has long life and other advantages of the volume.
In the field of health care and food, often using low-pressure mercury lamp sterilization, but because of the mercury is likely to cause harm to the environment, so researchers have been hoping to find the excellent performance of environmental alternatives. Deep UV is a relatively short wavelength ultraviolet light, to kill bacteria and viruses more efficient.
Wavelength of about 260 nanometers deep UV LED battery light brightness, luminous efficiency and lifetime of the affected substrate crystal. Tokyo University of Agriculture and Tokuyama Chemical composition of the research team developed a high-purity aluminum nitride can be made crystal technology, and then get the current high-performance crystalline substrate to ensure the sterilizing effect of LED battery lights and life.
According to reports, this new type of deep- ultraviolet LED battery lights use only batteries will be able to work and available for portable devices and sterilization medium sterilization. This technology in Japan and the United States has made the basic patent. Tokuyama Chemical Company plans to further improve product performance, for in 2015 to bring products to market.

What are the common causes of fluorescent 18W fluorescent tube?
Fluorescent broken home, there are many causes, probably because there is no regulator, power fluctuations cause, there may be a lamp aging, here we analyze in detail next.
The phenomenon is: one or both ends of the lamp black, blackened large range, or around the 18W fluorescent tube black surface. Lamp does not light in motion, or have short flash, the action does not immediately extinguished discharge. Tube ends are issued without producing deep orange glow discharge effect. The reason enough to prolonged use, and the two electrodes simultaneously around the phosphor coating faded down or end faded off. At this point, you should replace the lamp.
Lamp usage time is not long, far below the nominal time. The reason is not suitable for the power supply voltage, switching frequency caused by too much to start, or because of poor contact pin. Approach is to identify the data ballast on? Minimize the switching frequency, detailed examination of parts and accessories for all contacts.
The bulb-end color, shading occurs in a wide range, black or brown rings ring. The reason for this phenomenon is the condensation of mercury lamps, ballasts and lamps do not match, or a bad starter quality. It should also measure the voltage compliance, the contact portions are good contact.
Tube ends only dark light without light, because the capacitor short circuit inside the starter or stick inseparable contacts or wiring errors. Treatment methods are: put a new starter Look.
Phenomenon is closed when the start switch, flash a long time, this continues, the lamp will soon be damaged. The reason for this 18W fluorescent tube may be fluorescent tube has been in use for a long life will end. If you are a new lamp that happens, then that is the quality of the lamp is not high, or because of outdated and useless starter. If the supply voltage is too low, the ambient temperature is too low or the lamp is difficult to start. Overhaul, if it is a new lamp should put it to another test a better light on what, if still difficult start, the lamp is a problem, as it proved to be a good test tube, then the regulator should be checked starter and ballast, or increase the voltage, or until the room temperature reaches room temperature before starting to use by the regulator.
Noise emitted 18W fluorescent tube ballasts, which was mainly due to problems caused by the installation undesirable, or ballast internal iron vibration, or the lamp and ballast specifications do not match, the ballast itself, fever, there are other reasons ballast partial short circuit.
This method of treatment 18W fluorescent tube is the ballast with a soft rubber cushion pad up so will reduce some noise. Also check the wiring for errors in detail, and then there are the ballast removed, alone with the rated voltage, so that you can determine whether there are problems with the ballast.

Park lamp is an integral part in landscape design
Landscape design is an integral, but it is now not only plays the role of lighting, but also an important component of the landscape. Park lamp is most suitable colors white and blue. Other colors, such as red, orange or green, will make gardens and other green plant in the landscape becomes grotesque ugly. The footlights, rotating lights and colorful combinations of light effects worse, according to the rotation of the light ring on the surface of the pond, are dizzying. Therefore, the lighting design is still to be simple and practical.
From a practical point of view, when you walk through the garden after dark, but also to be able to see the road. So beside the porch, street, steps and seats are required for proper lighting. The brightness of the lights is a problem to be solved, the effect of low- intensity lighting is usually much better, but also to create a soft atmosphere. Good lighting is installed according to the actual results, usually according to the steps along the road sides and under the park lamp from low at the top than from scratch photographed lighting effects. Here, the key issue is the quality and position of lamps, rather than lighting design.
Lighting designer should be designed as a landscape art forms, drawing inspiration from the stage lighting techniques have dramatic effects in. To make your garden in the evening to be fully demonstrated, it is necessary to fully understand the best results of these techniques. Spotlight is the oldest and most direct stage lighting, which is usually a beam of light to illuminate an object from a height. In the garden, the spotlight can be used to highlight a statue or a plant. Its effect is to make a scene stand out in a dark background. Scattered light beam flood park lamp, lighting broader, softer lighting and more. Floodlight can be used in a scene, lighting or for a particular plant. Back lighting, as the name implies, is mounted on the back of the lamp body, highlighting its outline shape. It's critical that the light source is hidden, so back spot park lamp can create a truly theatrical effect.
Landscape art modern landscape lights are an indispensable part. It not only has a high ornamental itself, but also stressed that harmonization lamp landscape and scenic arts history and culture, the surrounding environment.
For example, red light lantern shape Landscape bring a festive atmosphere to the square, green palm lights stand out in the school of tropical pool. Landscape applies Plaza, residential areas, public green landscape places. Be careful not to use too diverse, so overwhelming, so cluttered landscape flashy.
