  • I worked at Home Depot and the electrical expert / supplier's representative for the CFL Bulbs we carried at the time shared a tip to increase and ensure the longevity of the bulb: Upon the first time you power the CFL bulbs on, you're supposed to let them stay illuminated for 4-8 hours. Apparently this "properly activates" or primes the flourescent filament, or something sciencey like that. He explained that this is because flourescents are designed to be left on for elongated spans of time.

  • @cockeyedproductions I hadn't heard that but its good to know. Thanks!

  • Ok, what about making a lamp with a car HID bulb?? I have been looking around and haven't seen any:...powerful white light, How hard could it be??? do you think it is possible??

    Great videos by the way.

  • @Carlodimaximus You could probably do something like that but it might be hard to set up something to power a 12 volt light. The light out of those might also be very harsh.

  • any test film examples?

  • @AustinBrister Working on it. Building A new DSLR website right now, and light tests are on the list of things to do.
