Here's one that will work fine.

Here is a breakdown of spec: T25 25W 125-130V E14 CL OVEN

T25 = the shape of the bulb is largely cylindrical on its sides, and 25mm in diameter

25W = as an indicator of brightness and power consumption

125-130V = incandescent bulbs rated slightly higher than the operating voltage they are used on will have longer life, more durability, and warmer color temperature than an incandescent rated at the nominal supply voltage

E14 = the size in mm of the screw-base. US candelablra is E11, US standard is E26/E27, US "intermediate" is E17.

CL = the glass of the bulb is clear

Any bulb with E14 base, that operates on 120v, that is suitable for high temperature, that uses 25W or less, and that fits in the supplied space will be fine.

A thermostatically controlled switch and a heat lamp with bulb should do the trick.

If you have an Amazon account or a Wall Mart nearby they are damn close to a buck a piece. Be careful of taking them as you go as the landlord might try to claim it against your security deposit.

If you pay your own electric get some low wattage LED bulbs and then just leave the cheapest ones you can find from a box store or the dollar store you can find behind. You'll likely save more than the price of the bulb in energy going with LED or similar.

Its just an example, any led lamp with those yellow strings are phosphor based. They are basically UV LEDs wrapped in phosphor, when the phosphor is hit by UV they glow a very warm yellow!

Pay attention to the colour temperature, you can find them from warm white to very yellow.

EDIT: you can easily find them by searching for "Edison led lamp" or "vintage led lamp"

u/Jumpin_Joeronimo · 2 pointsr/woodworking

Wood: Depends what kind you want. You can get really basic stuff from Home Depot. If you want nicer pieces I would look for mills or search craigslist for lumber around your area. You won't get a nice chunk of cherry like that picture at home depot. Maybe someone can add to that.

Cut the holes: I would use a Forstner Bit $10-$20 depending on size

For examples of stuff like this I would search instructables for Edison Lamp

Edison bulb on Amazon Looks like prices vary from $5-$25+

No they're not CFL, just standard bulbs. I'm pretty sure these are the bulbs if that helps any. http://www.amazon.com/Sylvania-15172-65-Watt-130-Volt-Indoor/dp/B000KKHU76

I have double pane windows. When I had a salesman come out and check my windows, they took a heat lamp and held it up on the inside while I was outside and see if you can feel any heat. If you can, then the windows need replacement. I only had a double French doors that we replaced with a sliding glass door.

If its this. That is an incandescent not cfl. Let me know because if thats it you need a new light

u/Pedogenic · 1 pointr/askscience

I'm glad you're confused about this stuff--it means your brain juice is flowing!

/u/CrustalTrudger provided a great response to a recent thread on the topic of volcanic emissions of CO2 versus anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The quick answer is that the sulfur dioxide aerosols released by volcanoes find themselves in the upper atmosphere, where they can efficiently block out incoming radiation. However, these tiny particles are cleaned out of the atmosphere by rain within a few years, which ends there short-lived effect on climate. It's called a volcanic winter to imply that the event is ephemeral. CO2 released by volcanoes can contribute to longer-term warming, but is overridden by the aerosols on the short term.

The case of greenhouse gases reflecting incident radiation is always a topic of conversation among my students, and a valid question before you learn the details. Energy from the Sun arrives at Earth primarily as ultraviolet radiation (UV light), which is high-energy for our purposes here. About 30% of that energy is reflected right back into space by the clouds and Earth's surface, about 20% is directly absorbed by the atmosphere, and the rest (50%) is absorbed by the Earth's surface, warming it up. But this is not the greenhouse effect!

Here's the neat trick: the Earth's surface then re-emits some of it's absorbed energy. Because some of the energy is used to warm the land and oceans, there is only going to be some fraction of the incoming energy left over to shoot back up towards space. The energy level of this re-emission places it in the infrared part of the EM spectrum, which is what we feel as heat (check out a heat lamp). Gases in the atmosphere can absorb and reflect this IR radiation more efficiently than UV radiation, so the net result is that the air above us warms up a bit more and the clouds zap some of those heat waves back toward the Earth's surface, where the heat is again absorbed. These atmospheric gases trap energy much the same way that panes of glass trap heat in a greenhouse. It's warmer in the greenhouse for the same reason that it's warmer on Earth than in outer space.

ELI5 version: High-intensity stuff flies toward Earth, some of which pings off the globe, some gets sucked up, and some gets soaked up and then leaks out again. The leaking energy can't make it back out of the atmosphere (the greenhouse), so it has to ping around until it's absorbed by the clouds or the globe.

tl;dr: Volcanoes shoot out SO2 aerosols, which only cool the climate for short durations. CO2 works on longer time scales. Not much UV energy from the sun is reflected by GHGs. The GHGs trap heat that is first absorbed by Earth and then re-emitted as IR.

This is the lightbulb I have been using. Gaudy as hell but it is hidden during the day under a classy mid-century modern lamp shade.

u/Chlorophile · 1 pointr/SavageGarden

First of all, it sounds like you'd want to avoid any species that require a winter dormancy. I would try the Cape sundew (Drosera capensis) first, because it is cheap, easy to find, and tolerates a very wide variety of conditions. Another that might do well is Sarracenia rosea (also known as S. purpurea ssp. venosa var. burkii). It's probably the only Sarracenia that is likely to do okay without a dormancy period, and it, like the other forms of S. purpurea, can tolerate lower light levels than most carnivorous plants. Another plant that could be worth trying is Cephalotus. A lot of people say it's difficult to grow, but in my experience, it's been extremely easy, so I don't know. I think it's important to have it in an especially large (or at least tall) pot, the larger (taller), the better, and to keep that standing in either only shallow water or none at all. It too can survive on less light than most carnivorous plants and can grow without a dormancy period. Its main drawback is its price. This is the cheapest I've ever seen them, but that's for a pretty small one. This is closer to the average price for them, and those are probably proportionately larger (though still small) and worth the extra money if you can afford it. None of these plants I've mentioned so far require especially high humidity, but if they show signs of wanting more than that of the room, you could put them into some kind of terrarium situation, but since it's also possible to keep it too humid, it's usually best to still allow some amount of ventilation. If you find that you can't provide enough natural or artificial light for any of those species, then the only ones left to try would be the three species of Drosera section Prolifera, Drosera adelae, Drosera prolifera, and Drosera schizandra. They are the only truly low light carnivorous plants and are more likely to like a fully enclosed terrarium than the others I mentioned. You can read more about them here, here, and here. You could try Nepenthes, but I can't really recommend them for your situation. Even the easiest species, while very easy to keep alive, are difficult to keep looking even remotely nice without a greenhouse because to maintain pitchers they require higher humidity than is found in a typical room to and they will get too big to keep in any reasonably sized terrarium. As far as artificial lighting goes, it depends on how much you need and how much you're willing to spend. Just remember that people not familiar with the subject vastly, and I mean vastly, overestimate a given light's plant growing capacity because of this and this. I personally use a few of these, and they are amazing. I use them with things like this and this. They may seem expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for. You might be able to get by with CFLs, but while they're something like 10 times cheaper, they'll also put out something like 10 times less light usable to the plants (and that's assuming you manage to concentrate their light as much as that of those spotlights) while using several times more electricity and lasting a fraction as long. Wow. I just realized how much I just typed. I hope you find at least some of that helpful! Also, don't forget to check out the links on the right of this subreddit if you haven't already. There's lots of good information to be found there as well as on countless other sites.

I used to work with a guy who told me that tubular incandescent lightbulbs are the most common lightbulbs stolen by morticians.
