One of the most unique light paintings I’ve seen, this image has a fluidity that causes the brain to confuse light for matter. It is neato. What makes it neato? Well, I think it’s mostly neato because the way the lines are painted makes the light seem like it has taken form and is alive.

3. Sphere of the Open Water

I do not understand how some light painters are able to create such perfect perforated light beams. But I like it. Light painting is able to create such perplexing images. How is one to feel about the image of a lonely self-circling disc of multi colored light? It’s a little sad. But also a lot of fun. That’s weird. And maybe that’s the particular weirdness of light paintings.

5. Or, Then Again, Maybe This Is the Particular Weirdness of Light Paintings

At least, that’s what my two-year-old would call this photo. What a great idea to take a long exposure of a car and to keep it underexposed, knowing that the brightness of the light “paintbrush” would balance out the composition. I chose this example because it emblematizes the way light painting adds imagination to reality.

7. The Whole Light Paint Bucket

First of all, if you don’t get the title’s reference, then don’t worry about it. It’s a video game thing. Second of all, if you have any kind of interest in photography but spend a lot of time working indoors, you’ve probably tried taking pictures of inanimate things around your office. (OK, so I’m talking about myself.) Chances are, you haven’t had much luck. The pics were probably more fun to take than to examine, and they have probably been long since lost in the black matter of erased data. In other words, the photos weren’t good. But this one happens to be really awesome. It’s fun and very cool looking. Hadukin! Hadukin to bad office still lifes! Hadukin to darkness! Ha. Du. Kin.

We are always looking for ways to make our house more desirable while making it more efficient at the same time. We are constantly doing little improvements here and there to make our homes just a little more comfortable or a little more appealing. When improvements can help save you money on your monthly electric bill, that is always a nice little bonus. If you have never heard of them before, you will want to talk with your Glendale electrician about attic fans. You can always count on The Electric Connection to provide you with the information you need about any electrical upgrade.

An attic fan is one way to help you keep your house cool this summer without costing you a lot of money to run. Attic fans will help reduce the work your air conditioner will have to do to keep your house at a cool, comfortable temperature, thus saving you money. An attic fans reduces energy costs by pulling the hot air out of the attic and pushing it outside. Hot air rises and becomes trapped in the attic. The upper floor in your home will always be warmer because it is basically sandwiched between the hot air that has risen from the first floor and the hot air that is trapped in the attic.

By using a fan to pull out the hot air while pulling in the fresh air from the outside, you can help eliminate the hot air sandwich. The fan will need to be installed by an electrician. Glendale homeowners will be amazed at the difference in not only the comfort of their home during the summer, but by the reduction in the electric bill as well. If you are ready to make an upgrade that will make you feel better and put more money in your pocket, give The Electric Connection a call today.

When you are shopping at the home improvement store, many of the projects look so easy. It seems fairly simple to change out that tired old light fixture in your bedroom with a more modern one that matches your particular style. The box comes with everything you need, so how hard could it be? It can actually be very hard and extremely dangerous for the novice who has no idea how to connect wires safely. It is always best to be safe and hire an electrician in Burbank, like those at The Electric Connection, to complete any project that involves electricity.

Although those new light fixtures appear complete, there are still some serious safety precautions that need to be taken to ensure you don’t get electrocuted. There is also the concern of wiring the fixture incorrectly, which could be a serious safety hazard explains a Burbank electrician. When you hire a professional to take care of the installation, you get the peace of mind knowing it is going to be done right and it is going to look great once its complete. Light fixtures can be heavy and if you do not get them positioned just right, you risk them falling down or becoming loose.

Upgrading your light fixtures is something many homeowners do for aesthetic reasons, but there is also some cost savings involved in many cases. New fixtures are often designed to accommodate CFL bulbs or the much more energy efficient LEDs. You will save money on your electric bill by updating your light fixtures with the help of an electrician. Burbank homeowners that have found the perfect light fixture and want it installed can call The Electric Connection. Never risk your safety or the safety of your home by taking on an electrical job is you don’t have the knowledge or experience.

If you own a computer, then keeping it protected is one of your foremost concerns. There are a number of ways that you can achieve this, though electric can be rather vindictive when it puts its mind to it. As with anything, safety should be a priority, and a surge protector is a good first step to take in keeping your computer intact. The question you need to ask however, is what type of surge protection you would like to have for your computer. A UPS, or Uninterruptible Power Supply would be a great choice, and it has a number of benefits:

As the world becomes more and more reliant on computers, it becomes necessary to ensure our electronic lives are not tabled due to an outage. A UPS is not going to last forever, no doubt about that, but it will serve to get you through the worst of times. One of the most popular brands out there is APC, and you can find several others on the market to meet your growing needs.
