Wall-mount LED

I just love the Trilux wall-mounted luminaries which featured Luxeon K2 9W, 18W, 36W and 50@ LEDs that mechanically bonded to an aluminum heat sink. The LEDs provide 5, 500 K lumen output in neutral white, warm white, red and blue color. It is available in five diameters from 2 1/2 in. to 5 in. and 10 fixture sizes from 3 in. to 9 1/2 in., the product also features an LED driver that accepts input voltages from 100 VAC to 277 VAC.

I have four wall-mount LED which is clearly be seen at the outside of my home. I love the idea that it guards the safety of my house every night.

Converting analogue video

A significant advantage of transferring VHS recordings to DVD is that you can enhance the footage, add chapters (which makes navigating your home movies easier) and use menus to give your home videos a Hollywood feel, Computer Shopper magazine (113) said.

Unfortunately, unless you have a digital video camera with an analogue input, there's no way of copying VHS videos to your PC without some expense. This is because you need some way to connect a video player to a PC, and PCs rarely come with suitable hardware. The good news though, is that video-capture devices are cheap.

Fortunately, the easiest way to record analogue content and store it in a digital format is to use a combined DVD and VHS recorder. With one of these devices you can play the video, insert a blank disc into the DVD slot and record the content in real time. You'll also have to rip your DVDs "if you want to get the files back on to your hard disk.

Moreover, if you want to transfer your ovies to your PC, you could buy a USB VHS player. Plug the VHS layer into your PC's USB port and install the EZ VHS Converter software that comes with it. When you run the program, select VCR 2 PC and a small box appears on the screen. This displays the video footage on the tape. Type in a file name and then specify how long you want to record for. Press Record and the footage will play in the box onscreen.

The ION VCR@PC provides tracking controls, which you can adjust to get the best video quality. By default, the resulting MPEG files are stored in your My Videos folder. The EZ VHS Converter software has limited editing abilities, but you can use it to cut out unwanted parts of the video.

CS-8000 Circuit Seeker

Last week, I called for a help of an expert electrician here closed in Katy, Texas to check our electric wires and electric box because I felt that there is a serious problem with our electricity. It can't perform well with our high voltage units and appliances.

I was looking at the electric expert as he do fix the problem. He has use a gadget that has a small screen in it. It is called CS-8000 Circuit Seekers as he said. No wonder he easily detects the main problem and that was the concealed wiring and a little break of an open, live circuit. He said that if I didn't directly ask for help, chances are the wire will cause fire.

Indeed, I feel at ease now that our electricity gives its safe function. But thanks to the electricity expert and his CS-8000 Circuit Seeker for a job, excellently work done.
