Battery Lights

Battery Operated Lights.

Battery operated lights have come a long way. Many people believe batteries are a fairly new invention. Did you know the first battery was invented in 1800? Or that the first flashlight was made in 1898? Now, those batteries were not the kind you and I think of today. They were actually quite unstable and not very reliable. Lets take a look at how battery lights came to be.

History of Lights.

Light has been used by man for a long time. Light gives our plants energy, which in turn feeds us. We also get vitamin D from light. Before modern scientific times, light was something that was thought just to be seen by our eyes. By the 1500's and 1600's though, telescopes, microscopes and new lenses were being invented. We could then see things on a smaller scope. Isaac Newton discovered the color spectrum in 1666. Soon the electric light bulb was invented by Thomas Edison. Light is useful in many aspects of our life. It helps us to see at night, directs traffic, helps us see while we read and gives us light for photography. It's also useful in areas of health such as giving our food vitamin A, helping plants to grow and fights disease. We use light for everything now a days.

History of Batteries.

Batteries came on the scene around 1800. Batteries were invented by an Italian, Volta. They were rather unstable because they were wet cell batteries. For that reason, wet cell batteries were used to power stationary devices. In 1859, the first rechargeable battery was invented by Gaston Plante. Finally a dry cell battery was invented in 1887 by Carl Gassner that was much safer to use and portable. It changed the liquid material into a paste to make it more stable. In 1955, alkaline batteries were introduced to the public. Up until then, batteries had a short life and were very expensive.

Battery Lights, Together.

Batteries and lights came together. The first battery operated lights were flashlights. Today though, we have battery operated lights. Many Christmas tree lights are battery powered. It allows for mobility of your tree. Also, many people use battery lights for weddings. Battery operated lights are popular for outdoor weddings where electrical outlets are unavailable. You can also string the battery lights through the bouquets to make them shine at an evening ceremony. Actually, battery lights are popular for almost any occasion. The flexibility of battery operated lights allows them to be used almost anywhere.

LED Lights.

LED lights are becoming very popular. LED stands for light emitting diode. They use very little energy and put out much less heat. This attracts many people trying to save on their electric bill, especially with rising energy costs. LED lights are more expensive, right now, but the total cost of ownership is far less then the average incandescent light. LED lights produce more light than the average bulb, per watt. LED lights are the way of the future.

can you read my poem please? I also need your opinion?

Alone she stands looking at the world
through a microscope.
Examining its coldness wondering...
thinking...contemplating
if the ice will melt off the surface.
Searching for a purpose
she was always told she was worthless.
Never needed for a thing
she was sort of handicapped like an angel
with a broken wing.
Or so it seemed.
She grew confidence in herself
and followed her dream.
proving to the people who were cruel
an mean that they were wrong.
On her own a black girl who grew up in
the hood.
Started to grow stronger then she ever
thought she could or would.
Alone she stands looking at the world
through a microscope.
Examining its coldness wondering...
thinking...contemplating if the
ice will melt off the surface.
Never knowing that she was the
light to melt the ice into a pool
of streams...
Until now.

Awesome.... You came from a bad world and turned your life around. You sound like a very strong person that knows what she wants. Most people don't have the drive you have. Keep on going. I dont know you but your awesome.
