What's the best position for TV lighting?

Robert W

I've purchased a 52" LCD TV and I'm remodeling the room in which it will be installed. What's the best position and type for lighting to have on while viewing the TV?

Answer
In a viewing environment with a single direct-view display I recommend dividing the room lighting into a minimum of two independently dimmable lighting zones. One of the dimmable zones should be dedicated to the specific task of illuminating the wall behind your display. This form of lighting is referred to by some as âbias lighting.â

Though wall sconces are popular with many custom home theater owners and designers I recommend avoiding them if theyâre not designed solely for indirect illumination. Ideally all illumination in an optimal viewing environment or home theater should be indirect and diffuse, especially the lighting used to illuminate the wall behind your TV screen. The bias lighting, which is very low level illuminance, is the only lighting that should be on during television viewing - all remaining lighting should be off.

Where should light source be placed/located in the living room relative to the TV?

I am a very strong advocate of dimmable RGB LED lighting systems that are capable of full additive color mixing. This new solid-state lighting technology will allow you to easily produce white light with an optimum correlated color temperature (CCT) of approximately 6500 Kelvin while also providing a high color rendering index (CRI) of approximately 94 or higher. Solid-state lighting also offers other important advantages over other forms of lighting, i.e., it generates no UV radiation, produces a negligible amount of heat, and uses a minimum of electrical power. No other lighting solution currently offers this highly advantageous combination.

Another worthwhile lighting technology is light pipes or optical fiber systems. For more information Iâve posted additional resources below.

If neither of these lighting technologies is readily available or of little interest to you then your only other remaining option is to install specialty 6500 K (âD65,â) high CRI, dimmable fluorescent lighting. Keep in mind that the colorimetric requirements for any room lighting that should be off during television viewing will not be as critical as is the case for lighting used to illuminate the wall behind your TV.

0.7 Seconds to Conspiracy?

scgator200

A new book shows that Governor Connally was shot in the back a split second after President Kennedy was killed.

The YOUBE video shows Connally was bent over "by the force of the bullet" a split second after JFK was shot in the head. There is other evidence in the book that shows that this is true.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhqq1UzONIE

The question is: WHY do people have such difficulty in believing that there is proof that a conspiracy killed JFK?

This question is important now because 2013 is the 50th anniversary of the brutal murder of President Kennedy, The media is planning on showing many "documentaries" that are simply wrong. A conspiracy killed JFK.

Answer
WHY do people have such difficulty in believing that there is proof that a conspiracy killed JFK? People tend to believe what is put in front of them because they are conditioned to do this by schools: to memorize facts to pass the test, not to evaluate or think with data. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=george+carlin+our+owners&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDYQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DhYIC0eZYEtI&ei=l-fPUJ61AYrhiwLa0oDgDg&usg=AFQjCNFCLR1vPBgLCnwtao94jqpaJ3qcqQ&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.cGE

The media is a whole other issue. Did you know that most of the media is corporately owned by the same individuals that own big/international banking (including the privately-owned Federal Reserve, which is as Federal as Federal Express,) Big Pharma & military industry. Wow! Can you say conflict of interests?

To put it simply, America is corporately controlled by international banking interests. You will have to watch the Zeitgeist series to understand why this is. This is Woodrow Wilson's "invisible government...set up above the forms of democracy." This is why Einstien came to realize: "I came to America because of the great, great freedom which I heard existed in this country. I made a mistake in selecting America as a land of freedom, a mistake I cannot repair in the balance of my life." JFK implored the corporately controlled media to inform the US citizen, as long as doing so did not compromise the US during wartime. JFK warned of "a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy." http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=monolithic+and+ruthless+conspiracy&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&ved=0CFIQtwIwBQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DRhkjYJAHCjM&ei=FezPUO-ENsThiwK48IGgAg&usg=AFQjCNGgbN5Gra-bVIDhaRkiw4zjo5cAwQ&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.cGE

"The high office of President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American's freedom and before I leave office I must inform the Citizen of his plight."
~ President John F. Kennedy -Assassinated 10 days later!

There is a reason that you can't trust a number of things the American media tells you and what you see on TV and it all boils down to money, power, control. This is the same reason why Big Pharma/Psychiarty are typically not bad-mouthed by corporate media, even though Big Pharma/Psychiarty are responsible for the large-scale school shootings like columbine. The JFK assassination, all tragedies that led to US military action (including 9/11 & Pearl Harbor) and economic depressions are all orchestrated by the people who really control America: the international banking interests that our Founding Fathers sought to be free of.

The international banking cartel's formula is this: 1) allow/create an event that makes a problem that demands solution and make that problem broadly known to the public (Pearl Harbor, 9/11 the Great Depression) 2) swoop in with a solution that takes advantage of the situation and makes the government borrow money from private banking institutions and put the government on a payment plan (go to war/sell wartime goods, make money off of that/make loans to the government to afford wartime goods, make money off of that; alternatively establish the Federal Reserve so the US government can use it irresponsibly like a credit card and go into debt that it can't recover from.) JFK was taken out because he was causing problems for the business interests of the bankers one way or another, whether it was because he was going to announce what was going on to the American public, he was going to make a move against the Federal Reserve or he was going to end US support in Vietnam, all of which were bad business for the international banking cartel. It honestly didn't matter what grouping of people pulled the triggers that murdered JFK--the international banking cartel was the only group with the money motivation to assassinate JFK and the power/influence, over American government organizations like the FBI, to cover it up.
