[h=1]Plastic bulb development promises better quality light[/h]
By Matt McGrath Environment correspondent, BBC News

US researchers say they have developed a new type of lighting that could replace fluorescent bulbs.
The new source is made from layers of plastic and is said to be more efficient while producing a better quality of flicker-free light.
The scientists behind it say they believe the first units will be produced in 2013.
Details of the new development have been published in the journal Organic Electronics.

Brighter white The new light source is called field-induced polymer electroluminescent (Fipel) technology. It is made from three layers of light-emitting polymers, each containing a small volume of nanomaterials that glow when electric current is passed through them.
The inventor of the device is Dr David Carroll, professor of physics at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. He says the new plastic lighting source can be made into any shape, and it produces a better quality of light than compact fluorescent bulbs which have become very popular in recent years.
The new light source is said to be twice as efficient as fluorescent bulbs
"They have a bluish, harsh tint to them, " he told BBC News, "it is not really accommodating to the human eye; people complain of headaches and the reason is the spectral content of that light doesn't match the Sun - our device can match the solar spectrum perfectly.
"I'm saying we are brighter than one of these curlicue bulbs and I can give you any tint to that white light that you want."

There have been several attempts to develop new light-bulbs in recent years - Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) have come a long way since they were best known for being indicator lights in electronic devices. Over the past decade, they have become much more widely used as a light source as they are both bright and efficient. They are now often used on large buildings.
Light not heat Another step forward has been organic LEDs (OLEDs) which also promise greater efficiency and better light than older, incandescent bulbs. Their big advantage over LEDs is that they can be transformed into many different shapes including the screens for high-definition televisions.
But Prof Carroll believes OLED lights haven't lived up to the hype.
"They don't last very long and they're not very bright," he said. "There's a limit to how much brightness you can get out of them. If you run too much current through them they melt."
The Fipel bulb, he says, overcomes all these problems.
"What we've found is a way of creating light rather than heat. Our devices contain no mercury, they contain no caustic chemicals and they don't break as they are not made of glass."
Prof Carroll says his new bulb is cheap to make and he has a "corporate partner" interested in manufacturing the device. He believes the first production runs will take place in 2013.
He also has great faith in the ability of the new bulbs to last. He says he has one in his lab that has been working for about a decade.

- Lighting accounts for around 19% of global electricity use
- A worldwide switch to low-energy bulbs could save the output of around 600 power plants

JUst had an idea..................
If those new plastic lights are released and also give off no heat then surely you could incorporate it in to something like a SCROG screen and actually have lights between the buds at canopy level etc?

orite cool pal,, get me a price and .method to get you the coin for postage

I know exactly what you need, looked into it myself. Get hold of a good chippy and he'll sort you out unless you're any good with the tools. I was quoted 800 quid but didnt bother, ill build my own in the new gaff.

well the doors ther a pull open one not one with a door mechanism, and teh frame,, im about to strip the wall and take the petrduing door frame out, then i was thinking
A, fasten a book case to the door withhidden weels so it all open together,
B. decorate the wall with sum patern paper and thin ply 3/4 of teh way down (door removed) then play again with 2 screws to simply unscrew the bottom quater and crawl in, the crawl is benficial so i have no issue with that,
c, decrtate the wall again ply above the wardobe so its blends in and simply moove it wen i want in
OH district nurse are ba daily HAHAH FUK THEM !
ice-4 district nurses-0
FUKK UUUU!!! ahahaha wankers,
as for extraction coz i dont want a carbon filter in the attick, so im thinking
i have a hiole wer my ld dcuting went thru so im gunna put a fan cover on the top of the celing and fasten ducting to the bottm so it blwos up i was thinking havin the ducting from the filter to t he light then light to the vent wat ul never see in the atticjk coz its just a dust cover screwed into the plasterboard,
decided if im gunna do this ima do it properly,
also gunna mod my old big 250 hps box to a hood and ballast was thinking of running my 600 hps alongside a 250 mh
any good?
see sum good thoughts cummin
has the room got a window ?if its got a window they will know theres a room there and hiding the door wont do anything plus it will go against you in court, going out your way to deceive.
if it hasent got a window just plasterboard the door up and it will match up with the wall , and cut a whole in the room ceiling, store a ladder in the loft and just drop in and climb out of the room.

2" x 2" slats supporting a plasterboard false wall with your door cut out exactly where the wallpaper seam is, job done.

Sound they are, in the tent with the 1000w during the day and in the cupboard with a CFL on em at night.

How big is the room you are trying to hide and even if you did cover the door would it still be obvious from other rooms in the house that there is a room missing? i.e. if its a 3 bedroom house and you block off 1 bedroom then generally that is about 1/4 of the total floor space of the upstairs floor thats just missing and will be blatantly obvious when ppl are in the house
walk in closet mate between 2 rooms,, only 1 entrance tho, its behind the boiler u really wouldnt even know its ther, im literally just trying to hide to door and frame, ive just stripped the wall so i was thinking pull of the door frame that sticks out,, after that im stumped.
ask yorkie,, u wouldnt even know the room was ther, damn the cops even missed it wen they busted me,, FANS RUNING TOO!! back then the door w\sent even hidden so i gues i got lucky, i dont really wanna show a pic lol
and its upstairs outa the way,, so none of that buinsess with folks cumming round
the room is 9ft long 3.5 wide and then celing height, im about to mount a plug socket in ther too so i can get rid of the lead going thru the wall

How about leave the cupboard where it is and have a partition? 3"x3.5 where the door opens, false wall at the back which opens to the remaining 6x3.5 area?
