NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Most people don't realize carpets and floors harbor more germs than virtually all the other surfaces in their home combined. That's why Oreck[R] is introducing the Oreck Halo, the world's only upright vacuum that uses ultraviolet light to clean and kill germs, bacteria, viruses, allergens and mold.
-->Additional Lenses for Close Up ShotsAbout Cooper LightingAbout OreckAbout Cooper IndustriesThe distance from a subject is another critical aspect in getting a good picture. You want to see facial expression, not a mass of faces when you take a photograph. To do this, you have to be at a suitable close distance from your subject. On the other hand, when you click pictures of a campus, the distance that you click from can give you a wide view and take in a lot more of the scene. To take close up pictures of flowers or crystal or any decorative item, you have to move into close range and use suitable lenses to achieve the right magnification.--Use the flash"We wanted to share our invention with families everywhere, so we took it to David Oreck because of his longstanding commitment to quality products," Ken Garcia said.--Objects impinging on the pictureKen, who worked in a water-treatment plant, believed there was a better solution. After considerable research and engineering, he was able to incorporate the same UV-C technology he used everyday to safeguard the drinking supply into the bottom of a vacuum.With the Oreck Halo, it's possible to vacuum and kill germs with no extra effort, no extra time and no extra cost. This translates to a better, safer and healthier clean - all without damaging or fading carpet, tile or hardwood when used properly.Light from behind your subject: This strategy is sometimes used by photographers to amplify the impact of the picture. It can create a halo like effect; it can add artistic shadows and can also create a striking contrast between the subject and the background if used effectively. When you use a �back light� it is recommended that the fill-flash settings on your camera are also adjusted in order to avoid shadows in your photograph.--Bright sunlight can create shadows under the eyes.PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. -- Cooper Lighting, a division of Cooper Industries, Ltd. (NYSE:CBE), announces that its Halo[R] LED recessed downlight is the first in the industry to meet stringent ENERGY STAR[R] requirements for solid state lighting (SSL) luminaires. The Halo LED Downlight's performance earns an ENERGY STAR qualification by meeting the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Solid State Lighting Luminaires: Eligibility Criteria - Version 1.0 for Category A - Recessed Downlights. ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping consumers and organizations save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices.Genesis of the Oreck HaloThe Oreck Halo is available for $599.95 on Oreck's Web site (www.oreck.com), in 450 Oreck Clean Home Centers nationwide or by calling Oreck directly at 888.600.HALO (888.600.4256).The angle of light is another important consideration. You have to pay attention to the direction from which light falls on your subject and there are several approaches in manipulating the angle of light to improve the visual appeal of a picture.Light from the top: This is a method used to brighten up most of the scene but does not work as well when you take a photograph of a person. It tends to create shadows on the lower half of the face when the lighting is high.How It WorksMost simple cameras have an automatic flash. Slightly better models will have settings for fill-flash. The concept of fill flash revolves around filling light in areas of a picture that may turn out dark or shadowed. Fill-flash has the ability to balance the amount of light on different parts of a subject to ensure that the exposure is adequately bright. For instance, a portion of a person�s face may appear shadowed and the fill-flash setting can help iron out this problem.Providing excellent color quality with a rendering of over 80 CRI and a warm white color temperature range of 3045K, the Halo LED recessed fixture consumes less than 15 watts and provides over 697 lumens (with the specular reflector trim). The high efficiency of the Halo LED downlight delivers greater than 40 lumens per watt--comparable light distribution and better light output than a 65 watt BR30 lamp or 18 watt compact fluorescent fixture. (The minimum requirement is 35 lumens per watt with a minimum of 575 lumens.) The Halo LED fixture delivers over 90% of the lumens within the 0-60 degree downlight "cone of light" zone, well over the minimum requirement of 75%. Its superior optical design provides good cutoff (50 degrees) and low glare.Survey Reveals Little Awareness of Home HygieneA January 2009 Kelton Research survey of 1,000 American adults revealed that 6 in 10 have submitted to the "three-second rule" and eaten food that has fallen on the floor.According to independent tests by Dr. Charles Gerba, a microbiology professor at the University of Arizona, carpets, tile and hardwood floors can have up to 4,000 times more germs and bacteria per square inch - even after vacuuming - than the toilet seat.
