    How much is the PlayStation 5 on Amazon Prime Day? – Manchester Evening News - July 8, 2022 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The PlayStation 5 has been Sony's most popular console to date and now it's starting to become more-widely available to buy. It has taken two years for the console to get on track with demand.

    Since it first launched in the UK back in November 2020 gamers have gone to desperate lengths to try and get their hands on one. Issues over gaming chips being made and stock issues made demand soar and because of a limited supply only selected retailers were selling them at one time.

    Over the past few months though various gaming retailers have seen stock return to more of a sustainable level and many have been able to offer both versions of the PlayStation 5 console to a wider market. That being said stock levels haven't quite returned to normal.

    Questions are being asked as to whether the PlayStation 5 will appear in the Amazon Prime Day sale and one expert has answered. The online retail giant recently made a PlayStation 5 bundle available on its site. This PS5 Console with the Horizon Forbidden game was available to buy earlier this week, but is now out of stock again.

    Amazon Prime Day takes place on Tuesday July 12 and July 13. The 48-hour event is one of Amazon's biggest sale events, aside from Black Friday which takes place later in the year, and offers shoppers thousands of discounts on everything from tech, gaming, clothing, Amazon devices and more.

    Shoppers who are part of Amazon Prime can get access to exclusive deals ahead of Prime Day and on the sales day itself. Not a member of Amazon Prime? You can sign up to a free 30-day trial here.

    However, because of previous demand of the PlayStation 5 it is not clear whether the console will even be available to buy on Amazon, yet alone be featured in the Prime Day sale.

    Talha Sonmez who runs the popular PS5 Stock UK account on Twitter and the Stockchecker website, doesn't think the console will be making the cut for Amazon Prime.

    READ MORE: Expert behind popular PlayStation 5 stock account revealed as he hints at where to find console in 2022

    He said: "I personally do not think Amazon would offer the console on a deal for Prime Day, not a chance. I don't even think they'll do it for the Xbox Series X, although that's a higher chance than seeing the PS5 on sale.

    "The console may be in decent supply now however, the phase of supply lasting long hasn't been around for too long yet, therefore the console (in my opinion) wouldn't be on discount this soon."

    If you thin Talha may be wrong though then you can keep an eye on the PlayStation 5 landing pages on Amazon here and here. The PlayStation 5 comes in two forms, the PS5 console: 449.99 and the PS5 Digital Edition console: 359.99. The only difference between the PS5 console and the PS5 Digital Edition console is the inclusion of an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive in the PS5 console. The PS5 Digital Edition console does not feature a disc drive.

    MPOWERD Luci Lights, Turning Ten, Product Expansion, and Impacting the World – PR Newswire - July 8, 2022 by Mr HomeBuilder

    A reflection on where they've been and the bright future ahead.

    NEW YORK, July 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrating its 10th year in business, MPOWERD announced that it is launching an array of exciting new products, and introducing a brand-new product line; ViriSolar Energy Storage Tiles. Founded in 2012, MPOWERD is a Benefit Corporation and Certified B Corporation and has been creating solar lighting options with innovation and impact at its core. With the announcement of the new Viri line, MPOWERD is continuing its tradition of providing sustainable product options to people all around the world.

    Over the past decade, MPOWERD has grown from its wildly successful original inflatable solar light to over 16 unique products that serve people worldwide for various needs. From Solar String Lights to Solar Bike Lights, all fully patented, Luci lights are sold in over 7,500 retailers, including REI, Amazon, Anaconda, Decathlon, MEC, to name a few.

    Viri, which is derived from the Latin words "power" and "green," is a natural evolution and extension of Luci, which is derived from Luc or "light." Complementing Luci's transformative design, expansion and modularity are at the heart of the Viri platform. Viri provides solutions for all price points and needs while amplifying MPOWERD's mission of providing portable clean energy and expanding opportunities. Viri truly puts the "power" in MPOWERD.

    The innovative modular Solar Power Bank will be the first Viri product to hit the market. With the ability to combine multiple power banks to accumulate power or increase the solar panel size, these chargers can live independently or as a collective microgrid. With this adaptive modularity, they can conform to one's personal power needs from mobile phones to larger electronic devices. Following the Company's mission-oriented approach, Viri will provide people the freedom to create energy independently, customized to an individual's needs.

    Since its founding, impact and sustainability have always been central to the Company's mission. MPOWERD Founder, Inventor, and Chief Business Development Officer John Salzingercreated a business model with a novel tiered structure, where saleshere at home offset the costs to emerging markets and disaster relief. He also created the Give Luci Program that enables consumers and corporations to participate in the MPOWERD movement of delivering light and power to those in disaster or humanitarian crises. Therefore, expanding into solar power storage is a natural and necessary product path for the Company.

    "MPOWERD has grown up!" says Salzinger. "The business model I constructed has proven to be a true vehicle for change. That said, it takes a village and I am grateful to all those who have contributed during this incredible voyage, including Seungah Jeong, who has been a great partner in the business. We have collectively shown how one can and should make a positive impact on our world while leading a business with purpose."

    Seungah Jeongjoined MPOWERD in 2016 as the President and CEO. Since then, the Company has expanded its product assortment, established itself as a significant brand in the outdoor industry, increased sales across the board, and furthered positive impact initiatives worldwide.

    MPOWERD's impact work is illustrated by the 3.9 million lives they have affected in emerging markets and emergency response situations. By working with NGOs and non-profit organizations, MPOWERD distributes Luci Lights into the hands of people who need them most. A recent example of this was utilizing contributions to their Give Luci Programto deliver Luci Lights to Ukrainian refugees. In addition to social impact, the Company's commitment to reducing emissions and the global carbon footprint are reinforced by the 3.2 million tons of CO2 that Luci lights have averted in emerging markets.

    "Air pollution, deforestation, and ever-increasing natural disasters - our earth faces many challenges right now," Jeong affirmed. "From reducing CO2 emissions to minimizing single-use products, we aim to make the biggest impact we can in the hope of inspiring others to take action too."

    MPOWERD was recently selected as a Finalist in the Outdoor Retailer 2022 Inspiration Awards for its contributions to social and environmental change and as a part of Real Leaders Top 50 2022 Eco Innovation Award list, among many other honors and awards over the past ten years for product innovation and impact initiatives.

    The Worldwide LED Lighting Industry is Projected to Reach $124.7 Billion by 2027 – Benzinga – Benzinga - July 8, 2022 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Dublin, July 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "LED Lighting Market by Installation (New, Retrofit), Product Type (A-type, T-type, Decorative, Directional), Sales Channel (Retail, Direct, E-commerce), Application (Residential, Commercial, Industrial) and Geography - Global Forecast to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

    The LED lighting market size is estimated to be USD 75.3 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 124.7 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 10.6% during the forecast period.

    The booming lighting industry contributes most to the rising demand for energy-efficient products and modifications in the existing lighting products using LED technology. Moreover, technological innovations and rising environmental concerns have further accelerated the growth of LED lighting market. Competitive manufacturing costs, high economic growth rate, and large-scale industrial constructions in residential and commercial segments are some of the other major factors driving the growth of the LED lighting market.

    Decorative luminaire to register highest growth between 2022 to 2027

    Decorative luminaires are expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The easy availability of decorative lights with a variety of color combinations in attractive shapes and sizes for interior decoration, coupled with the growing use of highly energy-efficient products to reduce energy bills, is the major factor propelling the growth of the market. Bullet, candle, flare, globe, and any other decorative lamp shapes, integrated chandeliers, single-head pendants, wall sconces, lanterns, and cove luminaire products fall under the category of decorative lighting. Commercial and hospitality applications contribute most to the increasing demand for decorative lighting.

    Lamps segment to account for a larger share of the LED lighting market in 2022

    A-type and T-type lamps have high penetration in residential applications, which, in turn, leads to a larger market size of the overall lamps category compared to luminaires. The enormous rise in the use of LED lighting solutions has changed every aspect of modern life.

    The modern technology equipped with LED lamps enables improved efficiency with low maintenance costs. The warm light from the LED lamps allows for complete brightness without energy loss. Compared to the lifespan of average incandescent bulbs, the lifespan of an LED light is far superior. A-type LED lamps are also referred to as plug-and-play. These lamps directly replace traditional lamps such as compact fluorescent (CFL) and linear fluorescent. A-type lamps are considered the classic type of light bulb that has been used for general-purpose lighting for over 100 years.

    The streets and roads application segment likely to dominate the outdoor LED lighting market from 2022 to 2027

    According to market estimates, The streets and roads segment is expected to account for the largest market share throughout the forecast period due to rapid urbanization and government efforts to reduce energy consumption with the adoption of LED lighting solutions. Streets and roadways are continuously illuminated; hence, there is a high requirement for energy. Therefore, switching to LED lighting is a better choice. Streets and roadways are expected to provide lucrative opportunities to LED lighting market players.

    Asia Pacific followed by Middle East, and Africa region likely to witness higher growth rate from 2022 to 2027

    The LED lighting market has enormous potential in the Asia Pacific region, and it is anticipated that consumers would accept these systems as an integral part of digitalized households. Increasing construction activities in Asia Pacific contribute significantly to the growth of the LED lighting market in the region.

    The thriving electrical and electronics industry in Asia Pacific also supports the growth of the LED lighting market. In the last few years, LED lighting has become the dominant artificial light source and is preferred over all the conventional light sources such as incandescent bulbs, CFL and fluorescent lamps, high-pressure sodium lamps, and metal halide lamps in the region. The LED lighting market in RoW is growing slowly compared to other regions; however, emerging economies such as South Africa and the GCC countries in the Middle East are expected to contribute to the market growth in the coming years.

    How to create an outdoor entertainment space to enjoy year round – The Canberra Times - July 8, 2022 by Mr HomeBuilder

    How to create an outdoor entertainment space to enjoy year round

    There's nothing quite like a good backyard barbecue to send off a good year. Getting the whole family together for a good backyard grill-up is really what the summer holidays are all about.

    If it's your first time playing the host, however, it can be tricky knowing just what you'll need to make sure your summer barbecue goes off with a bang. Sourcing a selection of fancy snags and sauces is really just the tip of the iceberg here.

    Here are a few other things worth keeping in mind when planning your first backyard summer barbecue.

    Keeping your grill well-stocked and well-organised

    Whether you're having a small get-together with a few intimate friends, or a larger welcome event filled with housewarming gifts and great music, having good food is a must.

    So, no matter how big or small your party is going to be, your grill station should always be kept well-organised to ensure that no food items go overcooked and burnt and that there will be plenty of active cooking space available to cater to larger groups of people.

    To impress your friends by grilling like a pro, make certain that you're cooking with 4 burner gas bbqs, this will ensure that you're serving up the juiciest meat, and thanks to more cooking space, you'll be doing it in record time.

    Cooked foods are best kept warm by the grill rack, out of the way of uncooked meats to minimise risks of contamination.

    Be sure to also keep an eye on the number of foods on your grill rack too! If you put too many extra patties and snags on the grill before any pre-cooked ones have had a chance to be eaten, you'll find yourself with an influx of food that may end in some food waste.

    It's all about maintaining a good balance between cooking and cooked food, as well as keeping track of how many more of your guests may want extra servings.

    Establish a dedicated drinks station

    Having a dedicated drinks area should be considered a top priority, especially in the height of summer.

    You'll want to ensure you have a good selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as plenty of ice to keep your drinks nice and cool under the hot sun.

    Seating is also just as important for keeping your guests comfortable, so it's well worth investing in a few bar stools for your outdoor bar set-up.

    Having an array of seating options will also naturally keep your outdoor entertainment space feeling nice and varied, ensuring that your guests feel comfortable interacting with one another in a selection of different spaces.

    Vegetarian options and toppings galore

    Of course, organising your grill can become more complicated when catering to groups with food allergies.

    What you may find surprising, however, is that taking the extra time to ensure that you have meal options for gluten-free or low-FODMAP individuals, as well as vegans or vegetarians will likely elevate the overall quality of your summer barbecue. How does this work?

    A widespread of foods means that everybody has more options to choose from, ensuring that your barbecue transforms into a culinary experience in its own right.

    If you're concerned about contamination between veggie patties and cooking meats, you may opt to smoke your meat in a smoker instead, or even decide to invest in a secondary grill top specifically for vegetarian and vegan options.

    This same grill top could also easily be used for grilling up some onions, pineapple, and beetroot that meat-eaters can use in their meal too!

    Pasta salads can also be a great option for vegetarians and low-FODMAP individuals, but can also provide guests without dietary restrictions with a wealth of other foods to choose from.

    If there are any foods that are specifically for those with dietary restrictions, they can easily be accompanied by little notes, or they can be placed on their own table too.

    There is a selection of ways that you can keep your barbecue inclusive! It's all about finding the methods that work for you and your outdoor barbecue space.

    Outdoor lighting and insect control for evening grills

    Summer evenings are best spent outdoors, enjoying the gentle breeze of the season, and listening to the chirping of crickets in the distance.

    There are, of course, some caveats that come with alfresco summertime dining, namely the presence of mosquitos, flies, and other insects that may be less welcome than the crickets in the distance.

    These backyard nuisances are best dealt with by investing in some mosquito coils and solar-powered bug zappers.

    Pest control lights are infinitely preferable to bug sprays, especially around foods, making bug zappers an essential element of your overall outdoor dining space.

    Alongside bug zappers, some ambient tea lights and gentle fairy lights may also prove to be valuable assets to your barbecue area and will inspire your guests to stick around and stay celebrating well into the evening.

    Having some ambient lights will naturally also help you and your guests capture your evening on camera too. Gold fairy lights provide flattering lighting for taking candid snapshots.

    Complete the day with a little backyard cricket

    Last but not least, it wouldn't be an Aussie summer barbecue without a game of backyard cricket. Having a few stumps on one end of the yard is really all you need to get the games going.

    Even families without yards can still use their driveways to do a little wicket hitting. Just be sure that young children are kept supervised and understand the importance of road safety when collecting stray cricket balls.

    Aussie backyard barbecues are a staple of all our summer holidays, past, present, and future. Even if our spreads have somewhat changed from being explorations into the world of pork and beef to including prawns, pineapple, pea protein patties, and corn on the cob, these outdoor shindigs are still undoubtedly an opportunity for families to come together and celebrate good food, good company, and great weather.

    Philips Hue to Introduce Updated Dimmer Switch and ‘Wave Linear’ Outdoor Lighting – MacRumors - December 23, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Philips Hue is set to release an updated dimmer switch and a brand new "Wave Linear" outdoor lighting system in early 2021, according to hueblog.com and smartlights.de.

    The popular Philips Hue dimmer switch, which has been around for some years and is often included in Philips Hue kits, is to see an update that brings a refreshed design. Instead of having four buttons like the current model, the new version is set to have only three buttons, with the middle two dimmer buttons being combined into a single rocker button. The "on" button is also gaining a small tactile marking so that users can find the correct button in the dark.

    The general design has been updated to be more curvaceous and subtle, with matte white plastic being used instead of the current glossy white plastic. The base plate is also due to increase in size to 80mm by 125mm, in order to completely cover EU in-wall outlets. The current dimmer switch base plate is too narrow for this.

    Moreover, Philips Hue will reportedly introduce a new "Wave Linear" outdoors lighting system. Wave Linear will integrate with existing Hue low-voltage outdoors products such as the Hue Lily, Hue Calla, or Hue Outdoor Lightstrip.

    Designed to illuminate large outdoor spaces evenly with color, such as an exterior house wall, it will be able to produce up to 1,400 lumens of brightness and 16 million colors. The Philips Hue Wave Linear system will supposedly become available in Spring 2021.

    Philips Hue expected to introduce redesigned Smart Dimmer, new outdoor lighting in 2021 – 9to5Mac - December 23, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    A pair of new Philips Hue products have leaked today, providing a glimpse at what the smart home company has in store for early 2021. As reported by Hueblog, Philips Hue will release a new Wave Linear outdoor lighting accessory in spring of 2021, as well as redesigned Smart Dimmer.

    The report explains that the Philips Hue Wave Linear will join the existing outdoor lighting category as a way to light up large areas evenly. It will reportedly measure in at around 31 inches wide, 2 inches tall, and around 3 inches deep.

    The Philips Hue Wave Linear is wonderfully suitable to illuminate large areas evenly with one color, for example a house wall. With 20 watts of power, it can produce up to 1,400 lumens of brightness. It is a White and Color Ambiance product, so it can display bright white tones and up to 16 million colors.

    Heres a look at the reported Wave Linear:

    Secondly, Philips Hue is expected to announce new Smart Dimmer switch with a new and simplified design. The biggest change here will be that the the new model will feature three buttons, compared to the four buttons on the current-generation Smart Dimmer.

    This will be accomplished by merging the two middle dimming buttons into a single rocker button. The new Smart Dimmer will also feature a tactical on button so that its easier for users to feel for it in the dark.

    In addition, the material now looks a bit more noble, apparently a matt plastic is used. It is also noticeable that the corners of the Philips Hue dimmer switch are much more rounded in the next generation.

    With CES set for January, its possible that this is when Philips Hue announces these new accessories, which are expected to support HomeKit. A release is reportedly scheduled for sometime in early 2021.

    Letter to the editor: Sharing the Light One by One – Canyon Courier - December 23, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    I have always loved light in many forms sunlight is my favorite and next would probably be candlelight. Once our Christmas tree is donned with lights, we have a tradition in our home to light it first thing in the morning and let it stay lit all day. Around our mountain home, things look pretty dark by 5 p.m. Thats when colorful outdoor lights come on and other holiday lights inside our home. These lights bring warmth and brilliance to those extra hours of darkness as we draw near to the shortest day of the year, theWinter Solstice on Dec. 21. Its no wonder that many of the holidays during this season feature light to shine through the darkness:

    Hanukkah or The Festival of Light with menorah candles; Diwali, meaning rows of lighted lamps is a five-day festival of light; the lighting of candles in the Kwanzaa kinara; The burning of a yule log; lit-up Christmas trees, and houses decorated with Christmas and secular holiday light displays.

    With all the emphasis on light at this time of year, its no coincidence that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a "Light the World campaign, currently under-way.

    Light the World is an invitation to transform the holidays into a season of service; its a worldwide movement to serve others as Jesus did: one by one.

    Unlike 2019, to help slow the spread of COVID-19, this year you can make donations online or find specific Light the World service projects. Go to the Just Serve website and donate service, time, or funds.

    There is a list of charities in the Denver area on the site which will recieve 100% of the donations given on the website. Volunteer activities can be suited toindividuals,small groups, and families. Many activities will be outdoors, and allwill comply with COVID-19 safety regulations.

    Denvers Light the World 2020 campaign runs through New Years Day.

    The site is http://www.justserve.org/lighttheworlddenver

    Our view: Christmas lights and humor are the antidote to 2020 – Joplin Globe - December 23, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    These nights are the longest and darkest of the year.

    And this year, nights and days have been longer and darker than most.

    Thats why it is great to see so many houses, businesses, churches and streets aglow, lit up, decorated and twinkling for the holidays. Christmas lights are the antidote to the place we find ourselves at the end of 2020.

    We urge everyone to get out and see them this week.

    A Joplin woman, Lynn Crouch, has launched a campaign, Joplin Lights and Luminaries, encouraging people to put out both on Christmas eve.

    She is not alone.

    The Dallas Morning News reported recently that the company, Christmas Dcor, which decorates homes and business with outdoor lights, has been popping.

    People need joy right now, said Blake Smith, founder. And they are doing whatever they can to find it.

    The company and its 300 franchises are reportedly on track to light up more than 50,000 properties this year, compared to 43,000 last year.

    Unlike Christmas parades, family gatherings, parties, outings to Christmas shop and many other traditions that have had to be sacrificed in 2020, Christmas lights remain a tradition untouched by the pandemic.

    (Humor helps too. You can find, if youre so inclined, toilet paper and hand sanitizer ornaments, one of Dr. Anthony Fauci, and even Santa with a mask. Christmas stores say these items have become bestsellers.)

    John and Deborah Hird, whose home at 11 Quail Ridge Drive won the Globes second annual Home Holiday Lighting and Decorating Contest, said they do it because we like to try to bring a little bit more joy to the neighborhood.

    Having decorated since moving there nearly 20 years ago, the family also have noted that Christmas decorating is contagious.

    Now theres a superspreader event wed like to see happen!

    2020 Best of Design Award for Temporary Installation: Drawing FieldsDesigner: Outpost OfficeLocation: Lake Forest, Illinois

    Drawing Fields was a temporary performance venue on the campus of Ragdale, a nonprofit artists community just north of Chicago. Drawing Fields utilized GPS-controlled field marking robots to draw site-specific, building-scale drawings on the Ragdale campus. Outpost Office proposed this years ring as a series of temporal performances rather than a conventional installation. Each drawing in the series explored a different theme. Drawing Fields 1 probed robotic kinetics, Drawing Fields 2 delineated socially distanced zones for a scattered audience, and Drawing Fields 3 saturated the campus with colorful patterns. The project adapted to the financial and ecological precarity of our volatile present. Each temporary installation was water-soluble, nontoxic, and disappeared with rain, sun, and growth.

    2020 Best of Design Award for Digital Fabrication: Stereoform SlabDesigner: Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM)Location: Chicago

    Stereoform Slab examines the role of the ubiquitous concrete slab. It is an activation and an exhibition of a design method using advanced robotic fabrication to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete construction. Removed from its context, Stereoform replicates and abstracts a single-story concrete bay to create a simple architectural expression. SOMs research reveals that 40 to 60 percent of a buildings carbon footprint results from concrete slab development.When sustainable fabrication techniques are combined with robotics to create concrete formwork, material usage and waste are minimized. This new approach uses 20 percent less concrete, resulting in a 20 percent carbon reduction. At the full-building scale, carbon reductions of 25 to 30 percent through hyper responsive design and optimization are possible.

    2020 Best of Design Award for Research: New River Train Observation TowerDesigner: Virginia TechLocation: Radford, Virginia

    The New River Train Observation Tower design-build by Virginia Tech students and faculty sets multiple benchmarks for cross-laminated timber (CLT) research, design, and construction. Rather than import softwood CLT into oversupplied, hardwood-dominant forest regions of the eastern United States, the project team chose to think local to reduce carbon emissions. Following eight years of research, the team developed a structurally viable, high-performance local-species H-CLT product with low-grade wood. The H-CLT project is the first permanent building permitted for, and constructed with, hardwood CLT in the United States. The 30-foot-tall, 75-foot-long building sets a precedent for modular CLT construction and the upcycling of low-value local resources into high-value products in hardwood-dominant regions.

Located between the Center for Fine and Performing Arts and the Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, the sculpture anchors the landscape between the STEM disciplines on campus and creates an open ended framework for dialogue between the arts and the sciences.

    2020 Best of Design Award for Student WorkGroup: Volland House No. 1Designers: Design+Make Studio, a partnership between El Dorado and Kansas State University College of Architecture, Planning and DesignLocation: Volland, Kansas

    House No. 1 began as the Edison, a kit house commonly sold by the Gordon-Van Tine company. It was probably delivered in the 1930s by train to Volland, Kansas, where it was then assembled in its current location. The Edison was a two-bedroom bungalow described in the Van Tine catalog as a snug little homecompact, easily heated, and with a room arrangement that is a wonderful space utilizer. The house was subsequently transformed from a generic bungalow into a dedicated artist studio and accommodation space for the Volland Foundation. Its customization was both careful and complicated, requiring immense attention to detail and subtle refinements that heighten the homes original features.

The project creates a cohesive atmosphere through a series of architectural moments that embrace the local environment, all with the aim of enhancing ones perception of and relationship with nature. The separation of buildings on the site and the dispersion of programmed spaces foster privacy by distanceeven in public spaces.
