Benefits Of Using Bedroom Wall Lampssconces Instead Of Table Lamps Do You Want To Add More Lighting

Comments Disabled

Do you want to add more lighting to your bedroom but don’t have enough space on your bedside table ? Does your room itself even have enough space for a bedside table, let alone a table lamp. If the answer is “no”, then you’re definitely in luck. To solve both of those problems, you can use other lighting solutions such as bedroom walls lamps or bedroom wall sconces. These light fixtures are often mounted up high on walls so they don’t take up room and they tend to light up the room even better than traditional lamps. Let’s take a look at the benefits of these bedroom wall lamps/scones and how to install them easily.

There are many benefits for having bedroom wall lamps or sconces, these include:

– No cords – there are no loose cords hanging out.

– No power outlet required – these fixtures often use power sources that are located inside the wall which makes your general power outlets free for other devices or appliances.

– Easy to locate switches – No longer will you be fiddling around to find the on-switch of a lamp in the dark. Wall lamps or sconces have separate switches that can be located within arms reach.

There are two types of these wall lighting fixtures. They either come in as regular mounted bedroom wall lamps/sconces or as the mounted swing arm lamps. To determine which type of wall lighting is best for you, it all comes down as to what you are going to use it for? If you want to light up the room to create some ambiance, then I’d suggest you purchase the regular mounted bedroom wall lamps/sconces. These are either mounted right against the wall or extend out by a few inches from the wall. The main reason you should be purchasing swing arm lamps is if you wish to read (or similar tasks) at night in the comfort of your own bed. These swing arm lamps often extend out to about 13-inches in length and they’re able to swing in any direction to adjust the lighting; Which is very handy when reading a book.

The process of installing wall lamps or sconces will require you to hire a licensed electrician for quality assurance and safety precautions. There are five steps involved:

Step 1. Planning Stage: Determine the locations of the lamps/sconces by marking out on the wall. Locate the nearest power source and mark how the wiring is going to run along the inside.

Step 2. Ensure Safety: Disable the power supply on the circuit breaker. It’s also important to find any hidden wires, so I suggest using a voltage detector along the marked areas of the wall.

Step 3. Drilling/Cutting Holes: Using a drywall saw, cut out the marked out holes for the lamps/sconces in the wall.

Step 4. Wiring: From the power source run the wires to the light switch hole. Next, from the light switch run wires to the holes for the lamps/sconces.

Step 5. Installing: Install each of component into it’s respective hole including any mounting pieces. At this stage, the wires should be connected to the electrical box knockouts. Finished!

Now when installation is complete, all that’s left is testing out your new lighting fixtures. As mentioned earlier, there are some steps that may be a little difficult for some people to do so it’s important to gain some assistance from professionals.

Life Casting Using Alginate

Comments Disabled

Alginate Moulding Compound
Alginate is primarily used for making moulds of body parts eg. Hands, Feet, Faces etc. It is very quick setting and will pick up fine detail. It is seaweed based and is non toxic. The dust from alginate (as with any dust) can be a respiratory hazard and precautions should be taken to avoid inhalation

Basic Instructions
Powder/Water Ratio = 1 to 1 ie. 1 cup of Alginate to 1 cup of Cold Water
1) Measure out required quantities
2) Place alginate in a clean dry bowl
3) Add water slowly and begin mixing. Mix vigourously to break down
any lumps. It should have a similar consitency to porridge.
4) Working time is approx 1-2 minutes. You will need to work quickly to
make your mould.
5) When set, you will need to cast plaster into the mould as soon as
possible as your mould will start to break down quickly.
6) When plaster has set remove alginate taking care not to break any
delicate parts.
Chromatic alginate will go purple when mixed, when set it will turn to white.

Notes:
Moulds made from alginate will need to be supported. If taking a mould of a hand this can be done by pouring alginate into a jug or similar vessel and then sink hand into it. Tap to remove any air bubbles. When set alginate is very flexible so you will be able to carefully pull hand out. The jug will provide support. If taking a cast of a face or torso, when the alginate has set, apply a couple of layers of modroc over the top to form the support when
removed.

Alginate will not stick to skin but will grip hair, thoroughly coat any exposed hair with petroleum jelly.

Alginate will bond to fabric. Take care with clothing and furnishings.

When making a face cast ensure subject can breath (straws can be useful for this) and that their eyes are closed. Block nose and earholes with cotton wool and apply petroleum jelly to eye brows and any other exposed facial hair (a swimming cap or similar should be used to cover hair on head) Work from the forehead down, ensuring no air bubbles get trapped
in the corners of the eyes or around the nostrils. Use a lolly stick to work alginate around the nose. When set apply modroc to form support

Approx Quantities Required
Baby Hand or Foot 200g Adult Hand or Foot 450g
Face without Ears 450g Front Torso 900g
These are only approximate guides. It may be worthwhile to do test casts before undertaking larger projects.
If you wish to make copies of your cast use latex to make a reusable mould.

Comments Disabled

The redesigned sales showrooms of the AMG Performance Centres are characterised by a consistently applied and unique AMG brand identity. High-quality materials, exclusive furnishings and a palette of colours that is representative of AMG create an exclusive atmosphere for sales discussions. An oversized AMG engine badge serves to remind visitors of the companys philosophy of One Man One Engine: the assembly of each powerful AMG engine by just one engineer. The individualisation options available through the wide selection of models are also reflected at the AMG Performance Centres in the form of paintwork and colour samples.

The targeted training of AMG Sales and Service experts all over the world through a uniform coaching partner ensures first-class service delivery at every touch-point throughout the customer relationship, says Eckart Mayer, Divisional Manager, Mercedes-Benz Cars.

A hotline to the experts of AMG at the Mercedes-Benz South Africa office also guarantees that the high standards of service expected by AMG customers can be met: Every AMG Performance Centre can make direct contact with an AMG expert, should they have any questions about the product or specific configuration possibilities, adds Mayer.

AMG Performance customer events with exclusive appeal
A special brand experience will be provided by a series of AMG Performance customer events at the five Mercedes-Benz brand centres, including Mercedes-Benz Century City in Cape Town, Mercedes-Benz Umhlanga in Durban, Mercedes-Benz Bryanston for Gauteng West, Mercedes-Benz Bedfordview for Gauteng East and
Mercedes-Benz Menlyn for Tshwane.

These exclusive events will allow a number of customers at each of the five AMG Performance Centres to experience the world of AMG in more detail. Expert presenters will talk to customers and prospective customers about the history and the fascination of the AMG brand. High-performance vehicles from the current AMG range will be on display; whilst the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, the latest vehicle from AMG will have its local premiere.

Training for AMG Performance Centres in two waves

Recently five AMG specialists from the five centres, as well as a number of highest performing Mercedes-Benz sales candidates, attended the specialised sales training at the Mercedes-Benz Dynamic Driving facility at the Zwartkop Raceway. Every element of what the customer would experience on the dynamic driving course was covered. This was not only high-speed track driving, but included familiarisation with the vehicles, the various suspension settings, gearbox programmes, ESP collision and avoidance exercises and braking distance recognition. The participants also had the opportunity to experience a demonstration of the PRE-SAFE system and brake assist, says Graeme Ingram, Product Specialist, Mercedes-Benz Cars.

Initially the participants were given an evaluation form to rate the vehicles. After the two days of intensive driver training, a real understanding of the vehicles was evident. The participants were astonished at the capabilities of the S65 AMGs performance and the way in which it displayed its 2,3 ton mass, adds Ingram.

The Zwartkop Raceway caters for on-track, skid-pan and off-road driving and as the home of the Mercedes-Benz Dynamic Driving Academy, is ideally suited for the many activities hosted by Mercedes-Benz Cars, concludes Ingram.

AMG in Southern Africa
Every customer who purchases an AMG product is awarded a complimentary dynamic driving course to ensure they get the full benefit of the technical innovations and capabilities of their vehicles.

Considering the fact that South Africa is one of the largest AMG markets in the world we feel the Performance Centre concept is a perfect representation of the AMG brand and an ideal fit for our brand centres. These centres, with their dedicated specialised AMG sales and service staff, will give our AMG clients a truly unique experience. concluded Mayer.
