Light. All around us in the day, it is a spectrum of many colours, a rainbow we cannot perceive unaided.. There are all sorts of light;
Blue sky sunshine light sorts of days, with spring in the air, where you want to gambol like a lamb and there’s a spring in your step, and optimism about everything. Where you want to pick up dandelions and pick each leaf off one by one, or nestle a buttercup under your chin and let the pollen leave a yellow mark.
Then there’s late winter afternoon light. Somewhere just before the sun sets, that induces a wintery hibernation sleepiness. Where your eyelids are as heavy as garage doors and about to close. Where you just want to find a burrow and slow your heart rate down to 1 thump a minute.
What about the amazing electric light - a few sorts now; incandescent, the original Edison ‘invention’ though it took him and his team 10,000 tries - “I didn’t fail 9,999 times I just didn’t succeed until the 10,000th light bulb”- attitude.
Filaments burn on for set periods of time, in kitchens , in hallways, in lounge rooms. You cannot hold an incandescent globe when it’s on as it is too hot, they burn silent.
Fluorescent lights however hum, sometimes imperceptibly, but they do. These require an igniter, but once on they are self sufficient. Hanging on the roof like mutant space ships, waiting to zap someone up and interogate them. They’re not really friendly are they? Fluorescents. Lately there’s the ‘long life’ globe- better for the environment lasting 90% longer and using 50% less power. Usually they are a curly-wurly twisted shape and have a reminiscence of fluro- they might even be - not up to speed. We have some here. Soon you won’t be able to by incandescent’s and all you’ll get is these.
