Is this in Germany? This looks very German to me and I can't even tell why.

[–] sznowicki 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes it’s Germany. Hessen.

Somewhere in the Reichstag: "Mein gott! A gartenlicht ist kaput somewhere! Hans! Schnellschnellschnell!!!"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Dude,that is not done in the Reichstag,that is far too inefficient.

We of course have our own government department for that, the Bundeswegbeleuchtungsreparaturamt (Federal footpath lighting repair authority) which is part of the Bundesimmobilienverwaltung(Federal real estate authority).

There are of course similar institutions on the state level (besides Saxony/Sachsen, it seems they like to live in the dark) like the Landesweglichtverwaltung (State path light administration) of Baden-Wurttemberg.

Some larger communities have similar agencies,but most simply have a commissary for it (Dorfweglichtbeauftragter), and yes, they are mostly named Hans, Dieter or sometimes Horst.

This is actually a very sensitive topic as the people suffered a lot during the war time black outs and therefore wanted to make sure that never happens again. (Besides Saxony, as I said,they prefer to keep it like 45 in some places).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can't even tell if you're messing with us or if this is completely true.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Im German and I can't even tell if he's joking.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

What? Messing with you? That would imply humour, which is inefficient and therefore forbidden by law!

This is scandalous!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, if it were the US, that playground would be a parking lot.

How many Germans does it take to change a light bulb?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

One, they are efficient and don't have humour.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lights scream German. Colors scream American base.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

this just restored my faith in humanity

[–] Viking_Hippie 13 points 1 year ago

Also turned up the ambient lighting (the sun), while they were at it, I see! Result!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

This is the kind of content I live for right here. Good shit op

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Idk if it's my app or what, but the link to the original post takes me to yiff... I'm using Connect on Android.

[–] LazaroFilm 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yiff might have a link grabber. I wish apps could parse links and redirect them in app. It’s an issue on many apps on iOS too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nope it's not you. I am using jerboa. When I click on the link it opens a furry post. When I copy the link and open it in Firefox, it opens the intended original post.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Transyiff at that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Might be your app, I just saw someone mention the same issue in another thread

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Works on Sync

[–] snek 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Excuse me, is this in Sweden by any chance?

Scratch that, just saw OP say it's Germany. Goddamn, they look like the lights next to my apartment block rofl plus the nordic feel

[–] crimsdings 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Could be a random place in Vienna aswell, just by looking at it. Guess architecture is converging

Unexpected but very nice of them to do so.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Maybe the temperature can be changed on the fly and it just glitched out one night.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

colour temperature is only changeable when you “mix” other colours in: usually you have cold white and warm white LEDs and you mix them to get whatever temp you want

for commercial, i doubt they’d double the LEDs so you could adjust them… the name of the game in commercial lighting is buy what you need, buy it cheap, and don’t pay for things you won’t use

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There are led bulbs that have variable light temperatures, I have some in my room as we speak. Don't need multiple bulbs. They're not that expensive either, and they do sometimes have a hickup if I accidentally flip the switch multiple times too fast, and reset to their default temperature and brightness.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

not multiple bulbs no, but those bulbs have multiple LEDs in them… LEDs only have a single colour, but you can produce variable colour (or colour temperature) bulbs by mixing R/G/B or warm white and cold white

philips hue bulbs for example have red, green, blue, warm white, and cold white LEDs so they can mix any colour or colour temperature

to have variable colour temperature requires a warm white and a cold white LED that get mixed, so they’re always being used at 50% or less (because 50% emission on both is the same brightness as 100% of 1)… commercial fixtures are likely to not give that option and only include a single LED at fixed colour temperature to avoid 2x the parts

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It gets funnier when you realize that warm white is physically colder than cool white as well. And vice versa.

[–] sznowicki 8 points 1 year ago

No no. We’ve see the Hausmaister coming in the morning and replacing the bulb ;)

[–] FuglyDuck 1 points 1 year ago

Adafruit has an excellent tut on controlling RBGW arrays via a pi pico and circuit python (or a lot of other controllers. or whatever.) I built the niece a night light/bed lamp (along with a white noise generator) It has a number of different odds and ends to control it, including five rotary encoders that also have push-button switches.... it didn't take her too long to learn that, if the button switches happen to be pushed in the right sequence... "Party Mode" comes on, with rainbow flashy goodness.

The, uh, sequences keep mysteriously changing and getting tougher for some strange reason...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That link to the "Original Post" doesn't seem to work, unless I'm missing the joke.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

It works for me, so the issue must be on your side (or they fixed the link)
