While I was cleaning the apartment up before my mom visited me with my 2nd cousin from Japan, for some odd reason the light that was shining through my air freshener caught my attention. So I took off the part that releases the scent, and I noticed that the light-bulb that heats up the wax in the part I had removed looks like a C-type light-bulb. I remember during one of the lectures that Lonnie had said a "candlelight bulb" runs under the C-type category, so i thought why not analyze this bulb, haha. Because this light bulb has 2 pieces of burning metal I can tell it is incandescent, and it is an Edison plug. After taking a picture of the lightbulb, to my surprise the picture shows a color effect with the warm orange slowly becoming darker and darker. It makes me wonder why this bulb has such an orange light? When I think about how the warm color has an affect on how I feel and how it relaxes me before I sleep, I get the sense that night-lights are made a certain brightness and tint to affect us. It's funny how it is only week 4 and this class is already changing the way I look at my night-light air-freshener.
Nice comments. Kelvin temperature discussed today in class explains the color and remember 'C-Type' stands for Conical, no Candle :) but all of this does not add up to the emotion it helps to create in you - nice ties from light to emotion
