The SOCCKET uses the rotational energy that gets generated every time the ball rolls to produce three hours of light for every hour of play.
|
|
With alkaline batteries, the max brightness run time is the same, but at a low setting, you will get an impressive 300 hours of light.
|

Despite the Christmas lights and cheer, much of the country is cold and shrouded in darkness, only getting eight or fewer hours of light per day.
|
|
However, the lights themselves can last over 10 years if a grower uses around 50,000 hours of light, or an average of 12 hours a day, Yorio said.

Just a few years ago the idea that "off-grid" systems could fill the gap seemed preposterous: the market was dominated by charities giving away solar-powered lanterns that could produce a few hours of light at night.
|
|
In 2009, a radio, a mobile-phone charger, and a solar system big enough to provide four hours of light and television a day would have cost a Kenyan a thousand dollars; now it's three hundred and fifty dollars.

In Northern areas of Norway, this day has 24 hours of light, while southern areas have only 17.5 hours.
|
|
Larvae exposed to cyclic photoperiods (shifting intermittently between 12 hours of light to 12 hours of darkness) have higher rates of development than larvae exposed to constant photoperiods (24 hours of light per day). These findings suggest that darkness may be a stimulus for larval growth. However, these variations in light photoperiods failed to influence pupal duration times.

Plants that have lost function of LHY and CCA1 lose the ability to stably maintain circadian rhythm and other output phenomena. In one study, such plants showed photoperiod- insensitive early flowering under long- day (16 hours of light/ 8 hours of dark) conditions and short day (8 hours of light, 16 hours of dark conditions), and arrhythmicity under constant light conditions.Aihara, Kohei, and Satoshi Naramoto.

Mutants such as cca1-1 plants, which lack CCA1 protein, show short period phenotypes for the expression of several genes when assayed under constant light conditions. They also have a period 3 hours shorter than that of the wild-type plant, which demonstrates that expression of LHY, its homolog, cannot fully compensate for the loss of the function of CCA1. Plants that have lost function of LHY and CCA1 (lhy;cca1) lost the ability to stably maintain circadian rhythm and other output phenomena. In one study, lhy;cca1 show photoperiod- insensitive early flowering under long- day (16 hours of light/ 8 hours of dark) conditions and short day (8 hours of light, 16 hours of dark conditions), and arrhythmicity under constant light conditions.

Musallam founded the Christian-Islamic Forum of Gaza. In 2006, the year he was appointed monsignor, he provided in an email to a journal directed by Giulio Andreotti, a detailed description of the bleak life in Gaza. Electricity is lacking, sometimes with only 4 hours of light, and children are raised in fear of the dark, the haunt in their culture of ghosts, the devil and fear.

Diapause, also known as hibernation, in European corn borers is induced by temperature and changes in daylight length. At higher temperatures, shorter photoperiods are sufficient to induce diapause. At 13.5 hours of light followed by 10.5 hours of dark, 100% of European corn borer larva entered diapause regardless of temperature with the range of 18 to 29 degrees Celsius. At high temperatures and long photoperiods, fewer larva enter diapause.

"Hawking" is the capture of flying insects directly from the air, and "lunging" is the less common technique of striking forward to catch a moving invertebrate on the ground. Earthworms are caught by pulling from soil. Common starlings that have periods without access to food, or have a reduction in the hours of light available for feeding, compensate by increasing their body mass by the deposition of fat.

|
Following this intense period of development, an adult moth emerges from the pupa. The length of the pupal stage is determined by environmental factors such as temperature, number of hours of light, and larval nutrition, in addition to genetics. The bivoltine populations of European corn borers undergo the pupal stage twice, first in May and June and then again in July and August. During the winter, the European corn borer stays in its larval stage.

A rem, or roentgen equivalent man, is a measurement of absorption of radiation on parts of the body over an extended period of time. A DAC is a concentration of alpha and beta particles that an average working employee is exposed to for 2,000 hours of light work. If an employee is exposed to over 10% of an ALI, 500 mREM, then the employee's dose must be documented under instructions with federal and state regulations.

Maximum pheromone titer is from day one to day five, and then decreases. The highest concentration of the major female sex pheromone, (Z)-9 hexadecenal (Z9-Z16:Al), is released in a distinct pattern over a 24-hour period or a circadian periodicity. This pattern is affected by age, photoperiod, and temperature. The daily rhythm of hormone production varies when the female moths are reared under 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness vs.

One of Al Rawi's lawyer's, Brent Mickum, described how comfort items were withheld from Al Rawi. Al Rawi toilet paper ration was fifteen sheets a day. However, when he tried using sheets of toilet paper to block out the 24 hours of light in his cell, his toilet paper ration was withheld. When Al Rawi was subject to extremes of temperature, and was kept in a very cold cell, his prayer rug was confiscated when he tried to use it as a blanket.

The whole county has arable land of over 680 square kilometers and irrigated lands of nearly 400 square kilometers. Located at 37 degrees north latitude, it has advantages of long hours of light and a large temperature difference between day and night for high-quality agricultural products. Crops grown in Jingtai are wheat, corn, pears, melons and apricot. The special agricultural products mainly include desert wolfberry, pear, red date, Dajie apricot, apple, small grains, desert melon, Gobi fish, shrimp, crab, licorice sheep.

The degree of deterioration is different for each respective object. For paper-based items, the suggested maximum length of time that they should be on display is three months per year, or 42 kilolux hours of light per year – whichever comes first.Edward P. Adcock, IFLA Principles for the Care and Handling of Library Material (Paris: IFLA, 1998), 6. An exhibition log report, including records of the length of the exhibition time and the light level of the display, may prevent objects from being exhibited too frequently.

Due to the prior knowledge, Republican military leaders had formed operational plans which dictated a policy of minimal violence to prevent losses. The Hizbullah men were intercepted and surrounded, and after just several hours of light combat the militias surrendered before reaching the center of Bukittinggi. They were disarmed, and some men who attempted to escape by blending into civilians were not pursued. Outside of Bukittinggi, the rebels managed to capture some civilian officials (such as future minister Eny Karim), but by morning the following day principal coup leaders had been arrested.

An expanded and re-written version came out in 1582. This manual includes instructions for the manufacture and laying out of mural (vertical) and horizontal sundials; contains extensive tables of declinations for various latitudes with both occidental and oriental examples; and provides instructions for the calculation of latitudes. This last section includes a description of a sundial calibrated for the measurement of unequal hours, such as those used in the ecclesiastic calendar, which foresaw twelve hours of light and twelve of dark, which was subject to severe seasonal variations.

SALt lamp or "sustainable alternative lighting" lamp is a LED lamp powered by the galvanic reaction of an anode with saline water invented by Aisa Mijeno. It can provide eight hours of light, as well as power to a USB port for charging a phone. The product concept was formed after living with the Butbut tribe for days relying only on kerosene lamps and moonlight to do evening chores. The saltwater serves not as the power source but as the electrolyte that facilitates the current flow within the metal-air battery.

Quoted in Ross 1998 (p. 1-2, " form ") The hairs grow longer in the summer, to about ten millimetres long. The pigmentation of hair is controlled by the hormone prolactin and colour genetics. Day length can be less than 14 hours to initiate the change to winter coat, though it is possible they may be able to sense a directional change in photoperiod length, such as in one experiment that demonstrated a transition from 16 hours of light to 14 hours initiates a change to the winter coat.

Riding far ahead of the army Marlborough personally examined the enemy position, observing through his telescope preparations for a camp on the far side of the river in expectation of the arrival of the Elector's main force the following day.Trevelyan: England Under Queen Anne: Blenheim, 359. There was, therefore, no time to be lost. Although the Duke had 12 hours of light remaining in the day his men were still struggling in the mud, miles away behind the river Wörnitz, and they could not hope to launch the attack before about 18:00, leaving just two hours before nightfall.

A Cannabis plant in the vegetative growth phase of its life requires more than 12–13 hours of light per day to stay vegetative. Flowering usually occurs when darkness equals at least 12 hours per day. The flowering cycle can last anywhere between nine and fifteen weeks, depending on the strain and environmental conditions. When the production of psychoactive cannabinoids is sought, female plants are grown separately from male plants to induce parthenocarpy in the female plant's fruits (popularly called "'sin semilla' which is Spanish for 'without seed'" ) and increase the production of cannabinoid-rich resin.

More nocturnal varieties are hunted opportunistically and may be caught in the first or last few hours of light. Other smallish mammals, such as shrews, moles, pikas, bats, and weasels, tend to be minor secondary prey, although can locally be significant for individual species. Larger mammals, such as rabbits, hares, and marmots, including even adult specimens weighing as much as , may be hunted by the heaviest and strongest species, such as ferruginous,Smith, D. G. and J. R. Murphy. 1978. Biology of the Ferruginous Hawk in central Utah. Sociobiology 3:79-98.Thurow, T. L., C. M. White, R. P. Howard, and J. F. Sullivan. 1980.

While the photography yielded the director satisfactory results critically, the rest of the production was difficult from the start. The actors and crew reportedly viewed Malick as cold and distant. After two weeks of shooting, Malick was so disappointed with the dailies, he "decided to toss the script, go Leo Tolstoy instead of Fyodor Dostoyevsky, wide instead of deep [and] shoot miles of film with the hope of solving the problems in the editing room." The harvesting machines constantly broke down, which resulted in shooting beginning late in the afternoon, allowing for only a few hours of light before it was too dark to go on.

Baldwin showed that when animals were given control of their lighting with the equivalent of an on/off switch, pigs kept lights on for 72% of the time and sheep for 82%. However, when the pigs had to work for the light by keeping their snout within a photo- beam, they only kept the lights on for 0.5% of the time, indicating that light was a weak reinforcement for this species. Savory and Duncan showed that individual hens kept in a background of darkness were prepared to work for 4 hours of light per day.Savory, C.J. and Duncan, I.J.H. (1982.) Voluntary regulation of lighting by domestic fowls in skinner boxes.

Inti Raymi at Saksaywaman, Cusco Inti Raymi, Cusco, Huacaypata, 2005 Celebration of Inti Raymi by the Salasaca, in the background the Chimborazo can be seen The Inti Raymi'rata (Quechua for "Inti festival") is a traditional religious ceremony of the Inca Empire in honor of the god Inti (Quechua for "sun"), the most venerated deity in Inca religion. It was the celebration of the winter solstice - the shortest day of the year in terms of the time between sunrise and sunset - and the Inca New Year, when the hours of light would begin to lengthen again. In territories south of the equator, the Gregorian months of June and July are winter months. It is held on June 24.

The ability to achieve this varies from culture to culture, being particularly difficult in countries such as Australia where tertiary education is more socialised. Seven years after inaugural work commenced at the Bronowski Institute of Behavioural Neuroscience, significant funding was received from an independent source to aid in the development of a novel class of drugs for treating Parkinson's disease. Continued work led to subsequent discoveries in the areas of circadian function and Parkinson's disease, supported by funding from private sources in Australia, the United States and Europe. In 1996, The Bronowski Clinic was established on the basis of findings from preclinical models of experimental Parkinson's disease showing that exposure to 24 hours of light enhanced recovery from the disease.

The country and the region were placed in a general alert and throughout the day many notable personalities attempted to negotiate a peaceful resolution. As the hours passed on many other technical and support elements of the base pleaded their support for the group of commandos who placed all the detainees inside an area under construction in the Base clinic and the president and his close lieutenants in the office of the base command. In the last hours of the evening the president had ordered by telephone the release of General Vargas and through his personal secretary in the capital Quito had authorized public statements of the events. With the last hours of light, the detained officers were released and transported by bus to Guayaquil.
