#Miniature LED Light Bulbs

[novella-november]

If you'd like an example of how to use the phrase "Technology sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic" in your story:

Imagine what it would be like to live in a world where electrical lighting doesn't exist at all, or is a luxury only a few can afford; where light bulbs can burn you from their heat and only last a dozen hours of use...

... And some stranger in strange clothes walks up, sticks some little crystal rods in the ground in the sun, and you watch in awe as the sun sets and each of those little crystaline rods lights up in the growing gloom, casting a pool of miraculous, magical light around them.

Then the strange magician points their larger device, a tall contraption of silver rods and flexible necks like snakes with crystal heads, and they turn a small ring on the side of his silver hydra and *click* --

--the very sun has come down into your barn! And is lighting up the whole thing with crystal clear clarity! In a color of light you've never seen! not inside a building anyhow!!!

And as you draw closer to the sun at the stranger's bidding, you realize, even more wonderous... This sun in miniature does not scald you, and you can even touch the crystal heads of the snakes, and feel only a gentle warmth under your fingers, instead of burning flames of trapped energy converted into heat.

This sun is cool to the touch! This magical silver hydra of crystal-headed snakes must be the god of a frozen realm!

...... What i just described from an outside perspective, is some solar lights from the Dollar Tree and a five-headed lamp, all of whom have LED bulbs, which gives off a fraction of the heat of incandescent bulbs, while being even brighter and longer lasting.

Anyways, this was inspired by the original "the thing" from 1938 where some scientists are thawing out an alien body under some lamps, and the realization that they don't even need specifically *heat lamps* because of how far technology has advanced, they're in a time and written in a time where lightbulbs got incredibly warm just from being in use,

whereas today I can have an LED running for hours and touch them with only mild discomfort -- a far cry from my memories as a kid of accidentally grabbing a light bulb too soon after turning them off to change it, and getting burned from the heat.

It's time for me to rant about things i'm mad about that no one else cares about

so Michael's (the craft store) sells collectible town miniatures from a brand called Lemax. they (michael's) sell two seasonal towns, christmas and halloween (lemax has other towns but they seem to be something they don't make/sell anymore). i don't care about the christmas one so i'm gonna talk about the halloween one but i'm sure this also applies to the christmas one. (i've also found a place online called eerie emporium that sells spooky town, they're much better than michael's about holding onto older stock of it)

i started collecting spooky town in college, when i found a graveyard gate piece that lights up and some figurines on mega sale the day after halloween. i've really gone ham with it ever since, but i need to find an alternative. the price keeps going up (ONE building this year costs $200, which is absolutely outrageous, esp since it isn't a very good looking one) and the quality keeps going down.

they used to make a lot of their buildings out of a ceramic-type material (i think it was a plastic ceramic, but it still feels and behaves like ceramic) and the ones that weren't ceramic were a sturdy plastic, but now they've moved to all flimsy plastic all the time.

i understand that certain parts have to be made of lighter materials, particularly if they have moving parts, but even the ones that just have a nightlight bulb in them are oops all plastic. (though they do have led nightlight bulb replacement things that don't get nearly as hot, so that's nice)

another drop in quality is the paint jobs. they used to actually have some detail on the buildings and the figurines, but now it's like they just took a big brush and went "splort splort splort that looks fine". some of the people don't even have eyes and mouths anymore, just flesh toned molded plastic. i hate this. i shouldn't have to repaint things this expensive just to make them look good. i've modified pieces before (i was weirded out by the grocer having a (human) body hanging in the window so i made essentially a new sticker without the person and figured out how to remove the meat display thing and put in the new sticker), but i shouldn't HAVE to modify them to make them look even passable.

the figures are stupid expensive too, but not nearly as bad as the buildings. i've found out that if i stop caring about the scale being exactly right, i can buy the michael's in-house brand (ashland tiny treasures) of figurines for much cheaper (which are back after a couple years, no idea why they stopped selling those for a little bit but i was upset about that but i'm having trouble finding them their website). i also have designed some minis in HeroForge that i'll do up for spooky town one day when i'm rich and famous and buy a 3d printer, so ultimately the figures aren't something i'm terribly worried about never being able to find again, i'm just frustrated about them.

i love things about the lemax spooky town like the colored lighting and the moving parts, so i can't just move to only ones with nightlight bulbs in them. i certainly have no objections to ones with nightlight bulbs and no moving parts, i have several that are lemax and like 3 that are little houses from some unknown brand that i thrifted that don't match the lemax at all, but i still love them. i've thrifted vintage lemax pieces (for the human town portion of spooky town), but they're hard to find bc resale value is high for older pieces, but that's a whole other issue.

YET ANOTHER issue with lemax is the mechanical parts just straight up not working. i've got this one piece that's a skeleton and grim reaper in a hot air balloon that's supposed to spin, but it completely stopped working after like 2 years. i managed to pop it open and fix it, but the next year it wasn't working again and i couldn't fix it. there's also a pretty big facebook group about fixing specifically lemax pieces, since lemax refuses to offer repairs or replacements for broken pieces, which is pretty stupid, but that does mean that there's been an opportunity for a few people in that fb group to actually get paid to fix them (so i guess one nice thing coming out of corporate greed). i do have a piece that i intentionally broke, the ghoulish gourd, which has a jack o lantern on top that sways back and forth and the top half of it with the eyes spins 180 to have evil or happy eyes and makes the LOUDEST snapping noise when it does that (i just cut the wire on it so it doesn't have power to the spinning mechanism). the spinning/snapping also knocks the jack o lantern off its base, which i have to re-seat every year because it was previously holding on with sheer willpower, since glue doesn't seem to be very good at holding it on.

there are absolutely things i love about the lemax spooky town, but i need to find an alternative, because i'm just starting to get to the point of being over it, and i don't want to lose another thing i love (namely, having a little halloween town) to corporate apathy.

rant over.

2. Tank Selection: Choose a tank that complements the Victorian theme. Rimmed tanks with dark, ornate frames or even custom-designed tanks that mimic antique furniture can be excellent choices. Select a size that suits the available space and allows for the comfortable accommodation of the chosen fish species.

3. Decorative Substrate: For a Victorian fish tank, consider using a substrate that reflects the elegance of the era. Dark gravel or sand can provide a classic backdrop for the aquarium. Substrate materials like crushed coral or natural gravel can enhance the visual appeal while promoting a healthy environment for the aquarium's inhabitants.

4. Victorian-Inspired Décor: Integrate Victorian-inspired décor elements such as faux coral, classical sculptures, or miniature replicas of Victorian artifacts. Porcelain figurines, small vases, or even miniature sculptures reminiscent of the Victorian period can be strategically placed to create a visually appealing underwater landscape.

5. Plant Selection: Incorporate aquarium plants that align with the Victorian theme. Anacharis, java fern, or other plants with a lush and slightly wild appearance can evoke a sense of the Victorian fascination with nature. Ensure that the selected plants are suitable for the fish species and tank conditions.

6. Lighting: Victorian-era interiors were often characterized by soft, warm lighting. Mimic this ambiance with subdued aquarium lighting. Use fixtures with warm-toned bulbs or consider incorporating dimmable LED lights to create different moods within the tank. Ensure that the lighting is suitable for both the aesthetic appeal and the well-being of the fish and plants.

7. Fish Selection: Choose fish species that thrive in the aquarium conditions and are compatible with the Victorian aesthetic. Species like angelfish, guppies, or gouramis can add elegance to the tank. Research the specific care requirements of the chosen fish to ensure their well-being.

8. Filtration and Heating: Modern filtration and heating systems are essential for maintaining a healthy aquarium environment. While the equipment itself may not be visually Victorian, it should be discreetly placed and hidden behind decorative elements or within the aquarium stand. Prioritize the well-being of the fish by providing stable and suitable water conditions.

9. Maintenance: Regular maintenance is crucial to keep the Victorian fish tank thriving. Perform water changes, clean the substrate, and trim plants as needed. Incorporate maintenance activities seamlessly into the overall aesthetic by using Victorian-style tools and accessories.

We didn’t do it this way before because the voltage you needed to get a good amount of light out of a light bulb was way over 1.5 volts, so you had to put them in series. We could have put in a voltage-booster circuit, but it wasn’t miniaturized enough to fit until the 2000s or so.

We can do it now with LEDs because we have to add a bunch of current-regulation circuitry to handle the LED, and it’s not a massive jump to add the voltage booster since it overlaps much of the current regulator circuitry.

But in either case you have more components than the series-batteries design, so cost will increase and reliability will be lower.

The other thing I wonder about the fewer-batteries configurations above is how they keep the batteries from falling out of alignment when the flashlight is hit. Do you have to carry around a filler block? Is there a center post to keep things from flopping around?
