As it moves though the different time periods, and more importantly, adopting, modifying, the technology from civilization to civilization. We found in 4500 BC Oil lamps began to appear, and the next evolution in lamp technology came in 3000 BC, and this is when candles were known to be invented. Each generation adapting the lamp to its needs. 900 AD the kerosene lamp; 1780 improved the oil lamp efficiency to the draft flame. You can really see the lamp technology explode when each civilization combines other technology to achieve a new type of fire lamp. In 1841 Arc-lighting, 1854 incandescent lamp by passing an electric current through a carbonized bamboo filament, 1867 coated electric discharge tubes with luminescent materials, a process that was further developed in later fluorescent lamps. Now keep in mind this technology is adapting, and modifying as each person; each civilization modifies this…

After around four months we started unconventional channel partners and started with a few exclusive Havells Small Domestic Appliances Mini Stores and Mobile Stores. We also started covering channel partners on the flank, that is those that catered to similar customers but with different products.

Abstract Inspired by the color tuning function of King Blade X (an electronic glow stick), this paper investigates different approaches of LED color tuning, including dim-to warm tuning, white color tuning, and full color tuning. This paper would go over their operating principles, advantage and withdraws, and potential applications. Introduction The interest to investigate LED color tuning originated from my King Blade.
