Fluorescent lighting

[tabbypurr]

it varies.

I've worked with fluorescents for decades, among other things, including the occasional custom setup. It's pretty obvious who can't work much out.

your other sillies snipped.

What sort of places are they put then ?

Expected, but where do they put the starters for flourscent tubes then if you've really used them for decades as you claim then you'll be able to list thopse places won't you.

Even you can't be that stupid? But perhaps you can.

When the lift was upgraded a few years ago they did install an arrow display to show which direction and which was the next floor. But with studetns in and outside the lift you had little idea which direction it might go in after you hit the button, even once inside.

Teh option was to just get in (with the trolly) and see what happens.

Do you happen to know why there are close and open buttons on the central line tube train doors ?

Only the really dim would say that.

Why does that matter? The lift will stop at your floor if going in your direction. Or the next time it gets to it, again going in your direction.

Surely your students ain't as stupid as you?

And waste the time of others in the lift. Good call, that.

But previously there was no way of telling where the lift was or in which direction it was going unless you were in it.

yes it was becausxe originally the lift was for staff only studetns weren't supose to use it. Years ago it was key operated. But in the early 80s the HoD decided that all lifts should be open for student use. Previously very few studetns used that stairwell, it was mostly for emergency only exit as it really didnlt go anywhere else of use to the students. But during our refurb it was teh ONLY exit/entrance they could use as the other entrance was blocked off to install a bnew stairwell, so it was busy with students.
