Who looks up at the ceiling in stores, stadiums, airports etc. when you walk in? « on: March 23, 2018, 10:01:43 AM » Author: F96T12 DD VHO
Well 95% of the time when I walk through the doors of any place I quickly scim the place floor to ceiling to look at lighting. The same thing applies with roads with streetlighting I often go into parking garages to look in lighting IMO you should always look up in any place when you first walk in, just don't do it for an extended amount of time because I got pulled for trying to read an etch on a 6ft tube

I didn't do this until Ria started to make me aware of lighting, now I always glance up to see what type of fittings have been installed.

There are two kinds of light  -  the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.

I used to do this, but I don't so much nowadays, because more often than not they've fitted [censored] LED's

Maybe not, and this may sound strange from someone who used to work with CCTV, but I still don't like so many cameras everywhere. The UK has the most per head of population in the world. In shops, banks, pubs, buses and trains etc. then yes, but I don't like the feeling I'm being watched just walking along the street minding my own business.

Sometimes but not as often as when I was a kid. Also, I mistook a camera that was recently installed at a gate in front of a house for a streetlight. It looked like an antique style light until I got closer.

Not to mention that there now IP cameras which connects to the internet, via by an app or to a PC. I think the Bosch ones are more advanced, cause they have 360 degree view cameras. Which they are cool, than being pointing at a certain valuable object, or entry door.
