I am just wondering what is the internal system to detect the ongoing earthquake and how it is tuned to the 5.0 Ricther scale.Is is an accelerometer?what about the distance from the ground?Is this affecting the application?Even I have these doubts (maybe to be clarified jointly) I believe this is a good idea.let's work together on it and then I will distribute this in italy...

It would also be less prone to shattering from vibration (LED would not shatter the way a glass arc bulb might). For aviation, nobrainerdeals, other colours are used to indicate the presence of a runway (like red marker lights to denote to crowns of light fixtures and building crests) and blue lighting to denote features on the runway itself.

What is the point of having it turn on during a daytime earthquake? I guess it would "look" better swinging around with the light on? Isn’t a streetlight supposed to already be on at night?

I think they do that so that the planes don't mistake the street as a runway.

It just turns on automatically when it detects that a quake is actually going on. Ryan – I wish it could give advanced warning!
