achievements: Well meant sensible Advise of Ellen, Annemarie and Alice: varying from "Be Careful, I'll help you" to a sincere "Dont!!!!" and a lot of insensible advises like "Consider a Cat-Pet or a Furby" eh, no, solly I wont. On the CatWalk, barely dressed, Bold Beagle, Cocker Spaniel, 施朱  Shih Zhu & King Charles Spaniël

 

Cocker Spaniel seems to fit best because she is well known for her ability to train sloppy masters. Shih Zhu's Xtreme Good Looks will melt everybodies heart but I am very jealous, any promiscuity will break my heart. Bold Beagle is Charming but that Sturdy she might upset Ellen from next door Jack Rusell Terriërs. From pictures I like King Charles best, but don't know anything yet about her character, enigmatic type, fascinating femme fatal. Have to control the proclivity to  engage all 4 of them.......  

Light No Armature

achievements: Lighting by invisible LED lights, The Non-dEsign is Under Construction, 

minor problem low voltage high amperage infrastructure in concrete walls & ceilings has to be solved, where do I store the converters? Wish could reduce HxWxT 2 zero. Main idea is composing White Light out of RedGreenBlue elements, Making Dings Better Phillips outrunned me with the beautiful remote-controlled "Living Colors" & although it does not fit my idea of “No Armature“ I bought one myself:-)) at least it is transparant....

October 29th: a) Yes! got one!!
Nimbus Modul Q36 LED.neXt
advised by and purchased from

The (Non)Armature is 12x12x1cm & transparant, practically there is No Armature, only Light! The converter fits into the ceiling junction box easily, assembling and mounting took 18 minutes without switching off the main supply pfff and YES There is Light, feel like Catweazle
Keeaagh! Shine, Tiny Sun, Shine!!!

Livingroom in the afternoon, & @ night from other side

b) Halogen Armature, still nice & small,
dim:12x12x5cm, Lumens: ?
but a bit outdated, High-Energy & -Temperature

c) Rainbow Armature , diameter 1200mm,
low-energy light bulb, Lumens:?
Sorry, can't hear you? Oh Yes, Yes it is an umbrella! Converted to light in a previous millenium ~1978 at costs of approx.5 Dutch Florins, and still functioning.

c )Living Colors by Phillips, remote controlled RGB-based low-energy light. approx. 1000x1000 colors possible, love it!

 achievements: Live.Space in development, mainly demolition of superfluous elements obstructing Light, should I tear down the roof? But also some serious pieces of joinery. Would be sensible to consult a professional DeSINGer, but I won't puh, I'll drop some drawings in contractor's offices, the first who claims he can fix it gets the job, don't spread the word grin;-p
