Change a Light Day 2022

One thing my advancing age has brought with it is presbyopia.

Presbyopia is a typical part of aging where the gradual loss of your eyes' ability to focus on nearby objects becomes problematic, depending on how well you are accustomed to seeing.

It is said to begin somwhere around your early to mid-40s and continues to worsen until around age 65.

Being past the high boundary limit I have compensated with various spectacles which I wear often — and increasing the lighting in my work spaces in particular.
 

Today is Change A Light Day. It happens on the first Sunday of October so this year it falls on the second of October.

The observance is meant to raise awareness on light and energy saving techniques related to light bulbs.

I have taken to LED lamps myself. They put out more light and use less power.

I am particularly fond of the 8000 lumen BRAUN jobbies I have bought from Harbor Freight and installed strategically in my home.

When you turn on these lights it's difficult to miss anything. However their power limits their indoor usefulness. They really aren't for ambiance at all.

I hope that as you get on down the road of life you too can find effective solutions for life's little glitches — like presbyopia — along the way.

Change a Light and don't curse the darkness.
