JBL Combines Neodymium and Halogen in a JBL Reptile Spot HaloDym Radiation Lamp

Vivarium enthusiasts worldwide appreciate the brilliant color reproduction via the reduced yellow content of the neodymium radiation lamp, however are irritated by the short lifespan of the radiation lamp. The JBL research department wanted to solve this problem and found a baffling solution:

The filament (tungsten) of neodymium radiation lamp oscillates in its carriage so vehemently that it bursts. Attempts made at stabilizing the filaments with a further carriage has not shown improvement. Halogen burners in contrast do not have any filaments and are considerably more stable. JBL has now integrated halogen burners as a light source, the light of which however as to first pass through a neodymium-coated bulb.

In this way it became possible to combine the reliability of a halogen radiation lamp with the advantage of the neodymium coating. Energy savings of 30% are also a very strong argument since a 70 W HaloDym radiation lamp produces the same light output as a 100 W neodymium radiation lamp. The color temperature of 2700 °K is slightly lower (hence a warmer light) as the color temperature of the halogen radiation lamp. Its development of warmth is gladly used as a source of heat: from a distance of 100 cm it warms JBL ReptilSpot HaloDym a white-coated wooden panel to 24 °C.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
