LED forest installation illuminates the night sky

By Amir Iliaifar November 30, 2011

No, you’re not gazing upon a real life recreation of Pandora from James Cameron’s epic blockbuster Avatar. Instead, you’re looking at the work of artist Bruce Munro’s spectacular LED, fiber optic, and projector light art installation.

Located at the Holbourne Museum in Bath, England, Munro’s illuminating Field of Light garden exhibit includes over 5,000 frosted acrylic orbs that connect through a series of fiber optic cables to a color-scrolling projector. Each night the museum exhibit is lit from 4-7pm, and while the bulk of the exhibit takes shape outside, the interior of the museum has also been decorated with a few patches of acrylic stems for onlookers to admire.

The installation features a wide array of fluorescent lights that alternate and shift in mass clusters, lighting up the surrounding park. It’s a really spectacular exhibit that shouldn’t be missed. It’s sure to light up your eyes, as well as your spirits this holiday season.

How to save Ring Doorbell video without a subscription

Ring Doorbell mounted outside a front door.

Take a walk through any neighborhood, and you're bound to see a few Ring video doorbells installed next to front doors. The brand is increasingly popular, thanks to an ever-growing product lineup that makes it easy to find a device for all budgets and security needs. But one of the peskier features of Ring is the need for a Ring Protect Plan -- a monthly subscription service that unlocks the majority of the camera's most useful features.

One such feature locked behind a Ring Protect Plan membership is the ability to save Ring doorbell videos. Without a plan, you'll really only be allowed to view a live feed of your video doorbell. The plans are pretty generous, with the Basic plan costing $5 per month and offering video history for up to 180 days, making it a worthwhile investment for homes worried about their security.
