how do you call a hose with lights inside?

it's usually called tube lighting

a regular light bulb \nas apposed to a floresent

Say away from H20 and LIGHT

check our pcdj.com they have a new lighting program for pc control with full dmx protocol\n\nits called " DMX"\n\nyou can program the lights to go with certain songs...etc,  its amazing!

Carefully chose what you want to use to keep the lights up.  Using cup hooks works well.  Screws also stay in for a long time.  Once you place all your hooks/nails/screws about every 3 feet, they should last for years.  This will make light hanging go quicker for the next several years.\n\nAlso, try not to let the lights drop onto the driveway or sidewalk.  Be sure the lights are all working BEFORE you put them up.  Nothing is worse than getting them all up, plugging them in, and finding out they don't work!\n\nBut, worse then finding out they don't work, is putting them up and then discovering that you put the wrong end by the outlet!

you can unscrew a lightbulb

Just use a garden hose.  Turn it on medium blast.  Works everytime.

Do you mean rheostat like the ones that control light levels? Those can be found at any good hardware store.

No -- more than likely, they just Pull out -- and if it is like most -- then you can purchase those tiny multi-color lights that have the little twin wires coming out of them for replacements.\n\nSo I would suggest you go to your local Discounter and look first in their Christmas Displays for a Mini-Light Puller -- and purchase it (shouldn't be more than a couple of dollars).  Use that mini light puller on the light itself (you will know it is mini lights if the light is sitting in a plastic base with what looks like a separation between the base and a plastic ring).  Then insert the puller so that it is lodged in the separation, and pull straight up.\n\nIF that works -- congrats, you have mini-lights in your Pre-Lit Christmas Tree.\n\nOtherwise, if it is a Fiber Optic Tree -- the procedure is pretty much the same -- but there will be a Halogen Bulb in the base that will screw apart (or sometimes pull apart too) and you will be able to replace that as well.

Picture a lamp close to a wall.  The lamp has a shade that is a cylinder, (shaped like a tin can with the top and bottom cut off).  The shade is parallel to the wall.  When the light is on, the shape of the light on the wall is a hyperbola.\n\nReally!

i=v/r\n\ni=current\nv=voltage\nr=resistance\n\nThink of it as a hose full of water. The current is the amount of water going through the hose. The voltage would be the pressure of the water, and the resistance would be the diameter and the length of the hose. So obviously if you have a huge pressure on a huge diameter hose, you are going to have a huge current. But if your resistance is very high, like say the hose is just a little straw, then even with alot of pressure the current will be pretty small. And same thing the other way around. If you have a really big pipe, then you only need a little pressure to move alot of water.\n\nElecricity works the same way, except that resistance is not so much the wire as is the appliance in the circuit. So you might say that a light bulb has a certain resistance that causes a certain current when hooked up to a 12 volt power source.

I think what you might be looking for is on Compfused.com\nThey had a tutorial about how 2 make little lights.\n\nOkay I found a site that tells you how 2 make led throwies(that is what they call them)\nGo 2 www.instructables.com they r right there.\nI understand this might not be what you r looking for but it might help:)

This gives a detailed explanation of how they work.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_light

BLOW A BALOON AND WRAP IT WITH WITH ROPE AND WIRE ALL AROUND SMEAR THE SURFACE WITH WHITE GLUE MADE OF PULPED PAPER (NEWS PAPER)... WHEN DRIED LIGHT A CIGARETTE AND DRILL LITTLE HOLES WITH IT. CUT A LARGER HOLE FOR THE BULB RIGHT ON THE PLACE YOU BLOWW THE BALOON. YOU CAN PAINT YOUR WORK WITH DIFFERENT COLORS.\n\nI AM AN AMEEERICAN LOL

Use the "Fn" key and the key that looks like a sun.  One is up and the other is down.

I would probably use Light Emiting Diodes connected to a low voltage dc source using very small gauge twin-lead wire.

I'd forget the light sensors, way more complicated than is needed. You would need to compare voltage levels in the receiver(for infra red) or use a schmitt trigger (for a LDR[Light dependant resistor]) and there is a simpler way. Pressure pad on the floor. Then just use a 4017 counter chip (It's CMOS and i'm not sure of the number, it's been 2 years since I did electronics)\n\nMind you, depends what it is for and how accurate it is needed. It won't be quite as accurate as a infra red sensor(which would probably be the best method)as people could step over it if it is not that big but even infra red will be confused if two people walk through the door side by side.\n\nThe only method I can think of that is foolproof(besides a computer, a camera and some recognition software) would be a guy with a counter, but not so practicle.
