Transcript: S.M.A.S.H.D. Stage One: Goals: Find information on how the Christmas lights negatively affect our community Articulate research that will support our claim and movement Resources: Send out invitations Recruit Fellow citizens (locals) Make meet ups to bring out propositions forward and get our movement out there Volunteers Surveys Create a team Social Media Budget Recruiters Management Stage Two: Goals: Make the public aware The (positive)outcome of our cause Putting out all of our supportive and found evidence Resources Statistics Surveys Online surveys Flyers Small Rallies Speeches Stage Three: Challenges: Getting the community to understand the changes occurring Bringing numerical and statistical awareness to all Resources: Research team Bar graph Pi charts Newspapers Article Documentation Existing victims and confessions/ personal Statements Stage Four: Goals: Direct attention to current issue that might occur during the time frame of Christmas and after like…. Christmas fires Electrical spending Increase in pollution Pose as powerful Have enough supporters Resources: Make a Facebook pages, Snapchat, Instagram, and twitter, and MySpace to connect with the virtual community Make a hash tag and allow it to go viral Post pictures of events and Stage Six: Challenges: Letting the people keep up with the issue this far down the road Keeping the issue alive Losing followers/supporters Resources: Fundraiser Find an area to turn into headquarters Higher staff Establish a permanence in the community by Making a websites annual meeting advertisements Stage Seven: Goals: Get reforms supporting our issue Have recognition Get our followers and staff to acknowledge the success Challenges: Having the activist accept success Having the power holder accept defeat Getting a long term community established “A 2008 study for the U.S. Department of Energy found festive holiday lights consume 6.63 billion kilowatt hours of electricity every year.” "This isn't just a waste of energy, further taxing the environment. It's also contributing to a growing problem in the U.S.: light pollution." -Christmas Lights Are Ruining Your Health and the Environment by Naomi Shavin "The peak months for home fires that cause casualties are December through February" - ESFI "On average, 260 home fires begin with Christmas trees each year, resulting in 12 deaths, 24 injuries and $18.3 million in property damage" - ESFI Why You Should Join Us?

Why did we begin this movement? It's lit fam Action Plan A part of our plan is to limit the timeframe in which people can have their decorations, lights, and trees out. This unfortunate Incident occured on January 20th, which is more than 10 days after out intended timeframe. If our legislature had been put into law earlier, this family would not have died. How Dangerous are the decorations? Mo' lights Mo' problems http://viewpure.com/t_eHBqVYa8A?ref=bkmk As we see from the video, the tree is extremely flammable, and once the fire starts, it will be impossible to stop. It is so fast that some children may not be able to evacuate in time, which may lead to a death. How Could You Have Prevented This? It is in your best interest. We can work together to combat these dangerous decorations. Not only can they set a home aflame in seconds, but Holiday lights can also put you at risk of very negative effects from light pollution. Not to mention, with too many Holiday lights around, you won't be able to see the stars. The Synergistic Movement Against Surfeit Home Decorations On January 20th 2015, a Christmas tree surrounded by lights and decorations set aflame. This burned down a 16,000 square foot home valued at $9 million. Not only that, it killed 6 people, the couple that owned the home, and 4 grandchildren. Statistics

Transcript: The crude method involves the installation of a special blinker bulb at any position in the strand. Power of the Bulb There are two different techniques that are used to create blinking lights. One is crude and the other is sophisticated. You can still find strands of these bulbs today, but they aren't very common anymore for three reasons: They consume a lot of power. If you have a strand of 50 5-watt bulbs, the strand consumes 250 watts! Consider that most people need two or three strands to do a tree and five or 10 strands to do a house and you are talking about a lot of power! Because the bulbs consume so much power, they generate a lot of heat. When used indoors, three strands at 250 watts per strand are generating as much heat as a 750-watt space heater! The heat from the individual bulbs can also melt things. They are expensive. You can buy a 10-pack of miniature bulbs for about a dollar this year. The large bulbs might cost five to 10 times more. Christmas Lights by: Chrsitin Keller Mini flashlight The more sophisticated light sets now come with 16-function controllers that can run the lights in all sorts of interesting patterns. You can have two, 20 or 200 bulbs in a strand that is wired in parallel. The only limit is the amount of current that the two wires can carry. If you hook a mini-light bulb up to a normal AA battery, the bulb will light just like a flashlight bulb. It will be dim, however, because the bulb expects 2.5 volts rather than the 1.5 volts the battery is generating. You can put two batteries together to create 3 volts, or you can hook the bulb up to a 9-volt battery as shown here. Because you are driving the bulb at a significantly higher voltage than it expects, it will burn extremely brightly and will not last very long (perhaps 30 minutes or an hour). The impact of bulb failure 30 to 40 years ago people mostly used 120 volt incandescent bulbs. Each bulb was a 5- or 10-watt bulb like the bulb you find in a night light. The one advantage of this arrangement is that a bulb failure has absolutely no impact on the rest of the bulbs. That's because a 120-volt bulb system places the bulbs in parallel, like this: History Blinking Lights

Transcript: Difficult to store They get tangled very easily, and most of the time the user breaks lights accidently trying to untangle them. What difficulties could this cause for the user? No extension cords No need for exterior electrical outlets Withstand cold temperatures and precipitation Zero cost to operate Light output comparable to plug-in lighting Green option Easier to put up because you can place them anywhere. And.... to take down What is the problem with the current design? Christmas Lights! They burn faster. You might need to replace bulbs more frequently over the holidays because standard lights are not designed to last a long time. When one bulb breaks sometimes all the bulbs from that point on do not work. Sometimes a hassle to put up! Solar Panel Christmas Lights! Get a power cord holder. These are available at most hardware store. There are several different kinds. You'll want a larger one designed for heavy outdoor electrical cords. More Issues Difficulty bringing the lights out and storing them away every season. High electricity bills if a user is not using LED lights. Constantly having to replace bulbs that might go out individually. How would you fix these problem if you were to redesign the product? Pros Solar Panel Christmas lights! 100-light string of miniature solar-powered LED lights costs about $20 to $40. A 100-light string of miniature plug-in LED lights costs about $20 to $46. The cost of the two is not different Although it may seem like you have saved some cash on traditional lights, you are actually negating your savings by purchasing replacements. Incandescent Christmas lights consume more energy. Every additional kilowatt hour your Christmas lights burn add to your electricity bill. Storing them! Christmas is a happy season. Of course, no Christmas would ever be complete without festive Christmas lights! Christmas lights have been around for a long time, making the atmosphere inside and outside the home warm and merry. Traditional lights have been used for decades and are still used today More Issues! Christmas Lights!

Transcript: Christmas Lights Today we expect to see the holiday season become aglow with electric strands of light. Think of the variety and range of Christmas lights available in today’s market. We can be grateful to Thomas Edison, Edward H. Johnson and Albert Sadacca for illuminating our holiday season. What Are Christmas Lights? Christmas Lights Today By Andre Price-Quintner Thomas Edison, the inventor of the first successful practical light bulb, created the very first strand of electric lights. During the Christmas season of 1880, these strands were strung around the outside of his Menlo Park Laboratory. Railroad passengers traveling by the laboratory got their first look at an electrical light display. Edward H. Johnson put the very first string of electric Christmas tree lights together in 1882. Johnson, Edison’s friend and partner in the Edison’s Illumination Company, hand-wired 80 red, white and blue light bulbs and wound them around his Christmas tree. Not only was the tree illuminated with electricity, it also revolved. While Thomas Edison and Edward H. Johnson may have been the first to create electric strands of light in 1880/1882, it was Albert Sadacca who saw a future in selling electric Christmas lights. The Sadacca family owned a novelty lighting company and in 1917 Albert, a teenager at the time, suggested that its store offer brightly colored strands of Christmas lights to the public. By the 1920’s Albert and his brothers organized the National Outfit Manufacturers Association (NOMA), a trade association. NOMA soon became NOMA Electric Co., with its members cornering the Christmas light market until the 1960’s. Thanks for watching Christmas lights are lights used for decoration around Christmas. The custom harks back to the use of candles to decorate the Christmas tree in upper-class homes in 18th-century Germany. Christmas trees displayed publicly and illuminated with electric lights became popular in the early 20th century. By the mid-20th century, it became customary to display strings of electric lights as Christmas decoration detached from the Christmas tree itself, along streets and buildings. In the United States, it became popular to outline private homes with such Christmas lights in tract housing beginning in the 1960s. By the late 20th century, the custom had also been adopted in non-western countries, notably in Japan. When They Were Invented Template by Missing Link Images from Shutterstock.com
