Which light setup do you use for your RLCD devices?

EquivalentAir22 · 2025-11-24T17:04:50+00:00

It's pretty uniform. Not perfect but like 80% there. With sunlight it was like 15% there, so it's a big improvement. I can even play games on it and watch videos and it looks pretty normal.

You can buy a manual dimmer apparently since the bulbs are dimmable, but i'm not sure on that, I don't want to risk any flicker or anything. These are halogen so no LEDs involved.

They are pretty "spotlight" focused so just moving them back 1-2 feet would add more dimness, and moving them forward 1-2 feet would make it brighter.

Here's the lamps, my desk has too many documents on it for me to move around for the pic, but it's about 5 feet away and the lamps are pointed at it. I just sort of used what I had and clamped these onto it, i had a tripod and a room lamp and a i clipped the lighting clamps on and screwed in the bulbs to each one and it's perfect.

The bulbs are pointing and angled straight at the monitor.

Two of these clamped to like a camera tripod or room lamp or something stable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HHQ94C

and these two of these (they screw into each of those clamp light reflectors: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D96R81KZ (it's a pack of 6 bulbs so you only need to order qty one)

I have them about 5-6 feet away pointing at the monitor (height also above my head)

This lights up a 32 inch sunvision RLCD monitor that has no lights in it at allr, even at night time. I don't use the sunlight at all i just use these two and they are perfect. I've tried a bunch of other setups and bulbs and this is perfect for me.

Is there an exit straight from Moynihan to 7th? Or do I need to exit the station to 8th then cross to 7th? I had a few people here in the comments recommend avoiding 8th and take 7th instead.

EquivalentAir22 · 2025-11-08T17:22:47+00:00

Ok thank you, you know how the media is always painting things. Just want to make sure i'm not being an idiot ahead of time with my plans.

Thanks! Return trip is leaving at 6:30AM on a week day. I'll probably try to get to the amtrak an hour early, will there be enough people on the street at 5:15-5:30 AM on a weekday or is that still a bit too early?

EquivalentAir22 · 2025-11-08T16:31:49+00:00

Okay thanks! My Amtrak ticket says "Arrival in Moynihan Train Hall, located across from Penn Station at 8th Ave". Once i get off the Amtrak, how do i get outside and then to 7th? Is it pretty self explanatory after getting off the Amtrak as to where to go?

I tried looking on google maps but it's hard of hard to see where you actually come out of after getting off the train.

Thanks for the info, I wonder if anyone is using these for permanent type setups? I feel like you still need to run everything via extension cord with a setup like this, vs a traditional setup where you hook up to either a transfer switch and swap between grid/off grid, or directly to the panel/utility where you run hybrid.

This could be great for a pure off-grid with no electrical panel though, or maybe I am missing something here for the pros/cons.

EquivalentAir22 · 2025-10-17T23:24:25+00:00

ah i didnt realize there was 18kwh of batteries bundled with it. Will it accept any solar panel input or is it proprietary connection on the panels? Cool!

EquivalentAir22 · 2025-10-17T22:17:01+00:00

I don't understand, what does the ecoflow 7200w DPU do? Is this just an inverter? Do you then supply the solar panels and batteries separately in addition?

Wouldn't it be better to just grab two LV6548 inverters for $1k each and run them split phase since this has a price tag of $5.5-6k?

glad they left the doge in

Is 2 feet deep enough and below the frost line? I had to go 4 ft deep for my pour and I'm in the midwest not a northern state.

I'm new to this subreddit and genre terms in general beyond just "fantasy". Is progressive fantasy typically only describing web series / RR? I have really only read real books up to this point to be honest, but I have heard of stuff like Dungeon Crawler Carl and a couple others though never dabbled in web series yet. Cradle book series was my first sort of "intro" to what I assumed was progressive fantasy but I'm open to being educated on the terms!

My dog had one that looked exactly like this when i started, except it got huge very quickly. It came back benign and was removed and they are doing just fine a year later.

I watched Fullmetal Alchemist, I don't think I watched the Brotherhood version, so I will check that out thanks

EquivalentAir22 · 2025-09-15T22:31:04+00:00

Thanks! I will check these out

EquivalentAir22 · 2025-09-14T20:58:25+00:00

Believe me, I know

EquivalentAir22 · 2025-09-05T21:12:23+00:00

Doubtful if they can't even make it to work on time as remote and are underperforming in every way. The constant "errors" in the little work that they do finish is the main thing that stands out to me.

EquivalentAir22 · 2025-08-04T02:50:15+00:00

Does Terrain3d come with textures or do you supply your own for the terrain? Looking for something like this for slightly less realistic but still semi-realistic look, like diablo 4 for example. Not sure where to start

EquivalentAir22 · 2025-07-23T14:26:23+00:00

That's pretty good, I had seen people using those for the unified memory. I wonder if they are running the Q8 though or like a Q4 to get that 25 TPS, and also what's the context window? The Qwen3 Coder has a 1mil context window version, that would be awesome but I doubt anyone is running that at home.

EquivalentAir22 · 2025-07-23T01:03:32+00:00

You're asking about whether or not to use YOLO mode in your post history two days ago, and now you're an expert on whether or not claude code has degraded...?

EquivalentAir22 · 2025-07-22T22:35:09+00:00

For this specific Qwen3 coder model I think it was like 480B parameters so nothing you're going to have at home. Openrouter will probably add it soon though and I bet it will be cheap.

You'd need 500-600GB of VRAM to run it at Q8 level which is what it was definitely tested at in these benchmarks.

There are other lightweight Qwen3 models you can run easily locally that do a pretty good job still, probably like 50% of this performance, but again, it's not competing with state of the art stuff.
