Lion Lights!

[GrooveRite]

Just came across an article on yahoo about a young African boy named Richard Turere who invented/discovered a clever system involving LED lights to deter Lions from killing his families live stock at night which seems to be a huge problem for most families there. Very interesting articles that have me thinking what possible LED lights/lighting systems can be advised to the region with most of us CPFers being knowledgable with LED lights :naughty:. I would think some slow strobing XML/XML2 emitters all around the Bomas for their floody goodness covering large areas the lions would stay away from. :cool:

Not sure is I placed this thread in the proper location so please forgive me. This is about LED lights so I figured it was the best place for it as opposed to the Cafe where its mainly about non-light related threads.

Thanks for sharing! I'd have to do a search on here but I believe someone brought it up last year when first word was announced of his plan. What an amazing feat though!

Well it looks like he was very successful with his idea that he was invited to the 2013 TED Conference for it! Absolutely amazing for sure what he did and what our LED lights are capable of doing!
