1. • Build-up of electrical charge in clouds

     • Like regular lightning, red lightning is caused by a build-up of electrical charge in clouds, but in this case the excess charge is released to the ionosphere — around 50 miles (81 kilometers) up — rather than to the ground.

   How was Reed lighting made?

   • This frugal method of lighting was the rush: a natural reed that grew, and continues to grow, wild in most areas of Britain. The “rush light” was made by first harvesting wild rushes, then drying them out and, finally, stripping them of their skin. This process would reveal the firm pith beneath that served as a rudimentary wick.

   How did the peasantry light their reeds?

   How are reed sculptures made?

   • These translucent sculptures are created from paper, wood, glue, and reed with embellishments of fiber, metal, stone and glass and lit from within using cool LED technology. Each one is absolutely one-of-a-kind and impossible to recreate. Reed has a life of its own when used in this way, and will often dictate to me the shape it wants to take on.

   How do reed switches work?

   • Depending on the reed switch type you are using (normally open, normally closed or change over), proximity to a magnetic field either opens or closes a small air gap between the two metal blades. In the simplest models, this is often achieved by moving a reed switch magnet closer to - or further away from - the glass envelope housing the reeds.

   What is a reed switch made of?

   • The contacts are sputtered with a microscopically thin layer of iridium, rhodium or ruthenium, a coating which is applied on top of an under-layer made from tungsten, copper or gold. Low-resistivity silver may also be used, and some reed switches utilise mercury. This additional layer is included for optimum electrical contact.

   Feb 15, 2024 · A red lightning is a form of electrical discharge in the upper atmosphere associated with thunderstorms. A wide electric field that gets generated by several lightning strokes ionizes the air high on top of the cloud. This then emits that light you can see in photos.

   The first step is choosing the wood for the base. I look for unique shapes, and decide very early on in the process whether this will be a free-standing sculpture or a wall-mounted one.

   I won’t spend a lot of time describing the wiring process, because it’s different for each sculpture and, frankly, I’ve never really taken pictures of this. I create a channel inside or on the back of the sculpture to hold the wiring. I add some sort of frame to the inside to hold the lighting in place. Generally, I use LED light strips because: 1....

   Once the wood is supported, either with a formed concrete base or with clamps or hooks to hold a wall-mounted style still, I add the wiring to what will become the inside of the sculpture. I then begin to attach the reed which will become the visible “skeleton” behind the papier-mâché. Finally, the first of many layers of papier-mâché is added to s...

   When I’ve finished with the papier-mâché I look critically at the sculpture with the lights off as well as on. Sometimes I feel that it needs some embellishment to make the unlit version more exciting. I add sections of color or texture that remain translucent but are interesting without being lit from behind. Here are two examples:

   Gertrude Jekyll photographed the equipment needed for making and using rushlights in Surrey, southern England, around 1900. Her information came from a 90-year-old "cottage friend" who peeled rushes for her, and explained how to dip bunches of a dozen or so at a time, "keeping 'em well under".
