Food products that claim “Trans Fat Free” or “Zero Trans Fat,” actually contain 0.2 grams of trans fat or less per serving, which means it may still contain a trace amount of trans fat.Foods that contain trans fats include hard margarine, shortening, fast foods, and products made with partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. They are formed during a process called hydrogenation when a liquid oil is “transformed” into a solid fat. Trans fats are even worse for your body than saturated fat because they raise LDL (“lousy”) cholesterol and lower HDL (“healthy”) cholesterol, increasing your risk for heart disease. Use less butter, palm oil, and coconut oil.Choose lower fat products such as skim or 1% milk, partly skimmed cheese, and fat-free yogurt. ![]() Choose lean cuts of meat, skinless poultry, and trim visible fat off the meat before cooking.Saturated fat is found in meat and dairy products, as well as tropical oils like palm oil and coconut oil.

They also make motion sensors in the "stalk" format. That way the photo-control continues to get power 24x7, and it keeps its "memory".

I wasn't surprised when the sensor turned the lights on in broad daylight. I've installed a sensor on a north-side porch, so sheltered I needed a flashlight to work. Modern photo sensors have a memory, and "Learn" the day-vs-night brightness in their location, over several days and nights. ![]() For instance, you could install it in an electrical box inside near a window. you can install it where convenient - as long as it has a good view of an area whose lighting changes dramatically day to night. Since the stalk-type can screw into any 1/2" knockout, such as that on the side of a junction box. Nothing says you need the photo-sensor to be at the lamp.

This is a "stalk type" photo-control, and they are commodity items. If you look at most of the consumer grade photo-lights, you'll see a component that looks like this. The socket rotates, and the detector window should be aimed to the north. It's commonly found on street lights, HPS, mercury or MH barn lights, and their LED replacements. This "puck type" is a replaceable photo control which sits typically on top of the light. The same issue exists with dimmers, so "dimmable" can help.Īnother option is to rewire your fixture to use a 3-wire type. These control circuits may, or may not play well with 2-wire photo-controls, and may be designed specifically to do so. All need a special control circuit to keep current from being excessive.

This won't have any effect on an incandescent bulb. ![]() Incandescent bulbs have an interesting property: when they're not burning, they have very low resistance, and will flow current freely (this is called "inrush current"), That means if you're designing a photo-control, it's possible to skip the neutral wire, and have the photo-control power itself by leaking power through the bulb when it's off. It switches power to the lamp via the red wire. The photo-control powers itself 24x7 via the black and white wires. A perfect photo-control has 3 functioning wires: Always-hot (black), neutral (white), and "switched-hot" (red). ![]() |
