    Ultra low temperature lighting

    Does anyone know of any LED lighting that can be used at -50°C?  It seems most manufacturers only test down to -40°C.  We are currently using incandescent bulbs in our application, but the heat and electrical loads are pretty large.  I'm sure somebody in Alaska has used some for outdoor lighting...

    How do you sign off your email?

    I usually go with "thank you" but it seems silly when there's nothing to thank them for, like when I send them a file they asked me for.

    Silence button with timer

    Hey guys, please bear with me since I'm an ME trying to figure out circuits. I'm working on a control panel with a 24V alarm buzzer. The alarm buzzer needs to be silenced for 5-10 minutes at the press of a momentary switch. I looked into time delay relays, but it looks like those are opposite...

    What is your calculator of choice?

    I thought I would keep using the FX-115 after the PE since I had spent so much time with it, but I ended up going back to the trusty TI-83 I've had since 1995. I only use it for basic problems, but I like that I can see the last few inputs on the screen. What's yours?
