Also, a single alkaline battery at 3v, if in the same form factor as a AA batter would have double the voltage, but half the capacity. You’d still want two batteries.

Essentially, 1.5v is a legacy voltage that we keep. Higher voltage, assuming same chemistry, would be at the expense of capacity, assuming the form factor stays the same.

Or simply put, watt-hours would be the same regardless.

I can say it helped me tremendously after like 3 sessions. I’m paraphrasing here but My therapist asked what was causing me grief and anxiety and I said my mom, she’s always talking about her money problems and always has even as I was a kid which is I think is the root my anxiety of going broke and is always so negative about everything. And that’s just not me, I can’t stand it.

My therapist said to me, you can set boundaries, you don’t have to spend time with people who make your feel this way, family included. You can sell the rental houses you own, which one my mom lived in for 400 bucks a month if they cause you to worry. He said, you deserve to be happy too.

It was incredibly eye opening

It really was an eye opener.

I mean it would, but it’s the main room of the house. The main socializing area. So it’s not preferred

I have shade on the inside. But heat obviously gets in. And while I could do it on the outside that would be a logistical nightmare and eliminate a lot of visible light

Can that be applied after install like in my case

What is the best option right now for a homeowner to reduce heat load coming from light while still maintaining as much visible light as possible? I have some huge windows that even in a utah winter have to be opened because the addition gets so hot. I’m the summer there are trees that help but the heat is pretty immense. My 3ton mini split can barely keep up and it’s only 600sqft or so.

windows it doesn’t help that they are pella casement windows from the mid 70s.
