light
Light or visible light is electromagnetic radiation within the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is perceived by the human eye. Visible light is usually defined as having wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nanometres (nm), between the infrared (with longer wavelengths) and the ultraviolet (with shorter wavelengths).In physics, the term "light" may refer more broadly to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength, whether visible or not. In this sense, gamma rays, X-rays, microwaves and radio waves are also light. The primary properties of light are intensity, propagation direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum and polarization. Its speed in a vacuum, 299 792 458 metres a second (m/s), is one of the fundamental constants of nature. Like all types of electromagnetic radiation, visible light propagates by massless elementary particles called photons that represents the quanta of electromagnetic field, and can be analyzed as both waves and particles. The study of light, known as optics, is an important research area in modern physics.
The main source of light on Earth is the Sun. Historically, another important source of light for humans has been fire, from ancient campfires to modern kerosene lamps. With the development of electric lights and power systems, electric lighting has effectively replaced firelight.

I have literally just received a text from a customer I tiled for. She requested a light grey colour grout so I went to Topps and asked about light grey. They sold me microflex smoke (which is a light grey). I applied it to the tiles in the bathroom which are a white metro tile. I also applied...
I am working on Mapei's lightweight adhesives offer and wondered what fixers thought of the light weights on the market.
Do you use them?
Do you see an advantage in using them?
Congratulations Brittish Fighter, Micheal Bigsby, your hard work and dedication paid off.

Anyone watch this...
Just had my kitchen floor tiled with 18" "star galaxy" granite floor tiles. The builder used 4mm spacers (which look a bit wide - is this normal for granite?) and "anthracite" coloured grout. The problem is, the grout has gone light grey and looks wrong. What could cause this & what (short of...
