Great for accent, task, and decorative lighting, the flexibility of strip lights allows for easy installation and efficient light distribution in homes and commercial spaces.

Commercial fixtures may require a higher wattage bulb. The most typical wattage used in household fixtures is 60w. Common residential fixtures, such as ceiling fans and overhead lights, are rated to work with a specific wattage. If you can't identify the wattage on the bulb you're replacing, check the fixture. ![]() Having the right shape, size, and base type ensures the bulb will screw into your fixture properly. ![]() Light bulbs feature different sizes and shapes, too. Look for even more commercial options, including emergency exit lighting, security lights, work lights, and more.Įxamine the bulb you're replacing for pertinent information, such as its brand name and wattage, to determine the requirements of the fixture.

Ridiculous Fishing EX hits Apple Arcade on July 14.Īlso coming to the service are “App Store Greats” versions of the brilliant deck-building roguelike Slay the Spire and immortal farm sim Stardew Valley. Along with the visual makeover, the new EX version adds a competitive mode with daily, weekly, and monthly challenges and leaderboards, and an “expanded and prestige-able” new game plus mode. It was famously plagued by clones before it had even been released, but Vlambeer succeeded in defeating the copycats and releasing one of the outright best games on mobile. Ridiculous Fishing is an enormously fun arcade game that involves plumbing the depths of the sea with improbable bait (such as a toaster), collecting as many fish as possible, hurling them into the sky, and then gunning them down. The team immediately realized that to do a proper take on the game for the modern day, we also wanted to bring aboard the creative powerhouses at KO_OP for their signature style of playfulness, to bring the game to life.” The two of us, Zach Gage, and Greg Wohlwend just couldn’t resist the opportunity of revisiting the game that catapulted our careers - and having an opportunity to approach the game anew without the catch of the clones, and with 10 years of development experience. “The both of us did collaborate on this, so we decided to keep it under the brand of Vlambeer, but we don’t expect more collaborations like this. But Ismail and Nijman did work together on EX along with their original Ridiculous Fishing collaborators, plus some new partners at Goodbye Volcano High studio KO_OP, he said. “Vlambeer remains closed,” Rami Ismail, who founded the studio with Jan Willem Nijman, told Polygon in a statement. According to Apple, it’s a “full and expanded remaster,” now in 3D, that’s been “built from the ground up by the original award-winning team.” This is something of a surprise, since Vlambeer’s founders closed the studio down in 2020. Headlining the month of updates is an all-new remaster of the App Store classic Ridiculous Fishing by Dutch iconoclasts Vlambeer ( Nuclear Throne, Super Crate Box). Apple’s Arcade subscription service can be quite hit-and-miss - or overly focused on casual gaming - but this July, a trio of all-time indie greats will be joining the Arcade roster, and might make dipping in worthwhile. We’ll mention how many shades each powder is available in, although this time around, having a small shade range isn’t a bad thing. They don’t add coverage, although they can be tinted to blend better into deeper skin tones. Actually Translucentįor a powder to truly count as translucent, it has to be invisible on the skin without changing the coverage or color of your foundation. ![]() These are the features we kept in mind when deciding which translucent powders deserve our recommendation. The most important feature? They’re colorless, so one translucent powder can be used across a wide range of skin tones without altering the color of makeup below. They often have a slight diffusing effect that makes the skin appear smoother. Translucent powders also take away shine from oily skin. If you want to go truly hardcore, you can even try “ baking” your makeup with translucent powder, which is a more intense setting technique. The main reason why you need translucent powder in your arsenal is to set cream makeup, which prevents it from smudging and amps up its longevity.

![]() Whether it’s for the office or a night on the town, your shirt should make a bold statement about you. ![]() Make a bold statement in our tops for women We particularly love how they’ve played with embroidery in this collection, with pops of colour adding some vibrancy. ![]() Summer’s here, and that means it’s time to get the shoulders out with cold shoulder tops. Fortunately, Soon has dominated this space, thanks to its fresh take on lace, stripes and metallic trim. Just check out our tie-dye hoodie, with its subtle take on colour and oversized fit. And they don’t compromise on style either. Hitting the gym (or just pretending you will but chilling out instead)? Either way, you probably want to do it in a hoodie.

You can pair them with skirts, trousers, shorts and even dresses, come rain or shine, winter or summer. Arguably the most essential of all the pieces in your wardrobe, the classic top is a real game changer for any outfit. ![]() If, like us, you want something a little bit different, then the ‘70s Thinline Tele delivers an incredibly wide, full sounding tone - all while keeping a bit of that Tele twang and bite. The Stratocaster provides all of the iconic Strat vibe and tone you’d expect from something significantly more expensive, and it feels solid, strong and durable, too. The Classic Vibe range from Squier is one of its best, offering a level of quality which is exceptionally close to that of a Mexican-made Fender, and for under $500/£400, we can’t think of a better range of guitar on which to start your guitar playing journey. ![]() Bridge and Neck Pickups, Position 3.For those with a bit more cash to splash - whether you’re an intermediate player or just someone starting with a bigger budget, then we’d recommend the Squier Classic Vibe ‘50s Stratocaster or the Classic Vibe ‘70s Thinline Telecaster.

I can’t say enough about how good this model is. Your kids will know that you trust them with a moderately expensive guitar and they will take learning seriously and feel pride in having a beautiful instrument. If you get your child a high-quality guitar, in the beginning, it will make learning to play that much easier. Yes, it is maybe a little pricey for a beginner guitar, but honestly, the Classic Vibe will have great resale value if your child or teen decides not to stick with learning, so the risk is minimal. If you are buying this as a gift for a beginner or for a teen who wants to learn, they will not be disappointed. If you are looking for something lightweight, this might not be the model for your child. Although one consideration on this instrument is the weight, it is perhaps a little on the heavy side for some people. I can’t think of anything negative to say about this guitar. There are no sharp frets, and it has a beautifully done maple neck. ![]() The quality of the Classic Vibe is excellent. The three saddle bridge is also vintage-style Tele with /brass barrel saddles. The tuners are the vintage style with a split shaft. The pickups are very good, although you should be aware that Butterscotch Blonde has a different pickup than the Vintage Blonde (Alnico 5 on Butterscotch Blonde/Alnico III on Vintage Blonde). Telecasters are known for a kind of twangy sound, and you can easily hear that on the Vibe. It stays in tune very well and has excellent intonation right out of the box (for the most part). This model sounds good for all types of music. The neck is nice and smooth, and the switches and knobs are easy to manipulate. The colors for the Vibe are a bit limited, with only Butterscotch Blonde and Vintage Blonde for the ’50s model or Sunburst if you get the Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Custom model. The Classic Vibe has vintage telecaster styling with a traditional single cutaway. Read More: How to Find the Best Electric Guitar for Your Child Appearance You would be hard-pressed to find anything wrong with the Classic Vibe, so if you want a serious instrument for your kid that will last for years, this is it. It is more expensive (around $400) than other beginner electric models that I recommend, but this is an excellent value for the money, and it is still considered a budget guitar. I would recommend the Classic Vibe for a beginner teen or older child ( age 11 +) who is very serious about learning to play. ![]() I applied it and looked like Casper the pissed off concealer ghost. I watched a girl that appeared to have a skin tone that was about three times darker than my own applying one of the shades I purchased and it look really natural on her. What I can’t figure out is how people on youTube are reviewing this and not looking like ghosts. I noticed that in promo images but thought nothing of it as I just figured the promo images were off but believe me the paleness of the shades is a real thing.

Not giving us the gore that we all hope for in a slasher. Not only are they too quick, but for a slasher, they are not gory or gruesome enough.įor a slasher, I was hoping for more extended deaths, but the camera quickly pans away. One of the main disappointments I found was the deaths. There is some good banter between them that does not feel stilted but it is not enough to make you care for the characters and the threat that looms over them.Ĭold Prey is a slasher movie, but there have been other films older that have really captured the essence of what you want in a horror film much better. There is no background for why they are skiing or how they became friends or anything other than there are two couples and a fifth wheel. Apart from their interpersonal dynamics, we don’t get a lot of history. The characters are not two dimensional as it can be in a lot of horror slasher movies, but I would have liked more background on them. But they never really expanded on that, just restated it again for us later on. We do have the scene at the beginning of the movie which shows a child that is running away in fear, and later learn that this is the kid that went missing. There are little hints scattered throughout but not enough to really capture your attention or build that much needed suspense. Not only do we have little backstory on the characters, but not much is known about the hotel. The plot of Cold Prey feels a little thin. Settling in for the night, it soon becomes apparent to some that they are not alone and that someone is stalking the halls looking for their next victim. And since then, the hotel has been left abandoned by the parents, obviously grieving their son. Then whilst exploring some old documents, they see that the owners of the establishment had lost their son. Whilst exploring the hotel, they find a room that has been burnt down, and odd noises keep happening in various parts of the large building. Due to this, the group has to take refuge in an old abandoned hotel as they are too far from their car or civilization, and soon it will be getting dark. Whilst on the slopes, one of the group suffers a bone cracking fall. Cold Prey (also known as Fritt Vilt) is rather a run of the mill slasher movie that is very low on plot depth as well as gory deaths.Ĭold Prey (directed by Roar Uthaug) follows a group of friends on a snowboarding vacation in Norway. ![]() Have an awesome idea that you don’t see on this list?
