Glassiled is a laminated glass with embedded monocolour Light Emitting Diodes(LED's) which are powered through a high performance invisible conductive coating. Glassiled is available with either standard LED's for decorative purposes or with extra high power LED's for lighting purposes. Light sources float on glass without any visible wiring on the glass surface, allowing you to take advantage of the full transparency and elegance of the glass. Glassiled can be used for signaling, decoration, illumination and even for lighting in monocolour applications. 1, record 1, English, - Glassiled

Quotient of the luminous flux incident on an infinitesimal element of a surface containing the point under consideration, by the area of that element. 3, record 3, English, - illuminance
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Illuminance (usually ’E’ in formulas) is the total amount of visible light illuminating (incident upon) a point on a surface from all directions above the surface. This "surface" can be a physical surface or an imaginary plane. Therefore illuminance is equivalent to irradiance weighted with the response curve of the human eye. 4, record 3, English, - illuminance
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Standard unit for illuminance is Lux(lx) which is lumens per square meter(lm/m²). There are several older units of illuminance : footcandle : 1 fc=10. 764 lx; phot : 1 ph=10 000 lx. Typical illuminance values are : 1 lx=full moon; 10 lx=street lighting; 100-1 000 lx=workspace lighting; 10 000 lx=surgery lighting; 100 000 lx=plain sunshine. 4, record 3, English, - illuminance

A method of detecting the possible absence of lustre on a coin. Tilt the coin in good lighting, and look for minute changes in the appearance of the lustre on both the obverse and the reverse. Especially around the likely points of first wear on the coin.
