    Easy to Understand Lumens Vs Lux Explanation

    So it looks like lux is variable as it varies with the object it is striking. The lux reflected off a mirror would be higher than from reflection off a black cloth. Whereas lumens is good indicator of how much light a light is giving out.

    Adjustable timer

    I would like to keep my soldering iron plugged in. Is their a circuit I can build where I can set the time from 10 minutes to 1 hr and then have the power shut down? Soldering iron is 30W.

    Bread board etc.

    What do I need in order to solder my parts for a project ? I looked up breadboard but not sure if that's what I need. Is there something I can use to insert resistors etc. and test my circuit before soldering?

    LiIon charger recommendations

    I am looking for recommendations for LiIon battery chargers. I mostly use 18650s, but would like to be able to charge most other types including LiPO. I also need one that is able to charge the batteries one at a time. I have read reviews but often get conflicting reports. Thanks.
