Re:Is Conference Room Air Making Us Dumber? on Thursday May 09, 2019 @04:38AM (#19866434)
I did quite a lot of research trying to find the best CO2 sensor that would also do humidity/temperature. CaDi by nuwave* is what I settled on. An Irish company. I've been using it for a week now and it is working great! Things that surprised me: the difference it makes if I leave all the internal doors open in the apartment, not just the bedroom door. That even leaving one window open just a crack will help with ventilation. And of course how quickly a room with couple of people in it can go above 3000ppm CO2.

You can see the flicker of your light sources for yourself if you have a slow speed camera. iPhone 6s/SE/7 can record at 240FPS. Point that at your LEDs, fluorescents and incandescents. Try your computer screen as well. I did this half a year ago and can confirm. Cheap LEDs are really bad, some more expensive ones don't flicker at all. Cheap computer screens flicker as well. Whenever I find a light source that I don't like somehow but can't quite say why, I record it slowmo and usually it turns out it flickers.
