Directional light, английский
- A light illuminating a sector or very narrow angle and intended to mark a direction to be followed.
- A loose term for light that is not loose, and does not spill. hard light is directional, soft light can be made fairly directional with an eggcrate.
- Направленное освещение
- A light source that is attached to a frame but appears to illuminate all objects with equal intensity, as if it were at an infinite distance from the objects. directional light has orientation but no position, and it is commonly used to simulate distant light sources, such as the sun.
Pendant, английский
- A length of wire or rope secured at one end to a mast or spar and having a block or other fitting at the lower end. often used incorrectly when referring to a pennant (flag).
- Вымпел; шкентель
- See pennant.
- A strop or short piece of rope fixed on each side, under the shrouds, upon the heads of the main and fore masts, from which it hangs as low as the cat-harpings, having an iron thimble spliced into an eye at the lower end to receive the hooks of the main and fore tackles. there are besides many other pendants, single or double ropes, to the lower extremity of which is attached a block or tackle; such are the fish-pendant, stay-tackle-pendant, brace-pendant, yard-tackle-pendant, reef-tackle-pendant, &c., all of which are employed to transmit the efforts of their respective tackles to some distant object.—rudder-pendants. strong ropes made fast to a rudder by means of chains. their use is to prevent the loss of the rudder if by any accident it should get unshipped.
- [1] a line secured to a spar or bulkhead, having an eye or hook at the other end and used to secure something in place. [2] a pennant (mainly british).
