Battle: Dar es Salaam vs Nairobi

If you are familiar with the inverse square law, you’ll realize why most of that light diffuses the further you go, away form the source.

The stairwell is facing us but the light is diffusing inwards, therefore we cannot see any light since most of the light is diffusing inwards? 😂 If the stairwell is facing us then the source of light is directly at the facade that you are saying has the stairwell. If the building had no obstructions in the middle section, then people on the other facade are the ones who should not see any light since the source is further away from them. The stairwell is facing us so the source of light is directly facing us. You are just contradicting yourself. A stairwell is made up of the flight and the landing. Or you are saying that the stairwell is facing us but the landing and flight are also not facing us? 😂 Cause the landing and flights require to be lit up at night. So according to you, the stairwell is lit up, but with low intensity lighting, so low that it cannot be seen, despite the facade with the stairwell facing us.
 
The use of low-intensity lighting in stairways is a balanced decision that considers safety, energy consumption, aesthetic appeal, and regulatory compliance. Properly designed stairway lighting ensures that the steps are visible and safe to use while also fitting into the overall design and energy goals of the building. Unless there is a strong magnetic field or gravity, light doesn't bend around corners, only diffracts, and with low intensity there is little diffraction that could radiate at a greater distance..
 
Wacha story mingi, just explain to us how a stairwell is facing us and one cannot see any light. You said the stairwell is facing us.

So only steps of a stairwell are illuminated? Halafu landing inawachwa kwenye giza? Ama hii stariwell unasema is facing us doesn't have landings? Hii hapa example of a building with a stairwell that is "facing us". You can easily tell that it is a stairwell. Remember TPA tower is a commercial building and therefore has more traffic than residential buildings and therefore could even require more lighting at night. So the stairwell of the tower is facing us but the intensity is so low to minimize energy costs? Remember, the stairwell is allegedly facing us. So the lighting intensity on that stairwell is so low that ni giza tupu from bottom to top? Ata kama ni kuminimize energy costs and whatever all that you are saying to prove why we cannot see any light. The stairwell is facing us brother

Here is an example of a building with s stairwell facing us. You can easily tell it is a stairwell as all floors have light (and same intensity of light for that matter). According to your inverse square low, people on the other side of the building are the ones who would see less light/not see any light, as the source of light is further away from them than it is from us (That is assuming that the building is void in the middle and the light is travelling in a straight line.

I did not design that building and I'm not qualified to give any details, what I can tell you from my knowledge of physics is that, any design of a building, the placement of windows and other light sources can affect how light is distributed throughout the space, including the stairways.
 
You do not need to have designed the building to notice that there is no stairwell in that photo of that building. Everyone can see that. And if there is a stairwell there, then it is empty and the lights are off which further proves that your skyscraper is empty and has no users since nobody is using the stairwell.

Knowing that a stairwell has a landing and flight which are illuminated at night does not require any Physics knowledge. Therefore, if a stairwell is facing us, we would have seen the light on all floors. You said stairwells have low intensity lighting, I have no issue with that. But then you also want to tell us that it is so low that not even a glimmer of light can be noticed to distinguish that it is a stairwell? So low that it becomes total darkness?
 
Not all buildings are created equal, and you painting everything with one big broad brush makes me wonder what's the point of all this discussion. Every design is different, some stairways may intentionally have dimmer lighting to create a certain ambiance or drawing attention to other design elements, who knows what was in the mind of the architect?

So we don't force foreigners to be Kenyans. Actually in this photo I have only heard of Uhuru Kenyatta.

Sisi we don't worship foreigners and force them to be Kenyans.

Also do you know that top 20 richest people in Tanzania are all foreigners?

We don't force foreigners to be Kenyans then boooom! 😂😂😂

Your building is empty there is nothing like stairwell there. The lighting of the stairwell is so dim that inakuwa giza tupu? We wacha mchezo bana.



Who needs ambience in a commercial building? Lighting for the stairwell in such a building first should focus on safety, accessibility and security. Who cares about ambience in such a building? This is an office building not a restaurant bruv. imagine a stairwell of a commercial building lit up up with chandeliers and downlighters to provide ambience? And to add on that, the lighting is so dim that not even a glimmer of light can identify that that is a stairwell....in a commercial building. I really hope you are joking
 
Without much details we will keep going in circles. There are so many variables that could explain this phenomenon. It could be the aperture of the camera, the angle of inclination of the stairs, the angle at which the lights are mounted, I mean you could come up with all kinds of scenario. At the end of it, a dimmed lighting can affect the amount of radiation a luminous object projects, that's how nature works.

I just don't understand your obsession of those beautiful towers, so beautiful....as Trump would say.
 
Lamu hata punda zimeisusa
 
Funny 😂😂😂. Angle of inclination of the stairs? 😂Stairs are standardized in all buildings, refer to your local area building codes. You want to say the stairs of TPA are special/incline at a different angle? And for sure, the stairs in that building cannot be spiral. Even a poor quality camera could be able to pick out a stairwell if at all it was in that photo. At the end of the day you know that your building is empty and in total darkness.

"the angle at which the lights are mounted".

Which angle Chamoto? Could you mind explaining to us? 😂 The stairwell is facing us, but the angle at which the lights are mounted is so unique that all that we can see is total darkness? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
 
Wale mnaodai kwamba Uwanja wa Arusha ni expensive sijajua kama mnataka tujenge kiwanja Cha kipuuzi kama Talanta ambacho ni expensive twice ya Arusha au?

Jiridhisheni hapa Kwa gharama za viwanja 👇👇

Wamepigwa tena 😂😂😂😂😂 Naona Wizara imeweka gharama za kile kiwanja Cha Talanta kama Kobe Kwa bil.765 👇👇
 
Wakundustan watuoneshe hata meter 5 tu za concrete roads walizonazo 😂😂😂

Nchi nzima haina hata kilometer 1 ya concrete road halafu yapo hapa kujilinganisha na Tanzania kwenye infrastructure 😁😁😁

Kuna mnkundustan mmoja alienda Dar akasema BRT lanes zimepigwa rangi nyeupe akifikiri ni lami 😁😁

 
From the other two buildings, one could argue that the stairwell of the buildings are located on the circled areas. Not saying that that is where they are but could be a possibility. You can see that light is continuous vertically in all floors, apart maybe from a few which could have faulty lights. And also just as you said, the circled areas appear to have dimmer lights than the other areas of the building. You can also clearly tell that the buildings are not empty.

However, the other building is completely empty and nothing/minimal activity whatsoever. Ama unataka kusema that the camera aperture could capture the dim lighting on the circled areas of the other buildings but could not capture the stairwell lighting in TPA because light on the stairwell of TPA is diffusing inwards? No matter how dim the light is, we would have noticed.
 
.
We also told you that your building is empty and has no occupancy. You went ahead and said that this side facing us is a stairwell which has dim lighting that is why we cannot see light. Well, is the whole facade a stairwell with dim lighting? I'm imagining that this whole facade is only stairs, no offices/rooms on this side, just stairs with ambience lighting, since you claim that it is a stairwell with low intensity lighting. We cannot see any light on this facade since all the light is diffusing inwards due to the inverse square law and low intensity lighting
👍👍👍. According to Chamoto logic, this whole facade is a stairwell, only stairs with ambient lighting are on this facade. Anyway, let me wait for another Substandard explanation that could explains this.
