Lights on Pipes: Full Sunlight Trial

In order to remove any differences caused by uneven lighting, the three pipes were moved outside and exposed to full sunlight. The order of the pipes is the same as in the original trial. From left to right: painted white, painted black and wrapped in aluminized mylar. The day was quite warm, which is why the initial temperatures are significantly higher than in the original trial.
