Now that *is* clever - holographic lighting?

Calling 'high power' LEDs high power for a start. And calling them white.

Well 1 Watt is high power relative to 1mW of standard LEDs that have been
around 30-40 years, and is common terminology in this field, so why would
you have a problem with it?


....and when did I call them white?... as I said earlier some posters just
seem to enjoy making pedantic statements and then clutching at straws to
back up their posts. Take time to read what I've posted rather than what you
think I have... another classic newsgroup affliction.

The possessive pronoun ' its' shouldn't have an apostrophe. The use of
pretentious words doesn't convey authority.
I was going to do an impression of a **** but you have beaten me to it.

Because it's simply adspeak. Most aren't particularly interested in the
type of lamp but what it does, when talking about domestic lighting.

I didn't say *you* did. But you asked for examples.

why don't I use a ASIC, I use a microcontroller so new software

Woohoo - *really* looking forward to spending my weekends flashing the
firmware on all the lightbulbs....

It is simply how they are refered to by anybody, from reseachers in the
field to the ad men you despise. I'm not aware of any other term in
common usage. As I said it is common terminology rather than ad speak.

I wasn't even aware you'd gone off on some tangent regarding adverts.

I don't think anybody takes ads as gospel as you say, and as I said
above I've no idea why you shot off on such a tangent.

Its a bit more than that, high power LEDs are a very differnt animal
to 5mm LEDs, its a differnce that consumers would benefit knowing the
differnce in.

...and when did I call them white?...

White as in having a near continuous spectrum through the visible
range, didn`t comment on quality of white which is a philosophical
discussion that also applies to all forms of discharge lighting.
