Article -- LED Me Not Into Temptation

Maybe someone has already cited this. Even in my LED ignorance, this article on LEDS is not so great, but the author did get one thing exactly right -- look at who is cited under "Other Resources" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif They call the resource, familiar to Candlepower Flashaholics "Amazing" and rightly so!

P.S. I hope this is the right place for this thread -- if not, feel free to relocate it moderators.

I'm sure Craig will be happy with that.

And well deserved.

Yaaaaay, Craig!!!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/clap.gif

Somebody emailed me this link a couple of days ago...I see they cropped and used one of my pictures too:



Look familiar?
This is a LEDTronics # L200CUV395-12D near-UV LED that I tested a couple of years back.

But I do like the text they put with my website's link. Amazing. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I ran into the link while looking at, of all things, news about PocketPCs. I went to http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/
and for their July 3 news they had a link to the IDFuel article with the description:
"If you've ever wondered how the LEDs (and, especially, that incredibly bright Bluetooth LED) in your Pocket PC works, look no further. This is a short but good read on LED technology as it currently stands."
Not really the most accurate description of the article, but as a member of CPF, I felt it my duty to investigate.

LED Museum's fame among PocketPC users has also increased!!



P.S. In the PocketPC thread about the article,

Hmm.. no mention of Luxeon LEDs.. now up to 5 watts, and damn bright!"
Also, there was a post by someone who needs to find CPF:
"anyone seen or find a place you can order actual lightbulb replacements based on led tech? (kind of like the "compact florescent lamp" designs)"
