Blatant \"marketing hype\"
Just thought I would share another case of blatant "marketing hype" with everyone regarding a 3 Luxeon Star LED dive light. Got an e-mail asking about this little critter:

3 x 3 watt Luxeon dive light. 4 AA batteries. 8 hours runitime (3 hours high, 3 hours med, 2 hours low). Note however, the output claim:
40 WATTS
Hmmmm..... Last time I checked, 3 x 3 Watt Luxeons = 9 Watts
Price? 269 Euro or 332 US$ OUCH!
Guess they had to come up with SOME way to justify that price tag. 40 Watts... yea, right.
