Hello there,
shipinretech:
I dont quite understand what you meant by
pointing out page 23 or even the other page,
but i guess i should have mentioned some things
i liked about the products as well.
I have found that i would prefer pure white
light, but if i had a choice between a violet
tint and a green tint, i have to choose the
green tint (which Lumileds seems to be making
these days). The reason is i have found that
the greenish tint renders color coding
(such as used on resistors) a bit better
then the violet tint. Now this has been
deemed "puke green" and such by others, but
i have found it to be more useful for my own
applications.
What i dont like is that the new 5w not only
went down in lifetime hours, but also went
up in price. When they first hit Future,
they were $36 US. Now i think they are $45?
What's up with that?
Also, Future seems to be the only supplier for
the Lumileds LED's...whats up with that too?
Also on the plus side, i use my 1watt LS almost
EVERY SINGLE day for something or another,
and would never want to go back to a standard
flashlight bulb under any circumstances
LED's are still beating bulbs by a longshot
in my opinion.
If Lumileds could get the runtime of the 5w
produce up near the 1w product then i'd surely
buy into it. I just wonder what the color
of these guys are going to be... green, purple,
red, yellow, orange, or really close to white?
Good luck with your LED circuits, and your
LED color tints and runtime hours
Al
PS. Im still pro LED's
and i always will be.
