I haven't seen that SC yet, but looking at the specs for that Osram unit one thing stands out - the CRI (Colour Rendering Index) quoted is 80, which makes for pretty horrible light compared to the better fluorescents.

I've seen quite a few O/C failures, although mine were confined to one particular type of bargraph display. I never saw any shorted LEDs. Then again, none of these were high current types.

I must be unlucky then, I've seen dozens, and far more low intensity.

It would have been more interesting if James Moody were on the panel that night, some more pertinent questions may have been asked.

I certainly agree. They seem to be short of people who have half a clue about electrical or electronic devices - remember that Protex device ? I don't recall whether it won the evening prize ?

No it didn't win that night (thank goodness). The winner was the Axle Tow Feeder

I recall the "inventor" said he was involved in changing the wafer design !
Also did anyone notice the large difference in LED output, some looked like they had been cooked,
Peak of 415mA is not unusual at the peak of the AC waveform, depending on how many he had used,
But to call it an invention is just plain wrong, its an engineering adpatation at best, and not a very good one at that !
