About LED indicators and tail-lights
Good Morning
Firstly, may I be excused for this blatant cross-post, however the
discussion that follows may be of interest to readers with regard to the
burgeoning use of Light Emitting Diodes in automotive applications that
spans the gamut of manufacturers...
The item I am going to detail has many other uses in addition to
tail-lights, courtesy lights, indicators et al, including but not limited
to traffic lights - see, this is on topic - IR illumination, industrial LED
signalling applications and many, many more.
Updates and further information may be obtained in other groups including
sci.engr.lighting.
Scenario: You want brake lights to double as tail-lights using the same LED
array, how do you do it?
http://www.geocities.com/ledaccelerator details a new invention that
provides a method to make otherwise dull LED's much brighter, allows LED's
to be used at two luminosity levels so making the ubiquitous LED a lot more
useful...And allows LED's to be overpowered without letting the smoke out
(blowing up).
The invention, or rights to it are for sale probably rendering this post as
an advertisement. In any case I will respond to responsible criticism.
Thank you for your indulgence.

No, you may most definitely not be excused. This is just more spam.

Yes, my point exactly, this is just another completely unnecessary and
utterly useless sales ad.

Oh dear, not this again! Peter has now infiltrated my favourite NG for my
favourite car! This makes me feel terrible as i am a Kiwi too and the whole
invention thing has been vented on the nz.tech NG to death.
Background: The processs of operating an led at above it's design
specification to force it into outputting MORE light than it should (and to
reduce its life) is already known using PWM (pulse width modulation)
techniques. Packaging this approach into a 3 terminal device to eventually
fry the led is convenient but why have a risk situation where the led will
suddenly fail? I give him points for chasing sales though...
Sorry Peter

Well, this explains quite a lot. He is a Kiwi, just like you. I live in
Scandinavia, on the opposite side of the globe, and I obviously understand
that it must be pretty exhausting all the time to live and breathe with your
feet up and your heads down. This of course creates a strong blood rush to
your heads, to make you dizzy and confused. Why you simply do not fall off
the face of the earth, is totally beyond me, anyway. Do you have magnetic
shoes of some kind, maybe? I once had a friend from Oz, and he was almost
flattened and squeezed by our strong gravity when he came up here, you know.
That is why I hesitate to go "down under". At least you are not from there.
A small comfort, I should think, but there are just a few centimetres from
your Kiwi Islands to Oz on my globe..................

Actually, I've had one array operating for four weeks now and not a single
failure. I just wish i had a camera so i could show you.

Gravity is a myth, Inger; the earth really sucks.
