LED humor from Lightfair 2008

May 30, 2008

100,000 Hours of Life And Other LED Fairytales a seminar presented by Dr. John W. Curran gave great food for thought in regards to the hot trend of LEDs in the marketplace.  Aside from the well-thought out content of the course, there were also some very humorous LED fairytales.  We’d like to share a few of our favorites with you so, grab a seat, sit back and relax as you read through some of the almost familiar fairytales of LED’s…

Fairytales:

LEDs don’t generate heat:

Humpty LED sat on a wall
Raising its temperature unknown to all
Armies of optic and electrical men
Couldn’t get Humpty to light up again

LEDs will last 100,000 hours or more in normal use:

Twinkle, Twinkle LED
How I wonder what thee be
Up above the world so bright
But twenty years of constant light???

LEDs provide consistent color:

Mary had an LED
Its light was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
People said: “What’s that blue glow?”

Saving Energy = Saving Money

Hey diddle diddle,
The engineers fiddle,
Making LEDs light up the moon.
The accountants laugh to see such sport,
Knowing payback is none too soon.

John is the President of LED Transformations who has an excellent summary of LED basic technical information on his website.

Thanks John for an informative seminar and some really good laughs.
