Lines: 18 Ok- now that blue LEDs are under control again... This past weekend I saw a product that had a very bright red LED lamp in it. The product literature reproduced (evidently) two of the charts from the data sheet- one showing spectral frequency vs relative output (peak @ 650 nm), the other showing luminosity vs. current - which was spec'ed at 3000 millicandellas at 20 ma. forward current. No other data was given. Physically, it was a T-1 package, nothing unusual. Now that is a very high-output LED. Does anyone know who makes such an item? The fellow representing the product said he had to import them- whatever that means. But he would not tell me who made them. Not being a whiz on opto stuff, I hereby submit the matter to the collective con- sciousness of the net. -- Ray Berry KB7HT Seattle Silicon Corp., 3075 112th Ave NE., Bellevue WA 98004 (206) 828 4422 UUCP:...!uw-beaver!tikal!ole!ray =============================================================
