See those smiling twentysomethings up there? That, folks, is the kind
of happiness that can only be achieved with 150 glorious lux of LED
intensity. Fortunately, Siemens subsidiary Osram Opto Semiconductors
has packaged a new LED chip that capable of putting up such impressive
figures, a claimed 50 percent brighter than its predecessor -- and
that makes it capable of evenly illuminating a 90-centimeter area from
a distance of one meter away. Cameraphone flashes are an obvious
application, but pocket projectors are another obvious benefactor --
it's nearly impossible to eke enough light out of 'em, and this should
help. It's not clear whether a brighter pocket projector would have
the same positive effect on the demeanor of a bunch of stylish youths,
though -- more on that situation as we get it.
