Tamworthbay Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 My nephew was given 6 months to live due to cancer 3 months ago, latest tests show it hasn’t spread as expected and he has 12 months + they think. Small change in the grand scale of things but a very welcome one all the same. wuvvum, iainrcz, myglaren and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No such largesse from Sainsbury's, which only goes as far as 103.9 in this area for basic 95. 20 minutes ago, wuvvum said: Also why is it almost impossible to get a decent photo of an LED display with a digital camera? LED displays often run through a strobing circuit. Too fast for the human eye (which only sees a full display as intended), but not quite quick enough for a digicam, which is quicker still.

The original idea behind this was to save power - firing small circuits rapidly in succession apparently uses less power than lighting all of them continuously.

wuvvum Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I thought the point of using LEDs in the first place is that they use very little power compared to incandescent bulbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, but you can take the inherent power-saving to even further extremes by strobing them. Also, the current generation of high-power LEDs can generate quite a bit of heat, so it makes sense to fire them momentarily rather than continuously.
