I have seen many technologies come and go, most promise more than they deliver, and this is why I seem to be continually lowering peoples irrational exuberance when it comes to all things LED.Now I love LEDS, they are great toys and I use them in rock and architectural areas.Now I am told that they are "going to be the future lights of theatre" and "if I saw them I would be convinced"But in areas of science you don't need to see everything as it can be measured.Instead of photometric data like you can get with any reputable theatre light manufacturer one gets emotive language like "pure and vibrant".I actually do scour the websites and look for these breakthroughs but what I see makes me giggle when it describes a wash or whatever.We actually do get the latest Martin and Pulsar gear out here and we have demo's where they shine the light in your face and say "isn't that bright"You never see an iris 4 or a source 4 light in there for comparison.So my plea is, "keep down the hyperbole and work within what is available now so that you don't raise expectations beyond what can be delivered.
