Re:totally flat?

[Rew190]

Doesn't "flat" refer to the curvature of a surface?

Correct link?

Nowhere on that page does it mention flat LEDs!

Imagine your light switch now has 3 knobs, ones for red green and blue, plus an intensity switch. You could set up some nice mood lighting using rgb values.

OOO yeah! And 802.11b for access from my PDA! And X10 so I can turn on my lights using my Garage opener...finally a use for the other two buttons on my sunvisor!

Um, it's a light. On, off and dim are pretty much the limit of what 99.999999% of the world wants. That other .000001% can't get laid and thus don't NEED mood lighting.

(I hope I didn't just make a 'foe' there)
