** On the contrary - this NG is a not a stinking chat room.

Same goes for nearly all technically oriented NGs.

Moderated chat forums full of fools exist on the internet where you
can have some pathetic little graphic represent you and hide behind
an even more stupid name than " Poxy" ???

For ****'s sake - go join one NOW.

You utterly ridiculous

ARSEHOLE TROLL.

Hmm, you're becoming less coherent and rational as this thread continues.
You seem so incensed with rage that you haven't bothered to correct your
spelling mistake in your tediously re-written subject line.

Reading between the lines of your frantic yet impotent bleating, I'm happy
to accept your admission and leave it at that.

Oh, so ALL other non-technical groups ARE "stinking chat rooms" as you
put it?


** Not a logical conclusion.


I grew up on BBS's, where your real name was a must.

The internet is different, and the norm is anonymity.


** On technical NGs it is not the norm

- you lying, fucking ASS !!


BTW

Poxy = UK slang for " worthless " .

Tserkezis = Greek slang for fuckwit ??



You don't like it? YOU go to another group.


** No way.

Poxy pukes and dead head trolls are the ones to go.


.... groups such as aus.legal,


** Could hardly be a more technical topic than the law

- FUCKWIT

Anyone actually seen one of the new LED traffic lights with a bung LED
yet?
Can't say I've spotted a single one yet.

Dave.

yes, Hervey Bay in QLD has many faulty led traffic lights. Typically
the LEDS fail in groups of about 5 (hard to be precise from ground
level). Failures started happening within weeks of installation
(about 2004-5)

One set of the faulty LEDs flicker annoyingly

Odd. That's what you implied.
** On technical NGs it is not the norm

Ok, so you're the usenet police who controls who has anonymity and who doesn't?
Tserkezis = Greek slang for fuckwit ??

Actually, it was a name for the guerrilla warmongers in Greece some time back.

If that's OK with you, your majesty? We can't claim such high esteem of
having a name that goes back to our Australian convict history like yours.
Say hello to your thieving ancestors for me. No wait, they were pommies as
well, and you have clearly stated that pommies aren't your favourite race.

So you probably hate yourself a great deal I'm guessing?
** No way.
Poxy pukes and dead head trolls are the ones to go.

Oh goodie, then you'll be leaving because you are associated on both counts?
** Could hardly be a more technical topic than the law

More careful reading notes that you don't really know anything about the
law, and spend more time gasbagging about how everyone is is an arsehole.

Much like right here. From that, one could reason you know nothing at all,
about any subject. Sounds about right too.

The only failure mode I've seen with LEDs was O/C. And I don't remember
seeing more than two of those in my career.

I must be unlucky then, I've seen dozens, and far more low intensity.

I've seen plenty, not single LEDs or strings, but the whole lamp out. I suspect
it's probably the lamp power supply that died, but it will depend on the
manufacturer as there are several different types of lamps out there in NSW.
These died within a few weeks of service, so it may be systemic.

Can't wait to see what they do when it gets hot in the middle of Summer.

Ive seen plenty, entire lamp out.
Mainly goes out in hot weather and has to be repaired.
Seems like a power supply problem.
Lights most affected are the reds.
 
What really annoys me (apart from that teminally patronising
presenter!) is the readiness of the panel to endorse virtually
anything that appears on the show. To my knowledge, they have never
said "This is a load of %$#@ ! Forget it !!"

In this case, the total absence of any verifiable figures should have
precluded Higgins from the show instead of which he gets the prize for
the evening !

Dave

It would have been more interesting if James Moody were on the panel
that night, some more pertinent questions may have been asked.

I certainly agree. They seem to be short of people who have half a
clue about electrical or electronic devices - remember that Protex
device ? I don't recall whether it won the evening prize ?

Did anyone see the Solid State Lighting invention on the ABC New
Inventors program last Wednesday?

See http://www.abc.net.au/tv/newinventors/txt/s1969641.htm

... or watch the video:
http://www.abc.net.au/tv/newinvento...ogram=newinventors&pres=20070711_2000&story=1

I recall the "inventor" said he was involved in changing the wafer design !

Also did anyone notice the large difference in LED output, some looked
like they had been cooked,

Peak of 415mA is not unusual at the peak of the AC waveform, depending on
how many he had used,

But to call it an invention is just plain wrong, its an engineering
adpatation at best, and not a very good one at that !
