'That does not appear to be their aim' [tm]


Their objectives are good. Just hard
to reach.
..
I could build what the specification asks for now, using COTS technology
components, if they only wanted a few, and cost and size were no object.
So could Philips, Osram, Cree, Nichia, Seoul Semi, Avago and a few more.
And in due course (1 to 3 years I guesstimate) they will meet spec at
commercially acceptable rate.

For me the least desirable part of the spec is the CCT (colour temperature)
which corresponds to Tungsten incandescent. I'd personally be very happy
with a device that met a daylight CCT (5xxx K).

CRI (colour rendering index) is intimately tied to tungsten equivalent
colour rendition and a daylight source is going to have lower CRI even if
it renders daylight colours impeccably.
