I get a metric ton of emails from LED manufacturing companies located all over the world. You know the ones – if you’ve ever done a search on Google for “lighting” or entered your email address into a subscription list, you’ve probably gotten spammed with something like this:
Dear Sir:
It has been long time for communication with you. at the beginning of 2010, we have launched some new led bulb and lightings.

Normally these come with some kind of PDF full of blatant copies of good brands like Martin’s Mac 2000, along with LED striplights, wall washers, and other inexpensive LED lighting. It’s been this way with manufacturers in this area for many years – when white LED manufacturing made its debut, companies bombarded the world with cheap quality and cost white LED products. When CFLs got huge, same thing.
Sometimes the products (and English translations) are absolutely ridiculous, and sometimes it is overwhelmingly hilarious. I just got one from a company (that I shall not name because they CONSTANTLY SPAM ME) that had a pretty funny product being advertised – an LED sign for the inside of your car that sends visual messages to the car behind you, up to and including the middle finger. Meet the “CAR Emotion Light”:
What a phenomenally hilarious idea. Note the middle finger icon that you can display in gleaming red LED light for your already late for dinner angry road raging Hummer driver you just cut off.
Epic win.
Haha! That is pretty clever. I actually heard a piece on NPR this week that said you can technically get away with giving a cop the bird, since it’s protected freedom of speech. I’m assuming that applies to electronically giving the bird too.
How can I get one of these emotion lights???
