Comment on Rohinni: Paper-thin LED lightingparent

Comments

I'd say they are rather extraordinary claims, given the differences between the Nth Degree prototypes and the Rohinni prototype shown on the website.

Nth Degree's product honestly looks far more plausible, given its unusual characteristics (speckled luminance distribution, blue cast, restriction to clearly separated strips). It's considerably harder to find Rohinni's compromise-free prototype credible, with its consistent, diffuse, apparently-broad-spectrum light. But that just makes it even harder to believe an accusation that they ordered a few Nth Degree strips and went to town with them.

I've only seen pictures, but it seems plausible to be able to take Nth degree strips and add some kind of thin diffusion film over the surface, to remove the speckled look. Certain materials can also absorb blue and re-radiate multi-spectrum light.
