A message from our company

[danefex]

I'm with everyone who thinks this is wise & notable... Good advice is good advice, who cares where it comes from?

I would agree with not using the name "Casio diodes". I never refer to it as that. Casio didn't make them, some china company sold them to casio. I just say "1W blue" since we all know what diode that is...

This post is so obviously fake its hilarious. If C@$!0 was really concerned they would contact Avery not sign up for the forum and write up an inappropriate message. Not to mention such a message is an admittance to knowing full well what people are doing with these diodes and just saying "Dont call them C@$!0". Which is a bad legal strategy.

This is most definitely not C@$!0 but rather a newbie who was reading about the controversy and thought it would be fun or a member who thinks changing the name is the solution and is trying to strong arm it onto the forum. The use of a proxy suggests its a member who knows that multiple accounts on the same IP are easy to trace.

I think that not calling the diodes by the name of the company that buys them from the manufacturer is probably a good thing. If you buy a ford and pull the tires off you dont go around calling them ford tires. But this message should be disregarded if not deleted as it is attracting even more attention and im sure C@$!0 doesnt want anyone speaking on their behalf.

i think this thread should be closed before the message of the OP get dilluted.

Great question.. I would think that simply using the A1XX designation would suffice, since that designation doesn't say the projector manufacturer's name.

But so, they can argue that also "A1XX" is a Casio trademark brand, cause it's part of the model names .....

Why not simply 445nm LDs ? (as they are, after all )

So what does everybody think of that? Should we just refer to them as A130, A140 and such? No need for nichia 445nm?

I think it should be deleted before the company that already doesnt like what were doing finds out were masquerading around making claims under its name own.

Because the 130 and 140 diodes are different.

because a130 and a140 are slightly different in performance and in price. How would you tell them apart?

That is not what I was asking. Perhaps you meant to answer HIMNL9?


So before the thread gets closed lets decide what we should call them to distinguish between different versions.

Oops yep.

I think think the a130, and a140 names work perfectly fine.

then refer to them as their lumen arrayed lumen rating 2500 or 3000.

That is a possible idea. Something like Nichia 445nm 2500 diode or Nichia 445nm 3000 diode. This way we can avoid using catalog number and sever almost all ties with the company. But people may confuse this number with mW especially the newcomers

A lot of people know the difference between a 140 and a 130. Till 30 seconds ago I had no idea of their respective lumen outputs.

 

[gillza]

^^ if you try googling 445 a130 or a140... company's name comes up beside the catalog number several times and that may be a problem. But I agree the lumen rating may be a bit confusing, but because of that harder to associate with the company

Really shouldn't ever refer to them as anything else.

The A140 designation tells us everything we need to know about the Diode.

Casio Diode - Gives us none of the critical information, this description is not accurate nor helpful, no reason to ever use this. First of all it's not a casio diode, and secondly Casio uses many different diodes and this statement does not identify which one you are referring to.

A140 is a descriptive term that automatically classifies the diode into a given performance category. Also while I can certainly see why using the term "Casio" may be an issue for them, I see no reason at all why using the term "A140" would be. First of all that doesn't tell anyone which company is providing the diode unless they already know to begin with. And secondly that is actually an accurate descriptive term of the product telling buyers which projector it was extracted from.

It is easier to link catalog number to the company. Try googling 445nm A140 and see with how many company references you come up with. I'm just wondering if even the usage of catalog number may bring problems later down the road.
