Reply To: LED vs BULB backlight ?

[F. B. Sedillo]

The Electroluminiscent backlight is very pleasant.

I personally like such color and the effect of illumination.
Unfortunately, from my own experience I know that such a backlight system gets a lot of power !!!

How does it work ? – When you press the EL button on your Watch, the light turns on for approximately 1.5 seconds before going back to dark.
Why so awhile ???
Exactly. Manufacturer – anticipated high power consumption – which is why so awhile.
But the manufacturer makes no mention of this in the manual ….

Such illumination e.g. Casio applied in :

1. DW-9051/2
2. GA-100A-9A
3. GW5600J
4. G-9200 Riseman
5. G-9100 Gulfman
6. G-9000MC-8D Mudman

LED backlight : such illumination is not so pleasant – but consumes little current and power !
Always still remains a small light bulb 🙂
