Frank, Frank, Frank....

You know the saying about "None so blind as those who will not see?"

Pretty much every major manufacturer has an LED profile fixture that is 
functionally identical to an ellipsoidal reflector spotlight.  Don't 
take my word for it, watch ETC's ColorSource Spot in action.

LED technology is here to stay.  Young technicians and designers should 
get used to it now, because LEDs will be the dominant technology during 
their careers.  I just think it's not going to happen during my career.
