[TenTec] CM47 blbs

[Bill Fuqua]

Speaking of white LEDs, years ago at another company we has a purchasing 
agent that had the "bright" idea of buying LEDs with clear lenses and we 
could put color lenses over then and get whatever color we wanted. This was 
when red LEDs were the only ones available. Naturally that did not work. 
But now I guess you can do that. The now white fluorescent LEDs could be 
covered with a colored lens and do the job. Guess he was just ahead of the 
times with his "bright" idea.
