Shadows

[amtrakuk]

Just noticed tonight, using a 10 watt corn LED in the standard lamp in the corner of the room generates a very pronounced shadow, especially on the ceiling above the ceiling fan in the middle of the room, a standard 60 watt frosted Crompton GLS in the same standard lamp generates hardly any shadows. Any idea why?

LED are a sharper more concentrated light I`d say, Iv`e noticed the same with clear filament LED lamps.

I think your right... At a site the other day I was standing under a shit seizure inducing strobing Halogen GU10 replacement LED that gave the same affect. I concluded there is little or no "reflected light" bouncing off the walls, floor etc. Why isn't there any? I'm convinced under spec'd - there is not the brightness to cause the reflected light.
