In any case the point being made applies to, presumably, a modern solar cell. My calculator is more than 20 years old.
More than 20 years old? Then this proberbly applies even greater because its only with recent times that they're getting more efficient and using more of the spectrum.

Unless you can prove otherwise, stop denouncing scientific fact. The colour of the light DOES matter. It explains EXACTLY what is going on and why your calculator works less well with LE bulbs even though they're the same brightness. How can you just conclude otherwise going against physics, unless you happen to have proof.


It is a major factor, it is the single factor that explains why your calculator works differently under two bulbs (of the same brightness).

Ps. Your whole assumption that 'it has more energy so it must be brighter' would mean LE lightbulbs are actually brighter than normal ones so don't prove yourself wrong in the same thread.

Just accept science. For once.
