BrooklynStart, The comparison with lasers are to show that diodes spotlight similar to lazers. They can move light very far when compared to fluorescents, or HID lamps. As an experiment you can shine a 80 watt LED light two blocks in the dark and still see it easily because of the spotlight similarities that lasers have. The light travels in light beams so much farther than HIDs or Fluorescents when using LEDS.
Spotlighting is the similarity that diodes and lasers have in common. However because of the different wider bandwidths of diodes they are not the same.. The spotlighting effect will burn leaves very easy and in the same way as a laser and that is the reason I commended., I hope that helps thank you for responding.
