The would 'could' crops up quite a bit. I.e. this is a new technology which will be spun out, funded by venture capital for 5 years, then bought by a large Japanese chemical company.
Business as usual.

Traditional incandescent bulbs have a ‘colour rendering index’ rating of 100, because they match the hue of objects seen in natural daylight. However even ‘warm’ finish LED or florescent bulbs can only manage an index rating of 80 and most are far less.
Well that ain't true. If it was then why does my camera have a tungsten setting? And if you paint a model plane/train etc it's better to do it under daylight to get the colours right.

There's daylight and daylight I suppose. Do people still build manufacturing plant with 'Northlight' trusses or is that old hat these days?
