Illusion versus hallucination

According to wikipedia: "The term illusion refers to a specific form of sensory distortion. Unlike a hallucination, which is a distortion in the absence of a stimulus, an illusion describes a misinterpretation of a true sensation."

Thus, illusions can be shared by a group in the desert at twilight. Hallucinations are all in one person's mind. Illusions can even be PHOTOGRAPHED as was the case in the mass "flying saucer" viewings AND photographs.

I still think almost all these defects, even when photographed, are ILLUSIONS.

Turn the PW light up to 22 or 24 and leave it there for a few days. You will adjust to the higher light level and the "defects" will probably disappear. Leaving it high for just a moment will NOT have the proper effect.

The "white" screen on the PW at high PW light levels is also an illusion but benefits the reading experience.

By the way, the LED light is directed down to the bottom layers from the top layer. It does not project upwards to the user like an LCD screen. It is like having a built in lamp reflecting light off the fonts and background screen. The PW light is NOT a backlight. It is a down facing FRONT light.

Also, leave Page Refresh on all the time to prevent the ghosting illusion.

How we "feel" with the brighter light should be ignored at the beginning. One's eyes will adjust to the new light level and become comfortable in a few days.
