Views expressed here are strictly my own and no reflection on Cisco.<br>
<br>
Interesting thread and thoughts. I'm curious of your take on a few
things:<br>
<br>
1) Ergonomics - If user's can't see phone screen how can they read
documents?<br>
2) Power consumption from the green angle. More efficient to light
environment with phone or with a lighting appliance/fixture?<br>
3) Power delivery. Light on phone = more power consumption = bigger
switches or bigger power supplies in switches. Upgrade network
infrastructure to light the user desktop?<br>
4) Premium for 'Cisco Unified Desktop Lighting', CUDL, (not a real
product!) vs. wpr/facilities installing light or occasional user desk
lamp or USB light.<br>

could be wrong – but I think only the 65’s are
backlit in the 4x and 6x series (the color models). The datasheets on
the
42’s indicate backlit *<b>line keys</b>* but they don’t say (unless
I missed it) anything about the displays being backlit. Wish they did!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

agree though that a lack of backlight, while not the biggest
issue in the world, makes certain lighting situations very tough – even
in
moderately -lit offices if the lighting is not perfect there can be
some
frustrating shadows on the 60’s and 61’s </span><span

<p>I guess I haven't really had a need for a backlight on an install
before!
Now I haven't' looked too much into this yet, but how is everyone
dealing with
the lack of backlight on the 7940 and 7960?<o:p></o:p></p>
