LED lamps... the one thing I keep being annoyed about is the aspect of 
having three peaks of relative narrow spectrums rather than the normal 
continuous spectrum mainly being that of the temperature signature.

Anyone out there looking at the frequency spectrum of these low-energy 
lamps?

Colour response from few-spike lamps is not really the same than from 
continuous spectrums.

IKEA has a habit of giving all their products Swedish names for their 
products... worldwide. It's part of their trademark so to speak.
