| se ut som bleka döden look dead Explanation: Perhaps. I am not sure if it fits the context, though, or what they intend to say. (Do they e.g. want to say that everything human looks dead _in comparison with_ those diods (because those diods look so great), or that the diods look so horrible that they _make_ everything human around also look horrible?) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2011-03-26 07:01:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also perhaps: se ut som bleka döden = pale away -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2011-03-26 07:05:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Seeing a similar text on the web page, I guess the meaning is negative and causative: the light of the LEDs is so weak and unattractive that it _makes_ human things also look unattractive. |
