Views expressed here are strictly my own and no reflection on Cisco.

Interesting thread and thoughts. I'm curious of your take on a few things:

1) Ergonomics - If user's can't see phone screen how can they read documents?
2) Power consumption from the green angle. More efficient to light environment with phone or with a lighting appliance/fixture?
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?
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.

I 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 *line keys* but they don’t say (unless I missed it) anything about the displays being backlit. Wish they did!

 

I 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 J

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?
