Also, isn't the phrase "What you don't know, and no one will tell you" oxymoronic? I suppose "what you don't know, and only I will tell you" doesn't have the same ring to it.
It's a cheap trick of appearing honest by using impossible hyperbole. The meaning of the statement is so obviously not equal to its literal meaning that if the writer is challenged over the honesty of it he could plausibly defend it by saying, "It feels like this fact is not being communicated sufficiently to consumers who are not familiar with LED lighting." In other words, it's a way to manufacture compelling copy without needing any facts to back it up.
