Thanks all for replies, however maybe some misunderstandings.
All have offered OPERATIONAL thoughts, I'm asking if anyone can advise WHERE:
- the alleged 235 kts limit because of LED's can be sourced;
- why, in simple terms it appears there's a "phantom" 235kt limitation on departure but, in theory, 250 kts for flap extensions 1,2,5 on approach are OK.

Thanks, but your first statement is that you "don't use VNAV" and bug up manually.
That's fine - but my question was related to VNAV which for myself has been SOP on the NG for the last 10 years.
My question regards APP (approach) well read again please, I follow the FCTM but the question was, IN THEORY you could select flaps at 250kts.
I am not asking about personal operational philosophy - just asking why there appears "hidden" speed limitations which (apparently) also vary whether on T/O or on APP.
If anyone can assist appreciated - just one of those "bugging me" things.
Cheers
