    Can anyone pinpoint this LED? (household)

    Searched all over. You were right, doesn't get much better than that.

    I guess nobody really does much of this.

    Would like a few recommendations please.

    Now when you say optics, I'm assuming you're talking about just the lenses. I'm still a noob to all this. But on the subject of the quality of the LED itself, I was told that I shouldn't have any problems if I just stick with Cree brand. We've probably looked at a lot of the same thing, just...

    Would like a few recommendations please.

    Here's what I'm going to do. I want to make some very powerful "headlights" for my pontoon boat. Something in the range of 7500-9000 lumens output. I'll need 2 of them, one for each side, and they'll be mounted on the front facing forward. Technically they'll be "docking lights" since they're on...

    Looking to make my own headlight, but need help with LED

    Whoops, looks like I messed up and posted in the wrong forum. Now I feel all foolish and stuff. Yeah its going to be a "headlight" aka a docking light on a pontoon boat. Some of the seldom used docks I want to use, out in some lakes that are in no man's land, are pretty dark at night. And I like...

    Looking to make my own headlight, but need help with LED

    I've got pretty much everything else figured out, except the LED itself. I'll just make this quick. Can this LED ever be run off of 12v? I mean and give full light output. I'm looking for a 7500-10,000 lumens output LED. And I want to get the latest cree for max efficiency and the least heat...

    Can anyone pinpoint this LED? (household)

    When it comes to 1900 lumens incans, I was just going off the box I saw at home depot. Same type of bulb I had, so I assumed I needed close to a 1900 lumens LED to get the same light output. Maybe I'll try home depot instead of lowes. They're still expensive, too. I figured after all this time...

    Can anyone pinpoint this LED? (household)

    I'm looking for an LED bulb that will screw into existing outdoor fixtures. I'd like the light not too look too white or too blue. I'd really like it to look like an incandescent bulb would. It will be replacing 1900 lumens incan bulbs. It doesn't have to be exactly that lumens output, just...

    Which bulbs for an 87 chevy silverado?

    Hi all. I am converting my 1987 chevy silverado from the sealed 4x6" headlights units, to a headlight that will accept an H4 bulb. I have the 4-eyed truck that has four actual headlights in it. Two brights, and two dims. I have a couple of questions though. I think I will number them to help me...

    What is the general power savings of an LED?

    Thanks for the replies everyone, but I see a lot of seemingly unrelated posts here. I am just asking a very broad and general question, and as such I expected a broad and general answer. If you have a typical LED, and a typical incandescent, how much less power (in wattage) would the LED consume...

    What is the general power savings of an LED?

    So basically, the general rough estimate would be that an LED only requires about 10% of the power to output the same lumens that an incandescent does. And they last 10x longer. So how long until the gov't passes a law requiring only LED's for normal household use lol. I bet that could take a...

    What is the general power savings of an LED?

    For example, what if you had two lights. One was an LED, and one was a typical incandescent. They both put out 100 lumens of measurable light. What wattage is the LED going to be sucking down? And what wattage will the incandescent be using? In short, how much more efficient are LED's, than...

    Yellow LED anti bug?

    I live out in the country and bugs of great size like to come to my outdoor lights. Right by my front door. They are always in my face and I got tired of it so I got some of those yellow colored, outdoor lights. Well this really helped me out with the bugs. However, they consume more power...
