    What's the best car headlight???

    So you just elected to put a incredibly bright lamp in very glarey reflector housings... which will blind anyone unfortunate enough to share the road with you? Grand.

    Has anyone used Lux3 1157 taillight from superbrightled.com?

    I'm using them on my E36. I've got citylights wired in, so I've got a piece of electrical tape over the low wattage pin on the base. Basically converting them to 1156's. The difference between low and bright isn't staggering, and they'll not shine behind them to the reflector back. I'd only...

    What's the best car headlight???

    xtravision put out more lumens than any other of the same wattage. silverstars put out the prettiest color available within a group of the same wattage range, though significantly less lumen output due to the filter. your best bet for total output would be a projector retrofit with HID. but...

    LED Conversion in Tail Light,Problems 7-6-06

    Re: LED Conversion in Tail Light, Updated ?'s SuperFlux? I think 6 Lux III red-orange's would be blinding and irresponsible. I'm not trying to be mean or insulting, I'm just concerned for those that share the road with you. Consider using a total of 4. Even four will be significantly...

    110V LED Bulb - BatterySpace Bulb Quality Problem?

    I've noticed that there is a huge gap in the prices for crap LED bulbs versus quality ones. Crap ones go for 5-10 dollars, whereas quality ones are 30 and up. Quality ones are usually pretty directional, and have sizable heatsinks.

    What's the best LED light for Self-Defense

    3D Mag with a drop-in is pretty effective. blind, then club, then saunter home while your attacker lies unconscious.

    LED low-beam headlights have arrived.

    Of course it's possible to have more than one light source per optic. You just have to plot out where the light is going to go beforehand. IE: two elements : and one lens () with two projections < : () < you could easily have two or three (or more) LED's per optic, depending on the...

    Indeed. You probably blind all the poor sedan-driving sods as well.

    LED low-beam headlights have arrived.

    Let's round up to 25 Lux3's. Okay.... So you'd need a 2" high by 1' long strip for each side for the low beams. That's not even counting optics. Also, do you think that an array of 25 luxeons with 1 cubic inch optics will be able to throw as far as the standard ~8" wide parabolic...

    LED low-beam headlights have arrived.

    Not possible, I'm afraid. Current headlamp reflectors are designed for a filament that is visible from more angles than a heatsinked LED can be. Drop-in LED replacement headlamp bulbs are, I think, not going to happen.
