    Is It Possible To Create An Ambient Light With LEDs?

    All » Thusfar, I've received some excellent information. However, it's still not quite what I'm looking for. Maybe the best way to approach this is just to setup the situation and maybe we can get some more definite answers. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish. I'd like to mount 1 or 2 LED...

    Is It Possible To Create An Ambient Light With LEDs?

    2xTrinity » "Looks like you're mostly familiar with 5mm LEDs ..." Yes, very true. Those are actually the only kind I knew existed until I read your post. What other types are there? The goal of my quest is to locate a flash-light (preferably LED) that can produce a high-powered beam and can hold...

    How Do You Measure The Brightness of An LED?

    Marduke » Thank you for your straight-forward response to my question. Yoda4561 » Your post was very informative. In response to your well written post I have an additional question. Taking that practical limits of the LED (not theoretical) how does that stand up to the incandescent light-bulb...

    Is It Possible To Create An Ambient Light With LEDs?

    WadeF » Those pictures of the H-30 are quite impressive if I do say so myself! What a difference between that and the H-50! How long is the battery life on both of them. I didn't bother to look at the text much. :)

    Is It Possible To Create An Ambient Light With LEDs?

    I'm a bit new to the terminology and components. I'm assuming you're referring to something that akin to a mirror or some such mechanism that reflects light and thereby amplifies it's power. What do you mean by "no reflector"?

    How Do You Measure The Brightness of An LED?

    What is the electrical limit of an LED as far as lumens go. For example, if you pump so much ma's into and set of LEDs, will they "explode"? :D In other words, does the amount of lumens have some bearing on wear and tear. Can you wear down an LED faster by pumping more electrical current into...

    Is It Possible To Create An Ambient Light With LEDs?

    I've been looking for a wide-angle flashlight that can create an "ambient" light source. It would have to produce light at a 45 degree angle (more if possible). Once of the drawbacks of LEDs is that they create "spots" of light instead of a radiant light source like that of an incandescent...

    How Do You Measure The Brightness of An LED?

    Interesting terminology. Are there specific ratings for specific types of LEDs. For example Brand A LED is rated at so many lumens.
