I am gonna make a few solitaire "easy mod's" to give to the family for christmas. i want to get some option's on what 5MM white raw LED's to use.
my last two have had NTE300045, and like them, i just wonder if some brighter ones are available. I am a novice at this so please bear with me on spec's, but the viewing angle is 12deg's and the Lv is 7500mcd after looking around on forum the Lv 7500mcd is the percieved brightness correct? i saw some at LED suppy with a 15 deg angle and I believe 9300mcd,
the reflector being small, i wanted a narrow throw. 12 and 15 seem's like a pretty negligeable diff, so I can live with that. Just guess i want as bright as possible.I know little about "brand's" other then Nichia, and super bright(who someone once posted weren't all that"super bright")after the surgeries and complication's i don't have a lot of $$ and thought since i have 4-5 more soli's, it would be kinda a cheap techy gift. now that i got the mod down and improved somewhat. thank cue!!!
