This seems too good to be true. If the seller had a higher rating I might consider it.

Light from a projector is 'focused' to a very specific distance (ie the silver screen surface). Closer or further away from that specific distance, the light is out of focus.
I understand what you are trying to say, however 'focus' is not the correct term to use. But yes these flat LEDS will have a different illumination pattern and direction than a standard halogen H4. But depending on the brightness, they would still be very functional. The position of the LED is not far off in Y axis compared to an H4, if at all ..... however If the LED was facing the reflector at say a 45° tilt (rearward) ..... the light projected would be a tad brighter. But not knowing the brightness or light divergence of these LED 'bulbs', it would be difficult to say how much of this speculation would manifest to a detrimental degree. |
