I received the LED prototypes in today. Red, Blue, and Superbright white. The superbright white is really just a wavelength of blue.
I can honestly say they are not any brighter than the incandescent bulbs. The good news is that the inverted lense actually disperses the light about the same as the incandescent bulb, thus doing away with problem that the LED lights are directional in natuure. I think that the size of the LED is the issue. I big LED will most definitely be brighter, but you run into size problems with the lamp base. It has only three advantages I can think of. 1. Last longer 2. Color choices 3. Will not fade and yellow over time. So... I don't think it is really worth going through the expense of importing some in from overseas. Sorry to get everyone's hopes up. I guess that's part of the experimentation process. I am still waiting to hear back about the halogen fog bulbs though. |
