LED Vs. Bulbs in indicators

[nutt3r]

Good point, they look bright enough at night, less blinding.... but how do they look at daytime.

[biggurs]

LED are simply not bright enough. I have error free CANBUS 27 LED indicators and in daylight its not very bright and almost dangerous... other road users may not realise you are indicating.

What is the LED wattage, or number of LED inside?

[HonestJack]

@pangcp77 Jeez, I can't remember fella, I loaded this 3 years ago. I think there would have been about 12 LEDs on the cluster, replacing a 21w filament bulb. I don't know the current draw of the LEDs.

Wer can I get this from mate? Thanks

[SuPerPePsi87]

hello mate did you use white or orange leds ???

[artace1987]

how come the regular bulb is brighter than the led? leds are supposed to be brighter

[HonestJack]

@artace1987 They don't tend to be brighter unless you use something like Luxeon or similar. Although LEDs are efficient for their light output its hard to match them to a small filament bulb unless you start spending proper money, certainly more money than these little LED bulbs cost.

[rextinctione]

well which is which! left reg and right led?

[Pupster88]

Yes,

Left is a regular bulb while the right is with LED

[HonestJack]

@rextinctione As you look at it the LED is on the right.
