I was wondering can I use that type of led on my truck . Like for the a/c control switches

@jesusproa27 The high brightness LEDs may be overkill for that use. I'd find some smaller 3mm LEDs.

Hi! I am looking into buying an LED for putting as a strobe light on my rc plane. What LED would you recommend? It needs to be bright at a distance and should be visible on a cloudy day. Would Cree be a good choice? or a jumbo LED? Would Cree heat melt foam of the plane?I have white LED strips already, was thinking of using them, but still would like to know your opinion. thanks.

@mamatalu A Cree XP-E or XP-G would work. LED should be mounted on a small aluminum heat sink for cooling. Should not bother the foam since it is only for strobe and not for continuous duty.

how many mcd was your brightest LED?

[vegmatic1966]

I have some Cree C503C in with the intensity binning of 32,000-39,000 mcd
