Not too impressed, though I'll see what they're like when it gets darker...
Waiting until dusk is perhaps academic because the flashers are equally important by day. In my case I do far more driving by day anyway. Present evidence is that the standard bulbs are more visible by day which kinda knocks those LED's into the long grass for me.Thanks for the experiment though - sorry it was not more beneficial.
Bloody nora, I had to run that half a dozen times before I saw that there was a flasher in the vid.... Not at all impressed.Thank you Steve for doing the research, I will now scrap any notions I may have been carrying of using LED conversions.
We just got back from some 'light' shopping duties and bought a replacement Edison screw bulb for our son's 240V desk lamp. I opted for an LED variant which consumes 4W and looks just like Shambles's picture, albeit with a little extra base for the rectfication.
As much as I like their design, I haven't bought any because the total lux output is never quoted in the eBay ad. They need to be tested in a reflector environment and rated +/- the original lamp, in the same reflector using a light meter, I'm sure Alan's got one.
... a quick check for reflector-critical applications is to compare the difference in height / protrusion when fitted.
* shambles puts his Hati hat on... Off-Topic:
The LEDs aren't spraying any light on the reflectors, so I'm thinking of moving them to the front, where the current bulb is engulfed by the reflector.
