It seems if you want the exact same bulbs/LEDs in white that the price goes way up. [illegal] green or blue $6~$7, white $48.88.
Whats up with that?
That is odd. The white ones should not be more expensive.
I have LED street lights, but even accounting for how inaccurate some LED photos can be for depicting real world brightness, I gotta say that R'BellChain's [illegal] green ones seem very bright. I'd like those in white.
You can't really tell how bright they are from a photo like that. Only if you had the original ones next to it would a comparison be valid. Otherwise, there is nothing to compare to- anything will look bright if the camera opens the iris up. Angle is another important consideration.
Anyway, I would want them in YELLOW, which is not only legal, like white, but an excellent idea, because displaying the contrasting color will help with visibility. But I tried yellow LED city lights a long time ago, and they were pitiful- considerably less bright than plain incandescent yellow bulbs (which is what I ended up using). I am happy with the color, but want something at least double the brightness. That is when I changed the turn signals to stay on full time on the front, acting as running lights, then blinking OFF to act as turn signals (I searched for the thread but the broken search on this forum can't even find it anymore
). I tried LED in those too, and it was also a miserable failure, so still waiting for someone to make something reasonable.
Much of the LED lighting out there is really crap- poor quality, poor light distribution, and full of outright lies and misinformation. Take this for example:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-pcs-Amber-Yellow-T10-7W-Cree-High-Power-Projector-License-LED-Light-Bulbs-194-/171071351546?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27d4a5aafa&vxp=mtrDo you REALLY think they are 7 watts? Of course not. 7 watts in a T10 package is highly improbable due to lack of heat dissipation, plus this show only ONE LED, no single LED at that price is 7 watts. Then right below that they claim "180 degree light output", and if you look at the photos, it is obviously less than 45 degrees. Makes me angry.
