I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

L.E.D.s

Post by latenightcustom » October 21, 2005

Hey every one I took some better pictures and anther test.
Test: aimed at a house 30 feet away!
Yes its a bad picture but it shows how bright it realy is. My eyes still hurt from looking directly at the array of leds.

Now the qustion is will I get pulled over for having to bright of a tail light.

Why do I want L.E.D.s

Brighter, they use less power, instant on/off, life span of 100,000 hours...

I will never buy leds from radio shack!!! I get most of my stuff from L.e.d. companies. PC board I find online and pay full price but it not that expensive. Then I draw up a plan/scematic and go for there. I can do any scematic or arrangement possible. The nest set I make for the VR-4 will be even better. If any one is ever looking for led supplies led me know!!!
