LED Lights

Am I the only 1 that is using leds for lights?

Nope, I do. 7evin does. Westtexas does

Flush mount LED from Lambert Enterprises. Previously on Mojo.

LED lights from Watson. They can be made flush mount as well. But due to time constraints 7evin went with the housings that mount on the outside of the body. The Lambert lights have 96 LEDs each very bright. The Watson lights have like 32 still pretty bright.

There are some relatively new LEDs that are called "ultrabright" and only come in red-orange wavelength. Allied has them for around $0.30 last time I looked (they drop 2.4 v and draw 50 mA). Epoxy four of them in series along with a 40 ohm resistor into a holder of your choice and you'll have a lamp you can't ignore, or perhaps a turn signal and only pay 0.05 A for the signal. These tend to be a bit directional though and may need a reflector of some sort in the packaging to be more visible when used as a turn signal. Recently there've been released some 3 watt LEDs which cost a few dollars. I haven't had a chance to play with these yet. They're very bright and at 3 watts make a cheap (power-wise) replacement for incandescent lamps in a tiny package. http://www.usa7s.org/aspnetforum/upload/1243019567_LED01.jpghttp://www.usa7s.org/aspnetforum/upload/328715997_LED02.jpg

I have LEDs in my side signal mirrors, front fender torpedo lights, and roll bar. I have one LED in my dash.

Another Friday night with my project. My leds require 20 mili watts per. I picked the resistor by intensity. So 6 leds should require 120 mili amps. With a 100 ohm resistor the reading was 118.3. I also found out that I have a direct source to Weber parts. The phone number is on the wood *#>>???
