Wolfie 3rd brake light, lighting Options

[snapshotgt]

First off, wolfie's products are amazing.
Secondly, i have been looking for a lighting option for his rear 3rd brake light.

As we know, Culpable came up with an LED strip as a solution: here

Looks good, but i didn't want to mix a LED strip with my non-LED'd rear lights (no, i'm not going to cut open JDM tails to put LEDs in those too).
Even though my solution IS an LED, its not a strip of them and it reflects everywhere. Plug and play, no modification needed.

Purchased from www.v-leds.com / here is the actual bulb

This bulb has 10 radial firing and 3 forward firing LEDs:









Now, i've made quite a deal about 1 LED.

I think the look will also be partly determined by how far the strip is mounted back from the lens. When I get the samples, I'm sure with a bit of tweaking, I'll get the optimum effect. You need to remember that this is still a product in the final stages of development.

Snapshot - yours has a nice even look to it, but in all honesty I don't think it's all that bright. The problem with LED bulbs is that they are very directional, and the the reflector in the brake unit is pretty poor/crap, so you get very little advantage from all those radial LED's.

With the strip, all the LED's are facing directly towards you, and are not relying on the reflector at all. I'll maybe spray/paint the background or something, but I reckon this will sort it.

From Culpable's shot illuminated in daylight, I reckon for brightness, this one's going to be tough to beat. It's should be the most visible, which is the main reason for it being there
