So I originally built a 58 Red LED third brake light and was dissatisfied with the result-
![]() It was only about as bright as the OEM incandescent so it was back to the drawingboard. I finally had time today to solder this together, it uses 97 5mm White LEDs(the maximum amount I could cram in). The current draw is apx. 9 watts and the service life is apx. 100,000 hours. It is bright like headlight bright. ![]() ![]() First Layer of 57 LEDs- ![]() ![]() Second layer of 40 LEDs, Finished!!!!!!- ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And finally Video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh44hn_EBz4 If there is enough interest I may make some of these for 6gc members as well as some of the other exterior lights.

I made another one-
![]() ![]() ![]() I think I may leave this one hooked up to a power source for a long length of time to test the durability of it. I also ordered 1000 resistors and 2000 more white LEDs. If I were to get red LEDs, would y'all perfer a red colored one or a clear one with red light output? Oh and I cant forget this, I'm thinking $60 Shipped for these. Let me know what you guys think or want! |
