    LED Life Question

    Dumb question but will a dimming LED's extend their life? I have some landscape LED's on a timer, so they illuminate every night for several hours. The manufacture sells an adjustable dimming module. Would dimming the LED prolong their useful life? The LED strips themselves are not easily...

    Help Sourcing H9 Socket & Components

    I'm not overthinking anything. I'm simply interested in identifying the OE part number(s). Thanks very much for your help. Tipsy

    Help Sourcing H9 Socket & Components

    One would think that would be the case but Suzuki doesn't maintain part numbers for individual connectors. It's only sold as part of the complete harness. BMW has a part number for every connector and terminal. Tipsy

    Help Sourcing H9 Socket & Components

    Yes, I realize the Dorman is an assembled pigtail while the part being sold by Rally Lights is components. In stating that the two look the same, I was referring to the socket housings. The two look identical (regardless of whether the picture on the RL site is accurate), which is to say the...

    Help Sourcing H9 Socket & Components

    Okay...I'll give it a try. The picture looks pretty much the same as the pigtail Dorman sells (84784). While the HL87193 will probably work, I am still curious to know the OE part numbers. I can't imagine Mouser doesn't have these. Thanks again. Tipsy

    Help Sourcing H9 Socket & Components

    Thanks. I've seen that but if you look more closely, you can see it's not quite the same as what I have (pictured in first post). Tipsy

    Help Sourcing H9 Socket & Components

    Thanks. The problem is I'm not looking for a pigtail, and that's all I can seem to find (from China). I'm trying to identify and source the socket and components. Tipsy

    Help Sourcing H9 Socket & Components

    I'm trying to source the individual, unassembled components (socket, terminals, TPA) for the stock H9 connector on my motorcycle. I've searched Tyco and Delphi on Mouser but it's clearly not referred to as an H9 component by the manufacturer. I'm drawing a blank. Does anyone know how to...

    Any ideas for a Makita LXT 18 volt flashlight?

    Bumping an old thread; I have the same Makita LXT and was wondering if there are any worthwhile drop in conversions available? TIA. Tipsy

    Bright MR16 Flood Bulbs?

    I installed six of these 3" Commerical Electric (Home Depot) dimmable recessed cans today in my bedroom (50w equivalent). I have to say, I'm impressed with the light output and the color of the light. They also dim quite well with a Lutron LED Diva dimmer. In my living room, I have six 4"...

    WF-501 Users ?

    Bumping an old thread: I've got a WF-501B that I like but I'm tired of of the CR123 batteries. Looking for recommendations for an inexpensive (sub $35) alternative of similar size and brightness that uses more commonly available (and less expensive) batteries (like AA or AAA). TIA. Tipsy

    GU5.3 MR16 LED?

    I have no idea how they work but they are made by Lightolier, if you want to try Google. Tipsy

    GU5.3 MR16 LED?

    Thanks...I'll check it out. I'd probably be satisfied if I could find compatible bubs that throw out as much light as a 35w halogen. Tipsy

    GU5.3 MR16 LED?

    I just installed six Lightolier recessed cans with magnetic transformers. I'm also installing six Lightolier trackheads with electronic transformers. All are using a Sylvania 58309 50w MR16 GU5.3 halogen floods and are on dimmers. The Lutron dimmer for the magnetic transformers is rated for...
