    what is an acceptable vehicle LED lighting upgrade?

    what is an acceptable vehicle LED lighting upgrade?

    That's why I came here, to learn. Speaking of that, and not to be confrontational but to understand better, in these two youtube reviews, they both review the beam pattern and lux measurements, and the beam pattern seems really well defined with a nice cut off. In the first video especially...

    what is an acceptable vehicle LED lighting upgrade?

    I do, but I'm also trying to inform myself about the general state of the market and laws - for curiosity's sake if nothing else, but also because I didn't want to violate the forum rules - before I jump in with more specific questions. I happen to be wanting to modify a motorcycle in a...

    what is an acceptable vehicle LED lighting upgrade?

    Thanks for the response. 1. I see other people discussing, seemingly, LED bulbs in this forum. Is that because they are not headlights? 2. Are there any other complete headlamp replacement options like JWSpeaker that are generally recommended here?

    what is an acceptable vehicle LED lighting upgrade?

    I read through the stickies here, but there is a lot of jargon within that leaves me, as a noob, completely unclear on what is acceptable and what is not. I read a lot that seems to imply "retrofits" are not safe and not allowed to be discussed in this forum, but I'm not even sure what a...

In this day in age, is there a practical reason why you want to use an incan as an EDC device? (I don't want to knock your thread off topic, sorry). I...

    argh... severe battery corrosion :(

    So, a Duracell battery will leak just sitting alone in a drawer? I also bought a UK C8 LED at the same time, left it in the same drawer, with 8 C-cell Duracell batteries, and it is in perfect condition. Light turns on, and no leakage. :( I’m really curious how and why the PCB got covered in...

    argh... severe battery corrosion :(

    I have a Underwater Kinetics SL4 LED flashlight that I bought brand new a year ago. I never used it. I kept it in storage for the past year with 4 brand new Duracell-brand C-bateries installed. Today I am going diving, and I grabbed it out of its drawer... :( Now, I’m not a complete idiot...

    Making a rainbow "room light" / "night light"

    I ran across this product for children: http://www.amazon.com/Uncle-Milton-R.../dp/B000TK8440 I was intrigued, but after reading the reviews I found that it was 1. Not very bright 2. Plagued by quality problems where sometimes not all the lights light up 3. Difficult or impossible to see the...
