My point was that the quick rise time was most important for safety on brake lights, nothing more than that.
Important, yes. Most important? No. Not when other factors are so UNequal.
All factors being equal, yes, you pick the one with the fastest rise time. But this means that between all the light sources you choose from, that they all have the correct photometrics. This also includes the difference between intensities of the minor and major functions-- a fast rise time from a minor function that is too dim *or too bright* to be a tail lamp is meaningless-- the light source is incorrect (for example, some of the Zevo 'bulbs' whose minor function is so intense it's hard to distinguish the major function from it). If it fails to meet prescribed minima, or exceeds allowed maxima-- it's the wrong light source. Faster rise time would be a tiebreaker between two otherwise equal sources.
Facts are facts whether there's an agreement of opinions. Eight people can opine that the earth is flat; they have a consensus (but then again, no expertise in that subject).
I was surprised to see some corncob looking lights with the Dorman name on them, they've been in business long enough they ought to know better. As such I was thinking that maybe they might look cheesy but actually work OK, I guess not?
They've been business long enough to sell what people will buy, no matter the quality, real or imagined. The corncob-looking bulb-like toys don't work OK.
