Testing some Instrument LED
I installed a while ago in my SC a set of LED from Superbright. That was not bad for about $1.5 a bulb.
I also noticed a lot of postings about LED's which are much brighter then the SB once. I did some testing to compare some of the bulbs out there. Here is what I used. No. 1 is the standard bulb which work with the dimmer. No. 2 is the Superbright which is not bad, About $1.5 each, but they don't work with the dimmer. No. 3 I found on Ebay Germany EUR 3.5o - these work with the dimmer No. 4 New design with 3 small LED on top and 1 LED left and right. These work with the dimmer and light up the most difficult instrument, the clock, since it has the only one bulb on top. http://airboxer.com/images/LED-Test.jpg Here is a picture with the clock and the Speedometer with the original bulbs. http://airboxer.com/images/tach-clock-st-bulb.jpg This is with the Speedo with the SB LED and the clock with the standard bulb http://airboxer.com/images/tach-SB-L...ck-st-bulb.jpg Here an other angle http://airboxer.com/images/tach-SB-L...-st-bulb-2.jpg This is the LED from German ebay, the clock still on standard bulb. http://airboxer.com/images/tach-EBAY...ck-st-bulb.jpg This in the new LED set on the dimmer low http://airboxer.com/images/tach-NEW-...bulb-dimlo.jpg and here on dimmer high http://airboxer.com/images/tach-NEW-...bulb-dimhi.jpg Now this one is with the clock installed with the new LED. http://airboxer.com/images/tach-NEW-...-LED-dimhi.jpg |
Nice!
Where did you find #4? |
Some of the instrument uses have a depth limit which would prohibit the use of #4.

I would make 2 set's available for testing, if somebody is interested. Quote:

I just had a look at the ultimate LED thread here on Pelican - lot of stuff there.
Etarga's LEDs have had good reviews from Pelicanites. Someone also linked this site Order Now Porsche Rothaus can you provide a link for #3 and #4. |
The 2 set for testing are gone. Thanks for testing the LED's
I like to have some feedback before I offer them. Thanks Engelbert |
Wow #4 looks great!
I have SB's on mine and while they are better than the stock, it's still inadequate. Engelbert put me on the list when you get more. Mahalo, David |
The test set's are in the mail.
Cheers Engelbert |
" Rothaus can you provide a link for #3 and #4."
" I like to have some feedback before I offer them." Guess not. |
Are the origins of #4 going to be made public? I don't really care about the cost, I really need these LEDs....?
|
Thanks for the response, I really wanted to see how others like them before I start selling them. However, if you don't want to wait, please PM me.
Thanks Engelbert |
I installed etarga's vintage LED's. They look great. The lower color temperature is closer to original and matches the HVAC panel's yellowish color. No fakey blue color. I

Update:
Here are 2 pictures with the complete set installed. Here with the white http://airboxer.com/images/All_White_01.jpg Now I have also the warm white or AKA Vintage Look. I switched all of them out with the white once. I personally like them both. http://airboxer.com/images/All_Warm_White_01.jpg Cheers Engelbert |

|
I got one last set of the white left. I got a few sets of the vintage white available.
Cheers Engelbert |
