You can easily tell, if you have experience with LEDs...

ry333 · 06-17-2008, 04:07 PM

wow...150 compared to 800
i wonder how tat actually affects how bright the rings are during the day tho
can we get a comparison?

Sam Da Man · 06-17-2008, 04:10 PM

since u are attempting to make these super bright for the day time, will the rings look distorted at night?

Marc,

You got PM.

Gen_E92 · 06-17-2008, 05:04 PM

yea marc you should make a prototype of both versions...that way it's much easier for us to decide.

mds82 · 06-17-2008, 05:11 PM

from my point of view they are at least 250 lumen; since the are using 4 small LEDs per side.

Papa13 · 06-17-2008, 06:07 PM

I mean.. easy is good.

But, the best led unit possible is better.

You only have to install once then your done, why not make them the best they could be?

Why settle for anything less?
