LED Front fog lights (Test subject Mr Joely P)

Been working on these for a while now and finaly got them finish. Big thanks to Joely for testing them out for me.

 

The units use 80 (40 per side) 10mm bright white LED's with an output of 290000 mcd.

 

Pictures taken this afternoon and bearing in mind it was a nice sunny day im very pleased with the results. I'm looking forward to getting some nice night shots soon.

 

Let me know what you think...

Chocolate. I'm gonna go with chocolate.

 

I was gonna say chuff for some reason, but I thought better of it!!

 

 

BTW, I'd be up for some of these, but I'm a fan of symmetry on my cars so I'd prefer them without Z's or X's thanks :D

 

did you say chuff :tooth: lol

 

a bit more testing yet but i'll make a note of it.

Right get your calculators out !

 

I've been looking how to compare the brightness of these LED's and found this to explain it. :smartass:

 

'The brightness of LEDs is measured in millicandela (mcd), or thousandths of a candela. Indicator LEDs are typically in the 50 mcd range; "ultra-bright" LEDs can reach 15,000 mcd, or higher (the 617 nm Luxeon Star (part number LXHL-NH94) can reach 825,000 mcd).

 

By way of comparison, a typical 100 watt incandescent bulb puts out around 1700 lumen - if that light is radiated equally in all directions, it will have a brightness of around 135,000 mcd. Focused into a 20° beam, it will have a brightness of around 18,000,000 mcd. '

Right get your calculators out !

That's pretty much spot on Martin. Well done.
