LED Brightness
Can anyone give me some tips on the brightness of LED's? I'm replacing my dash lights with LED's, and I want to get the brightest ones I can, I'm just not very familiar with the almighty "scale or brightness". Anyone who can help? Thanks a lot [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].

Rep Power: 339 more voltage = more brightness, at the cost of LED life.
blue/white = 5 volts to light
red/green = three voltsish even less to light.
reds will pop with a 9 volt battery much less 12 volts, you may need a resistor unless its a direct replacement.
but if they work, i wouldnt worry about brightness. when just working is an issue, you cant be too choosy....

. If I can get my hands on a digital camera I'll post some pics when I'm done. But it could take up to two weeks with work and school and all
