Has Anyone tried these LEDs yet ?

Found these LED's online..looks like it might work pretty well.

More Leds = brighter/more defined rings ?

FWIW most LEDs on the market right now only use a few LEDs,with the exception of BavarianX's LS3 kit(220 Leds).

it's really not about how many leds you use in a bulb bc it is still a bulb and the way the light output goes through the rings will still be the same, there's only so much light that can pass through. The LS3 does have many LEDs but they are on the ring itself and not in a bulb that is why it is so bright.

Yeah thats true..there was another member on here that bought some similar leds that had around 50 or 60 leds,and it actually illuminated very well,better than most,but he ended up throwing codes..

I may still give these a shot,and throw my resistors from my RD Leds to test them out.

Bingo, the design has a lot to do with light dispersion.

If you get these, put up some updates, I would be interested to know how things turnout.
