Anyone using LED replacement bulbs?

I found that insurance is not available in the U S for non commercial production hovercraft. (building one at a time on a per customer basis does not qualify) The only way I could have insured it would have been to register it as a foreign vessel and insure it through Lloyds of London. Insurance premiums exceeded the value of the craft. I could have absorbed the loss of my personal craft, but the liabilities that could result from an accident were too great a risk to ignore. I dismantled it. It performed beautifully and exceeded design specs, but there will not be any.

Im still waiting for the hover craft to fly. Whats the scoop

Shrink it down and make a RC model out of it.

Over the course of about 3 years, that was how I did my R&D.
100 mph 1/4 scale RC hovercraft models. :-) You wouldnt believe what full scale wind tunnel time costs. :-) :-)

Have a LED stop/tail on my Harris, can't speak for myself as I can't see it but all my friends say it is far brighter than standard. Most new model bikes are now fitted with LED stop/tail set up's e.g. YZF R1, Honda 'Blade.

I have 3 LED's on my bike. the stock tailight bulb, and 2 round 2" dia Aux tail/brakes on my 'GK. the stock tail was (about a year ago) 14.95 and I went through JEGS to get them. the others were a special type because of the way the original bulb fit, the standard 1157LEd wouldnt work. I get nothing but "Boy, you really shine when you hit those brakes" from my weekly riders group. they are very bright, and I have noticed that since I installed them, my headlite no longer dims when I hit the brakes (remember I had 3 1157's in there before), and I can use my running lights all night long without any apparent discharge of my system. To me, they are worth it-bar none.

The #1157 red Angle LED's are what I had to use on my Aux lights, except mine were 50LED's rather than the 30 shown here.

Mounted and tested, works perfect, just to replace the bulb.

Do they seem a lot brighter than the original? And how many led's are they?

Only tested them in the garage yet, they are brighter, but not that big difference.

They have 5 diods, the main advantages I think is lower power consumption and that I don't have to replace bulbs so often.

If anyone watches NHRA they were using LEDs on the starting christmas tree and were having More red lights than normal because the LED's light instantly no filiment warmup as in an incandasant bulb. They maybe worth a try
