LED's
 

Bart or anybody else... can you tell me what the MCD intensity means...http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...entPage=family

im not that sure, but i think its the brightness

yes it is the brightness. MCD means millicandella, and candella is a measure of lights intensity. I dont know the math on this one but the higher the mcd the brighter the light basically.

hey i found this website what do you think... http://www.superbrightleds.com/leds.htm
and could you use ultraviolet??? would it help at all

nice site...but uv is like a blacklight right? Only shows up against fluorescents?

uv is like black light... and does the viewing angle matter?

I dont know much about the viewing angle (although i assume some led's are meant for broad range and some are focused like a spotlight)

30 degrees isn't too small but i think those led's would be bright enough and they are really cheap... $.87 each

30 degrees is like a floodlight, not sure what you want them for but they would make pretty good headlights i think. I imagine that the lower the degree the more intense the beam.

i want to make a custom light bar for my hummer... and just to help people out on the forum who need LED's...

do some more research and put something together (in your words...i like that) and I'll stick it to the top.

if you mounted an LED with a 90 degree viewing angle would that go across the whole front of the car... im kinda confused on the viewing angles once mounted...

I think it means the optimal angle in which the light would be projected. so a 90 would spread light off of both sides and the front equally instead of concentrating it out the front as a 30 or less would do. I am just assuming here so dont take my word for it.

$.87 is not cheap i should know my brother is the owner of Auto X Systems a digital lighting co.http://www.com/ so i get all of my leds and electronics for free. he gets then really cheap.

well your brother is not our brother so we dont get them for free:)

free is cheaper than anything...but $.87 is better than 4 or 5 on ebay or radioshack

yeah but $.87 is still to much. you could get them cheaper on ebay

show me led's SHIPPED to your house cheaper. (not in bulk)

i couldnt tell if they had free shipping or not.... they were kinda vague on that...

minimum 5 bucks shipping...the point was that you probably couldnt find them cheaper on ebay unless you bought in bulk.
