Nippy Normans volts and LED

[MATKAT]

just had a LED rear light bulb board thingy from Nippy.wow !!! the rear light and brake light are so bright on the 80G/S straight fit for the pre-90 100and 80 brill' !!!!!
Also Norman does a trick LED voltmeter, absolutuely brill' and easy to fit, a must have twinkling light !!!

Have you measured it

Have you actually measured the light level with the lens on with a light meter, I saw one of these and thought it was not so good so I measured it and it turned out to be 1/4 of the brightness of the filament bulb, maybe this is a new type, I'd be interested to know the LUX value of the LED array with the lens on.

I followed a fellow GSer home rom Park Lane last night. He had a Nippy Norman LED rear light and it looked to me every bit as bright as a regular bulb, whatever angle I was looking from!

tekno

well dont know about the tekno stuff but a GS with a standard light next to a G/S with Normans LED was (to the eye anyway) at least twice as bright. It even shone up as much (if not more) as my STX1300 from 100yds good 20 quid mod' I reckon

I think (and this is a bit of a drag up from the haunted east wing of what I laughingly describe as my memory) that you might not always get the correct reading for light output from an LED using a "standard" lightmeter. I remember attempting to measure this stuff when they started to become common and some lightmeters integrate across the spectrum to give a result whilst LEDs are fairly monochromatic so they pump out lost of light at particular frequencies and nowt at others, confusicating the meter.

I could be talking complete bollocks here and thinking about lasers (which I was diddling with at the same time). I'm sure someone will pop up and correct me if so...

Is it

Item Number : LED-30BA15
Price : £12.99

you are talking about? I was looking for an LED replacement for my R80 too, so that might just do the trick.

Cheers,
