Default NEW type of LED bulbs...check these out!!

Guyz -

Look at these new type of LEDs...Im not sure if you can call them LEDs cuz there are no LEDs there....but it has 4 little pin-like tips in there....maybe you can see that in the pic.....it looks like it puts out more light....but maybe this new bulbs spreads the light more evenly in the housing than the current 6-LED bulbs I have. Remember, traditional LEDs look brightest when viewed straight on....it seems you need not worry about that with this new type LED bulb.

Only problem is that they are really blue...which I am sure to get a ticket for it....I'm trying to get some that are Super White. I'll keep you posted.

Pete

PHML,
If you could get some more, I'd be interested in a couple of sets in super white. The 6 Led's are failing too often.

I was told its about 3200 Yen...or $28 per pair. YIKES!! They are Bellof Wide LEDs...yes...they project the LED light to the sides...about 140 degree angle.

Well that may be because of the currency change of yen a while ago. Super white widespread 194 SMDs would be great to have though. Where do you order them?

Question

Hey PHML, which type (color) are the ones you have? Active white type? Arc white type? or Spark white type?

I dont know which one I have....my buddy sent me the bulbs only...no packaging. No markings on bulbs to indicate either Arc White or Spark White.

I want the Active White ones.

Actually, I think I got the Spark White.... cuz Arc White is little on the purple side....maybe for 6000K HID owners.

Spark White would match 7000K - 8000K HID owners.

Active White would match 5000K owners. It maybe too blue for the 4100K HIDs owners.
