Review on πŸ”† Jtech T5 5050 SMD LED White Dash Light Bulb 74 17 18 37 70 2721 - Bright Instrument Panel Upgrade by Mike Shah

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very bright and doesn't get hot

Bought these to replace turn signals on a motorcycle. During the day it was difficult to see the stock 1.7W bulbs (even 3.4W on the high beam indicator). They are much brighter and I can see all the indicators clearly during the day and they DO NOT blind me at night. A few extras for those interested: The lamp is a single SMD5050 lens that runs on 3V and draws 30mA. To make it work with 12-14V automotive installations, there are two 180 ohm resistors in the lamp housing. So the total power consumption is 420mW at 14V, of which 90mW goes to the LEDs to give you light. Until I realized they turned blue over time or something. Nice bright white, probably around 5000K. One bulb arrived slightly damaged (the wires were sealed in a plastic sleeve), but I was able to fix it with a pocket knife. I am very happy with these lamps.
