Mature product, LED third brake light

I've wanted to switch to LED brake lights for many years but have heard a lot of bad things about them in the past. LEDs almost always last longer than any incandescent bulb, but in the past the problem with new LED bulbs for automotive applications was that they were no brighter than incandescent bulbs! Such a replacement of LEDs is completely useless and makes it pointless to upgrade to a newer technology. Well recently I've been looking for LED taillights again as I live in a large metro area and as the development progresses the traffic is getting worse and more people are taking to the streets. streets. I always seem to be overtaken by the driver behind me. So having proper brake lights is now a must, not just a "cool" looking upgrade. I bought an AUXLIGHT Red 1156 replacement bulb, literally just installed and tested it. Works as expected from the reviews. At first I found the 5x strobe effect to be over the top and too long as someone else mentioned in a negative review. But when I think about it, the truth is that there is a need for it. Why? text messaging and driving. Although it has been banned and you can be fined for texting while driving, it goes without saying that people are still checking their phones even when they are not texting. So the 5x strobe effect will catch someone's attention even if their eyes were glued to their phone for a few seconds. The strobe lasts about 5 seconds, which should definitely be enough to make you notice it. Another factor I considered when replacing the third brake light (high mounted brake light) was the fact that I had recently switched from a car to a minivan. Braking in this car takes longer. It's significantly heavier than the car I had before. Whenever I intend to brake hard, I usually apply the brakes to let the person behind me know I'm about to brake. But I can't brake with this car because I have a longer braking distance. So I have to brake faster and hold the brakes longer to stop the van before I collide with the vehicle in front of me! security as well. The fact that I can't hit the brakes makes me think I'll most likely end up in the back. All in all, I highly recommend these 1156 Strobe Brake Lights. They are amazing and will serve their purpose well. If they last at least a year I'll be happy with them. I understand that these lamps are newer technology and you must be willing to be an experimenter before they are consistently and reliably manufactured.
