Review on Nanpoku 74 T5 LED Bulb With Twist Socket PC74 LED Bulb Canbus Error Free For Auto Car Dashboard Dash Instrument Panel Gauge Cluster Indicator Lights Lamp(Blue) by Paula Oster

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Color inaccurate good for lighting

Ordered bulbs amber. The color is just warm white. They might find use later in another project, so it's not worth going back. Also, I've already modified them by changing the default resistance from 150 ohms to 400 (SMD 1206); the current drops from 30mA to 12mA. I do this for automotive LEDs whenever possible, happy to sacrifice a few lumens for longevity and actual light output is negligible. In fact, I find these bulbs, regardless of brand, to be too bright for their intended purpose, so this mod is a win-win. But still annoyed, because now I have to wait another week while I order a replacement from another seller and have to disassemble it properly. You should be happy with any other color but avoid amber from this seller. Unless you absolutely want a warm white light, which I personally find to be the preferred replacement for traditional incandescent bulbs.

Pros
  • Application
Cons
  • Long delivery time
