Which Led's Standard or Ultra Bright ??
Which Led's Standard or Ultra Bright ?? Posted on: 30.05.2011 by Joan Kollmorgen I'm wanting to order some Led's off ebay for one of my many projects and wondered if any of you guys have used the standard brightness led's in your projects.Reason i ask is i don't want to be dazzled like with the ddm4000 but at the same time i don't want them to look dim? The other reason is price as the standards are a lot cheaper Just so you know these led's will be mounted in the face of the project with led holders. These are the standard http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GREEN-Standard...item35adf269f7 And these are the ultra bright http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GREEN-Ultra-Br...item19c1054151 Any advice is welcome | |

| Joan Kollmorgen 30.05.2011 | I ended up buying the standard type plus some holders. Check my blog for rough idea what I'm gonna be building. |
| Hunter Renslow 30.05.2011 | Last time I used superbrites for a project I put a slightly higher resistor on to dim them,also gave them a rub with fine sandpaper so they don't dazzle as much.I believe it was 1500 grit or higher |

| Dorcas Bassignani 30.05.2011 | i knocked mine out of place so i get a glow through the holes i made for them... not best solution. but couldn't be arsed to resolder and buy new ones |
| Shay Wyche 30.05.2011 | Definitely the correct choice to get standard. I bought 5 volt super bright and could barely see the fader I had connected it to. I used a resistor to dim it a little. |
| Nedra Fresneda 30.05.2011 | I hate ultra bright leds from the bottom of my heart |

| Joan Kollmorgen 30.05.2011 | Thanks for the info guys. I'm gonna go with the standard led's |
| Dorcas Bassignani 30.05.2011 | i went ultra bright... then regretted it... |
| Arcelia Siebeneck 30.05.2011 | Not had experience with either but my first instinct was to get the standard LED's as too bright LED's are really distracting. But having thought about it, could you use a resistor to lower the brightness on the ultra brights? Or use some clouded perspex to dull the LED's a bit? I would probably order 1 LED of each and do some tests... |
