led interior lights?

It has double sided tape on the back, I managed to sorta stick it up so it doesn't foul on the switch.

Without starting another thread, what do the Podders have for lighting in their pods, and where do you have your on/off switch?

Patrol-guy, if I got a couple of these, would that be bright enough lighting in the pod of my ex Telstra 4.2, or do you reckon a couple of strip lights?

Hi Rossco,
I have a strip on each lift up door on the pod.
They are wired into the original switches for the old lights and the
hot water basin, which is gathering dust in the shed somewhere.

Mate all I can say is it lights up the interior of my GU a lot better than before. Someone else may have a better idea of the lighting benefits for your vehicle.

LEDs are old school. lol COBs leave them for dead. lol



COB on the left and LED on the right.

Cob is led... It means chip on board.

Yes COB does mean chip on board googling will confirm that. lol I've been using them for a few years but if I got technical with how it works and the differences in COB to old school leds which are very different it would only confuse the crap out of people. The copy and paste to show the differences plus the pics I posted.

LED(light emitting diode) is new technology with advantage of saving energy and very long lifespan. But all LED lightsource can not be faultless especially SMD, HP, flux LED etc. Compare to traditional lighting such as fluorescent lamp, as it is super bright in a small size, it cause uncomfortable glare. In case of no diffused optical lens used, such LEDs usually cause glare and zebra strips . But when optical lens or cover used, it will cause light loss when LED beam pass through this lens or cover.

COB LED is multi chips packaged, it can 10 times more increase lighting area, so it avoid uncomfortable glare by the maximum extent.
Lightspot use small size of chips to make COB LED package.
By now, for small size chip, ?some famous LED chip manufacturer can reach 249lm/watt @ 20mA. But big size LED chip can only reach 161lm/watt @350mA. The light efficacy decrease when chip size is bigger. Also when LED driver increase current to LED, the light efficacy per watt is even low.

The COB with small size chips will be a trend of LED light source package.

get some clear 3M double sided tape and tape it to the clear lense
