I had a similiar idea using flex strips. Never got around to installing them though. Looks cool!

Im assuming them being outside is a mock up for the picture to show us the new product but are they meant to be inside the housing or outside for final install?

Looks good, offer a few other colors and I may pickup some.
Keep em coming Oz.

Not digging the look. icon_confused.gif They would look so much better if the l.e.d.s were spaced just a bit more closer together. icon_smile.gif

You should start them in the inside bottom corner & run them to the top outside corner, instead of halfway up both sides.

You're doing it wrong.

I honestly think it looks better this way, but I know everyone will install it in their own creative way.

Don't crucify me, but I don't like it at all...it's got that rope lighting thing going on. The LEDs are spaced too far apart from one another. Unlike the ones seen on Audi's, they don't look like a single strand of light when lit. I don't mean to compare it to Audi but still it would look better brighter and closer together.

How do these differ from the Tri Chip LED strips?

I haven't seen the project, but these aren't Tri-Chips, or SMDs at all I don't think. If they are, they're smaller SMDs, which must pack more of a punch. Didn't see them at night.

Once I'm sent some (cough cough) I'll get proper photos and closeups for the site / everyone. icon_biggrin.gif

Brighter mA? Lumens per watt. Many variables could be at play. These could be 1 watt's for all we know (although I don't see a hockey puck heat dissipation unit )

Until we have a data sheet no way to see how they compare to Tri-Chips.

I dont think those are 1watt's at all, not in a ribbon type fashion. I've been looking at Luxeon's website and 1 watt LEDs, as small as they are, requires a lot of prepping plus it'll be super bright!. I finally did find the collimators I've been looking for to fit over the 4chip LEDs to make them brighter/focused for true DRL application.
