Default Superbright LED's

Why not buy from a ruiser?

Great web site! Link to very interesting technical info on LED's.

I wish I could buy from them but theirs are mounted in a thick cannister
intended to be lights on their own. What I like about the ones Steve
originally posted about is that they will fit right into my existing light
fixtures which are fairly large for just two bulbs.

The blue light worries me a bit because I really don't like what comes out
of LED flashlights.

Does anyone know if blue light is the opposite of red light as far as night
vision is concerned?

I don't think I would try this if I only had one bulb in my fixtures but
being able to bring a standard bulb on line to boost output and dilute the
blueness makes it seem reasonable. I'm still going to wait until I can take
my LED flashlight down in the cabin and see how it feels.

I wonder if the amber LED's are more pleasant light? If just faintly amber,
they might be.
