I noticed that Philips E27 Axx bulbs are pretty reliable. Other brands I had die out after a few weeks/months.
Does anybody know what kind of LEDs they use?

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the right place for this question so please let me know if I need to ask elsewhere.

I have installed IP68 waterproof led light strips and am looking for a quality and reliable connection. I know that soldering is the best bet but I have learned I am not skilled enough to do this well and would like the ability to switch out the strips when needed. I am looking for a clip on type connector. I found some on amazon and they are working but do not make a reliable connection and I foresee causing problems down the road.

Is there any other products available that are a clip on style connector specifically designed for the thicker ip68 4 wire RGB strips?

Thanks in advance!

There have been a number of topics about replaing car lights with LEDs but all seem to be 3-5 years old.
With the rapid changes in LED technology has anyone tried replacing stop/reverse/tail lights lately with any success ?

I have replaced interior (dome) lights with COB LED festoon globes. They seem to be OK, very bright but time will tell if they will last. A lot of the cheaper stuff from China stops working or starts flickering after a few months. Its very hard to know what the quality of these LED is like.

3 years ago, in a previous car I replaced the reverse lights with LEDs. I had to buy 4 to get 2 that had the same tint ! but the light was very bright & made a big difference over the standard globes.

Hi all,

Looking for suggestions/ideas on LED strip lighting. Something like the Phillips Hue is maybe ideal in terms of color and controller options, but looking for something battery-powered. Maybe swappable 4×18650 or similar.

Wouldn’t need a lot of output, more mood/aceent lighting is desired. Some weather-resistance preferred. Use cases would be like temporary lighting on top of cabinets, out on decks/patios, wound through a big umbrella, or to gently light up a table for a few hours at a field party.

I’ve looked around online but haven’t come across anything that looks really good for this off the shelf yet. There are a lot of options that might allow me to put something custom together, but it’s still hard to tell what’s decent vs. junk.

Any thoughts?

Hi all,
I am a total noob when it comes to light. I recently purchased a 5m long led light strip that came with a 12v 2a charger. The led lights become dim towards the end. I have a 12v 6a charger sitting around. My question is can I use this to power up my led strip? Is it dangerous?

Way overpriced light but it was cool to see some pics of the internal electronics:

https://fccid.io/QVHLIGHTCYCLE/Internal-Photos/Internal-Photos-4135728

While the concept of the light is cool enough I haven’t even bothered seriously looking at it cause of price but if someone is so interested plenty of into in youtube videos:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dyson+lightcycle

Cool to see the copper heatpipe, e-switches, 2700-6500K LEDs, ribbon connector, etc.

Not so distant future:

I’m thinking of getting some LED shop lights for a basement workshop I’m about to start on. What do people recommend? The ceilings are only about 8’ tall. I have been looking at some of the deals on Amazon, Costco and Harbor Freight. Are the really cheap less than $20 lights worth it in the long run? My fear is that those inexpensive lights will crap out after a short while. What about linkable light strips or T8 led bulbs in florescent fixtures? This person lit his garage with strips https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/63000lm-maybe-garage-lightin.... I really like that idea but would that safe much money in the long run? Any suggestions would be helpful.

I am looking for a relatively inexpensive and not too involved High CRI warmer temp replacement for the ceiling lights in my camper.

Right now I have a Frankenstein assortment of older plate style SMDLED’s and some legacy incandescents. The color temp (6500+) and CRI from the LED’s is not pleasant at all. There is no need telling my son ghost stories when we camp, all I have to do is turn on the lights and we all look like the living dead.

The camper currently has 12 volt dome lighting using bayonet type Ba15s sockets, it would be nice to find some high CRI dropins. Eventually I might use high CRI light strips and rewire the interior but for now I would like to find a direct replacement or something with minimum modification to use for the rest of the camping season this year.

Does anyone have any specific product suggestions or general ideas before I start going down the researching rabbit hole.

Thanks for the help,

This is one of the mini-candelabra base bulbs. A friend of mine came to me with two dead 50W halogen bulbs and asked if I could find an LED replacement. He complained they would only last about 18 months. One of the two bulbs was a Philips so it wasn’t because they were cheap. I did a little looking and found silicone bulbs that met his needs. I bought two from overseas. One is a 5W 80 SMD 5730 bulb, the other a 7W 152 SMD 3014 bulb. Both are considerably brighter than the original 750 lumen halogen bulb. My friend is quite happy with the result and not having to buy bulbs so often (probably again never in his lifetime). BTW, he doesn’t know the concept of CRI or care a darn about it. He just wants a decent light. The 5W bulb was $2.89 and the 7W bulb $2.39. They took 29 and took 29 and 31 days to arrive from date of order. You can get them on Amazon but I never go there!

I used some of these silicone bulbs in outdoor Christmas decorations. They work so much better than the old incandescent E9 bulb. The small ones with fewer LEDs and a G4 base cost less than a dollar each.

So I came across this Canadian company making a adjustable very high CRILED strip with 2200K and 6500K white LEDs plus an RGBLED. The RGB makes it possible to adjust the tint (i.e. duv value) of the light so when the warm and cool whites are mixed, you can still adjust the tint near the black body line. Although most of us prefer the nice rosy tint (negative duv), this is very handy for matching the light with ambient conditions.

At the moment they don’t have their own controller to do the adjustment, but for now you can use the Philips Hue Ledstrip Plus driver and their smartphone app. It has slow PWM and isn’t super accurate and takes some effort to get what you want, but as a concept I’m loving it. Sowilo said they’re hoping to come out with their own hardware later this year.

In a way, the Sowilo Bifröst is pretty much a plug’n‘play upgrade to the lower CRI Philips HUELED strip which also features a similar RGBWW configuration.

I’ll have a more comprehensive review done later, but here’s some photos.

Six cables, 24V is common, plus 5 grounds for all the different emitters

Warm white is super pleasing.

The cool white is above the BBL, but no worries, it can be brought down by adding some red and/or blue.

When mixed, the tint is as rosy as a 219b.

And just for kicks, the glorious CRI of an RGB white light.

After yesterday’s longer walk with my new light: Wurkkos WK30 I found out diffrent light wavelenghts seem to attract insects with diffrent intensity.

Tried to search for some info here, found two threads but these did not clarify my suspections.
LEDs and Insects
Which light bulb attracts the fewest bugs? Study reveals surprises

I’ve noticed red light (620nm in WK30) actually does not attract insects at all. And I mean it. I had walked for like an hour not disturbed by any insect. At all. Just for experimental purposes from time to time I turned white (5000K) or UV (395nm). After changing from red to other, within 10 seconds I was surrounded by a cloud of diffrent insects, must run away to get out.
Furthermore I had a strong impression UV light attracts insects far more than white. So the ascending ‘attractivness for insects’ order would be: red->white->UV. The direction of wavelenght changes might indicate the rule: the shorter wave the more attractive, but this is more my guessing than a research conclusion.

Thus a question, do you have any knowledge/experience related to insects attractivness?

Friend moved to a place, looks like the light is burnt out. How do I remove the light? and what are these lights?

I tried pulling on the light bulb but it didn’t seem to come out…so wondering if I really do just need to pull harder or theres another way to release the blub?

I'm overly tired of the "CRI averagish" LED bulbs I have home (looking at you LIFX, Osram, Philips) and what is commonly offered in retail / online stores (...for the ones that do know what is CRI, geez). I'm no steampunk, I do not want to get back to incandescent bulbs nor do I want to consider halogen right now.

At a time we can have über great Optisolis (Ra99 & Rf98 R9 99, R12 95) in our hands, why can't we have über great bulbs hanging from our ceilings?

And so for the nth time I've browsed the web for great bulbs. Seems I'm still shy of long results, even if it's better now. There are results.

And here they are, so far in a regularily updated table:

>> Latest update is an image <<

If all goes right to plan, I expect to create here a small bible of respectable references that will be useful to the community.

Do you share this urge to find quality lights? What have you found so far?

Let the hunt begin !

Reference :

• Remarquable manufacturer of High CRI LEDs dies:
  • Nichia : Optisolis
  • Yuji : VCT
  • Osram : Oslon square
  • Citizen : CitiLED
  • Luminous : Salud (only the 3000K flavour)

Here’s a list of light bulbs, sorted by CRI_Grades. The bold are light bulbs you could use in your home. The CRI_Grade is meant to be read just like a school test score.

This grade is calculated by a math formula. I’m really loving the grade results vs what I think about them after reviewing all the color data from my spectrometer.

And my God, those SunLike are the only LED technology to earn an A grade. Not only that, the SOL model beat the sun itself (If you are wondering how, the sun’s not so perfect after it comes through the atmosphere.)

I’d like to grade some bulbs you guys have found online and sort them into the table! All I need are the CRI numbers. Thanks!

Age combined with variance in short-wavelength energy in white SSL result in varying perception of phosphor-converted LED white-light sources.

Maury Wright
Oct 22nd, 2019

The Optical Society (OSA) has published research in its Optics Express journal that suggests human perception of phosphor-converted, white-light sources varies with the age of the person viewing the light.

Presumably, the short-wavelength energy in the blue or violet spectral region is the culprit, although it appears the field of view is also an issue — a phenomenon we have reported on previously. The intent of the research is establishing a knowledge base that solid-state lighting (SSL) product developers can leverage to deliver consistent chromaticity perception to everyone who views an LED-based product, ranging from general illumination lamps and luminaires to backlit displays.

The research was performed by Soraa scientists and engineers, including research team leader Aurelien David. “Our study revealed that the amount of short-wavelength light a source emits together with the viewer’s age may lead to very different perceptions of a white light,” said David. “LED light sources exacerbate this effect, because their emission often features large peaks of blue or violet radiation.”

The research relied primarily on Soraa’s blue-free (BF) LEDs that integrate a violet pump and a phosphor formulation that produces virtually no energy in the blue spectral region. We published an article on that technology a couple of years back and its intended application in circadian or human-centric lighting. Upon seeing the press release on this study, we assumed there was some circadian aspect to the research. But it appears that BF LEDs were simply a good match for the work because of the prevalence of the extremely-short-wavelength violet spectral energy.

The researchers had volunteers view several near-white LED sources with different spectral power distributions (SPDs) and were asked to compare those sources with a reference white source. “According to standard colorimetry methods, all users should have the same perception for a certain LED source,” said David. “However, we found large variations between viewers. Some thought a given source appeared very pink, whereas others thought the same source appeared very green.”

The press release we linked in the lead paragraph suggests primarily that age is the reason for the differences in perception. But reading through the more detailed article, it appears that there are multiple factors at work.

The research studied LEDs that were binned primarily on the 1931 CIE color space work that is still widely used in the SSL world. We published a seminal, four-part series on color science early in this decade that details the science behind the CIE work. It’s a long read, but start with part one and make it through part four and you will learn a lot. Part one introduces the concept of metamers where two light sources with different SPDs can appear to humans to be the same color. And the series explained the concept of color-matching functions based on the science.

But that 1931 work was based on a field of view of only 2°, meaning that only the cones in the center of the eye were considered. We had a contributed article a few years back that detailed this phenomenon. There are few to no blue cones that are located within that field of view in the eye.

There was later work that identified that a 10° field of view would more accurately characterize what a human perceives in terms of color. Osram Opto Semiconductors, in fact, had a program promoting 10° binning of LEDs as a better approach than the widespread 2° binning in use. Osram engineer Alexander Wilm won our LEDs Magazine Illumineer of the Year Sapphire Award in 2017 for that work. Note that if you read this immediately after our posting, there may still be time to submit a Sapphire entry.

The OSA article discussed a new color-matching function called CIEPO06 based on a 6–10° field of view that could help with consistency of perception if applied in LED binning. Still, the study also finds a solid link between age and color perception as well. “The perceived tint of these unusual LED sources is heavily influenced by the viewer’s sensitivity in the violet range, which is strongly age-dependent,” explained David. “Although others have observed similar variations in white-LED perception, the effect was especially easy to see because these special LEDs exacerbate it.”

I tested most of these half a year ago but was going to post them after I have time to put them in an easy to read table but given my current real world commitments, I doubt I’ll have time to do that anytime soon so I decided to just post what I have. It will be a long post.

My purpose for testing these is to find the best lights for use in my home. I like warm lights with negative DUV (below the BBL or rosy tint) with very little blue light to minimize suppression of melatonin. My favorite so far is the Auxma 2400K led strips with the SMD2835 due to their perfect warm cozy rosy tint and very low blue light content. Overall, I’ve been very surprised how high the light quality is in almost all of these Aliexpress/Alibaba lights I’ve tried. Compared to the dozen or so different led strips I bought from Amazon 5-6 years ago that tested 60-70CRI with positive DUV (green tint), these are in a whole nother league. I just wish high powered LED for flashlights will match these in light quality in the near future.

I have two options:
- use 5 bulbs at 5000 Kelvin about 800 Lumens high CRI high R9 with a 5 in 1 adapter but it will be expensive
- find a large light bulb or corn led at 5000 Kelvin about 4000 Lumens high CRI high R9 and hope it is cheaper

Please save me.

A Holiday emergency! I purchased LED flame-bulbs for my outside light-fixtures. But instead of “flickering”… They just pulse on/off. I’m thinking the problem may be caused by the X-10 switches that control the bulbs? Help?
