Well you make it sound simple as with a house light bulb......well with
an IC728 transceiver you have to open it up and split the PA section
away and fold out the front panel...then you have to unsolder from the
circuit board the miniature bulbs then solder in new miniature bulbs
than put it all back together again or were you referring to the
electroluminescent panel on the scanner which requires you cut the panel
to size and then connect the high voltage terminals....all not as easy
as replacing a light bulb in a house....but I don't suppose you are any
good at that either.....

It is difficult to know why they and their ilk behave as they do in
these international fora on Usenet. It is not the way to garner
respect from their fellow men, far from it. Most of us left behind their
ritual repetitive sneering in the playground of the pre-school
kindergarten playground.

Not getting confused with HID and "projector" fittings are you? They
were and still are awful. It says something when the, to be legal,
fitting has to have automatic leveling and washers. The optics
produced colour fringing and a very intense point source. LED on the
other tend to be a much larger source without colour fringing.

Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have
guns, why should we let them have ideas?

Josef Stalin

I think the most annoying domestic device with illumination issues was a
Pioneer receiver back in the 70s. Very good receiver, but who on earth
decided to make the dial pointer a Perspex light pipe with a tiny wired in
bulb on the top and put tine fuse like lights behind the blue dial? To get
the pointer bulb out needed a soldering iron. I pretty soon tired of this
and modified it to use an led. Same for the stereo light. But the dial
lights I had to change every year or so, and this needed half the dial
mechanism to be dismantled to get at the sockets for the bulbs. In the end I
actually traced the supply to these bulbs and put two series diodes in
series with it, which dropped it by a bit over a volt and hence they did not
blow so often.

circuit board the miniature bulbs then solder in new miniature bulbs
than put it all back together again or were you referring to the
electroluminescent panel on the scanner which requires you cut the panel
to size and then connect the high voltage terminals....all not as easy
as replacing a light bulb in a house....but I don't suppose you are any
good at that either.....


Q. How many cockroaches does it take to change a lightbulb?

A. Nobody knows, because as soon as the light comes back on, they all
scatter! :-)

A Very Merry Christmas to all my readers, even to the abusive child-like
cole and mm0fmf, in the hope that they'll take it to heart and start
behaving like responsible adults.

Its more than a light bulb its a fashion statement. Today I am going to
illuminate my bathroom in shell pink and as the sun sets it will change to
a golden yellow...

I never knew that you could spend so much money on a light bulb.

Easy. Buy some decent LED headlight bulbs for your car.

led lights should not be used in a car...

Why?


I can think of lots of reasons why to use them.
Last longer
Less susceptible to damage through vibration.
Run cooler so less chance of damage to the fitting.
Use a lot less current, so leaving lights on less likely to flatten the
battery.

types. And is more tolerant of the type and size of light source. I found
I got exactly the same beam pattern with halogen, HID and LED in the same
lamp. HID, by the way, was the most powerful.

The snag with a sharp cutoff is if the car bounces on a pothole etc, the
light as seen by oncoming traffic can go from little to a lot quickly.

As opposed to many reflector designs which merely annoy all the time. ;-)

They‘re too ****ing bright. Like permanent high-beams. Deeply irritating
coming at you at night.

Surprisingly LEDs are available in various powers. Same as tungsten.

Don't think there is a lot in it between halogen and LED anyway.

LED is 3 or 4 times more efficient than even low voltage halogen.

My tests were done with H7.

It is a hostile environment best suited to normal bulbs ...

True it's a hositile enviroment, that's why my car has got through
three if not four sets of halogen headlight bulbs in 5 years. Bog
standard ones, not "high brightness" ones. Tried a pair of those,
better light but only lasted a month before literally exploding.
Complained and got a refund.

Design fault IMHO, sodding big solenoids (you can hear them operate
inside the car) that moves a shutter to produce the dip/main beam. If
there is one thing halogen bulbs don't like it's being thwacked when
lit.

and energy saving is not an issue.....

Don't think there is a lot in it between halogen and LED anyway.

... but then again fannies just love to replace all their cheap bulbs
with expensive led lights...

I would if they shoved out more light than halogen.

... and they love all those illegal colours....and they bugger up my
eyesight

Not getting confused with HID and "projector" fittings are you? They
were and still are awful. It says something when the, to be legal,
fitting has to have automatic leveling and washers. The optics
produced colour fringing and a very intense point source. LED on the
other tend to be a much larger source without colour fringing.

you can only adjust my headlight aim up or down....quality
