Do LED lights illuminate quicker than OEM ...

interesting, never really thought about this even when I switched out my brake and reverse lights for leds. Mostly just did it for the brightness and the never having to worry about getting pulled over for a burnt out bulb

 

Cool! Looks like the LED was just ever so slightly faster to illuminate. Possibly because of less draw?

 

True that LED will be "faster". It's a diode, and response is literally instantaneous. Old bulbs are filament (wire that gets heated to produce light), and the filament has to warm to the point it will do so. 30+ years in lighting, and I will tell you GO LED when you can. Headlights and fogs are user decisions. Anything you can replace in an older vehicle will be BRIGHTER, FASTER, SAFER. You may have to change the flasher relay like I did in my 2007.

 

perhaps shot at default 240fps on iphone.
on slo-mo playback, it looks like the difference is 1 second, which translates to real time of 0.125 seconds.
would that difference matter? maybe, maybe not.
regardless, LED has many more advantages so it is really the way to go.

 

An LED (by itself), will turn in in NANOseconds. You can't see that fast. They also turn off in NANOseconds. Sometimes, if the LED uses a phosophor for coloration, it will "appear" to turn on a "little" slower (because it is heating the phosphors). And once it is warm, it will also "appear" to turn off a little slower, as the phosphors cool down. As turn signal lamps, when flashing, this can make them look like the incandescent filament lamps. However, the answer for how fast they turn on, is instantly. Faster than you could time.

Oh yeah, I converted every lamp on my truck, except for headlamps and fogs, to LED this winter. Brighter, last longer, all that good stuff. Except for changing out the flasher relay to LED compatible. THAT sucker is NOT where you will enjoy changing it!

 

Thank you - looks great.

The product is here - 3157 brake/tail:

Turns and reverse coming out soon - still in testing but we'll keep the forum updated.

Thank you

 

In theory.

If someone is following so closely that that time delta makes a difference............ and they react with the same reduced time value, they should be F1 drivers.

Nothing against proper use of LEDs. But they aren't quite as magical as everyone wants to make them out to be.

Now when the activation of the LEDs tosses out a Starship Enterprise grade shield to protect your tush, I'm a buyer.

 

Our LEDs are brighter - deeper red giving the LED appearance to your stock halogen housing which looks great. But they are safer while looking better.

We replied at the same exact time please look above your post to see some research done by Philip LEDs taken from their website and photos of how these look.

I want to add that the deAuto Team is very honest and they are only sharing photos that accurately represent what you'll see in person.
