Let's see your frugal DIY mods!

Im honestly not sure. do either pages show their lumen count?

 

Doesn't look like an "honest" count.

oznium = Cool White 18.4 lumens

eagle eye = Lumens: 110LM-120LM

 

im not sure I guess. I can tell you the oznium ones work well for the puddle lights I think

 

Think I may do 2 ozniums and a 4 pack of the eagle eyes.

 

more expensive but check out the 3w option

Clean!

 

hmmmm.....got me thinking.

 

Ill be getting those myself. They're at an excellent price point and good reviews

 

The lumen may be fairly accurate on the eagle eyes. Each 5630 LED is rated at 24 lumen and there are 6 of them.

The big question for me is will 6 chips that close together start cooking themselves. My amber lights have 6 LED's and have been working great since I installed them.

I don't have any Oznium LEDs but they look like a good company. They claim to make some of their products in-house. Theirs is a 2 LED housing, so it makes sense you get less light output.

 

Thanks again George. Really appreciate the help.

 

My under mirror puddle lights are Ozniums. My under bumper lights are the cheapo Amazon Eagle Eyes. Ask me which ones need replaced.

 

the latter?

 

No problemo. I'm not an expert in LEDs but I do love to play with them. I'm just a guy with a bag full of Chinese LEDs and too much time on my hands.

 

Im going on 4 years with the Oznium ones no problem. The bumper lights need redone already after a few months. I ordered more Oznium LEDs to replace them.

 

Think you may have sold me.

 

I'm sure Oznium has much better quality control than anything I get from AliExpress. My thinking has always been test with the cheap stuff, go permanent with domestic. If any of my LEDs go out and I like their location, I go with US stuff. Oznium has decent prices and I really like they are a bunch of gearheads in the US. Checkout the CREE company and you will find they are also US based.

 

Call and ask for susan. She gave me a killer discount when I was making bed lights
