    There's a lot of misinformation here. Heat is not determined by the number of LEDs, heat is determined by how much current is having to be dissipated. You need to read the resistance values of the resistors and figure out how much current each LED is trying to dissipate. I guarantee you that the two LED 194 version has it's two LED's being driven really hard to try and makeup for the light difference, while the 12 LED version can have it's LEDs being driven less as there's more LEDs to dissipate the current. So why don't manufacturers just stick as many LEDs on as possible? First there's cost, but second is Chinesium build quality. These cheap SMD LEDs are a lottery of quality, and more LEDs is greater odds of getting a bad LED that will kill the entire board. It's all a trade-off between more LEDs to current dissipation and less LEDs for less components to fail.

      beat me to it
      the heat is a factor of how hard the LEDs are driven.
      2 LEDs producing the same amount of light are going to be driven much harder than the 12 led version
      Needs a FLIR, I would have a guess the 12 LED one will last longer and run cooler: probably driven with less current, and more mass to dissipate heat.

      ​ @Aaron Courtney it really depends how they drive the led, there are many methods to drive an led , you can limit its current and increase it lifespan drasticly
      The amount of led doesn't really matter here, there are datasheets for every led and the manufacture suppose to look up this data and desgin thier circuit in a proper way so the led will last.
      But all those manufacturers dont care about it, they are making the most simple and dumest solution to drive the led so it will fail on perpose with time so you'll buy a new one

      @That V8 Life I only know what I have done and it's worked or not. I wish some of the Web experts would get a cold can of STFU from the fridge and chug it. So many give bad advice. Slam urr sack in a toilet seat and you'll ejaculate 400% More semen daily. That only works if u want 2 gain size and girth. When I was a small boy my mom had a sea shell toilet seat. When u picked up lid and seat you'd have to hold it or it'd fall down. It was a heavy seat. I would just dangle my unit over the porcelain and while laying there pee. Well the seat came down with a crash. For a few days I had biggest unit of any boy ever from the swelling and only good part of walking around with it in a dixie cup with ice is the dark purple bruise. Also u never put it in things where u can't pull it out if it grows. In 80s they'd put muppet characters like bath toys on top of shampoo bottles and soap for kids. U can guess where this is going so I'll stop here. Nothings more embarrassing than have urr parents tell those 2 life happenings to all they meet and GF and wife. Called Kermit to this day. After 4 decades I thought it'd be forgot. Still waiting.

I said I wish some experts would stfu. Then I used sarcasm in slamming unit in toilet seat and told a funny story. U don't understand comedy do u? R u 1 of those who thinks gender is fluid? Or u need 8 boosters to be safe from a cold? Or are u just mistaken? I've got 30 years of r frame off restoration experience, classic cars from model As, old trucks, cars hot rods to VW bugs. I'm agreeing with you that everyone seems to be a expert in all things.
      I think you mistakenly used urr wife's face wash with the pumice. It happens. I did that before. See the soap has tiny particles of pumice, etc that exfoliates the skin. But when you wash it off it flows down and gets trapped around urr clam and leads to Sandy clam syndrome. Or sandy sack syndrome. Where it rubs and irritates the delicate gender fluid organs and causes ppl to be temporarily irritated and not thinking clearly. It's ok. Just rinse very well and use Bag Balm and in a day or so u be as good as new.
      Stay away from exfoliating scrubs. Oh and don't eat Cinnamon toast crunch. It's made with paint thinner. Look it up and open urr mind. U have a great day now V8 Life.

    The Auxito lamp claims to use 1.2w; the Sealight claims to use 2w. Not only does the Auxito have to dissipate less heat overall, but each Auxito element has to handle only 0.1w, whereas each side of the Sealight has to contend with 1.0 - ten times as much from a pair of emitters that appear to be about the same size. If anything is going to die from heat, it'll be the Sealight.

    If you really like the color of the incandescents, there are LEDs that come close with the advantages of efficiency and brightness. Look for bulbs with a color temperature of 3000K or 2700K (degrees Kelvin). The lower the temperature, the "warmer" the light. 3000K is about like halogen.

My headlights are led from Oracle lighting they are the V Series with no fan. The leds from Super Bright Leds have a glass wedge and are dimmable. I want to change all of the lights in the dashboard cluster to led which takes 194's and 74's. I have changed out the ac/heater control lights to led they look very modern now. Most of my 2000 Camry LE is led now. Once I get it changed over I'll be happy with it.

    I’m not an engineer; but I believe it’s the electrical current itself that builds the heat. The aluminum will help dissipate it as aluminum doesn’t hold heat like steel does. Glass also dissipates much better than the plastic of those other LEDS which hardly dissipate heat at all.

    they're a touch spendy compared to some other options, but i tend to stick with gtr lighting products now, most of them are designed to mimic the filament placement of incandescents so sticking them in old housings gives the same result. for the few they don't have products for, i'll try to find something that suits. (mostly bayonet style)
    for example, the t10s, they have multiple variants, starting at 6 for the regular style, and upwards of 12 for a top end option. there's also a 4 led low profile option for things like gauge clusters that faces upwards from the blades that fit in the socket, instead of outwards from the body like the largest flat side of the auxitos in this video.

    The little component you didn’t know what it was is a diode; the slightly better-designed 194 LEDs have these so that they can be polarity-independent. You can insert them any way you want and it’ll work just like the old incandescent bulb did.
    Cheaper LEDs only have the current-limiting resistor and no diode, so they will only work when inserted one way. This also makes them useless for applications where the polarity reverses as part of normal operation (front side markers on the C4 Corvette comes to mind).

    • @shmehfleh3115
      @shmehfleh3115 Рік тому

  • @TheCrytone

    The sealight that you tore apart, the little chip is very likely a constant current ic. It will make any input voltage (within the designed range) a set current for the LEDs and the resistor seen will set that current. Too much current can kill LEDs. Cheap sets will just use only a resistor which can't provide a stable current in a car circuit (usually between 8-14V depending on what's running, etcetera).

    If everything else is equal, (current draw, light output, build quality, etc.) the bulb with more LED chips in it will usually last longer. LEDs are not self-regulating and will consume as much current as you give them, until they finally die. The closer you run them to that failure point, the shorter their lifespans will be. In this case, you have one bulb with two LEDs doing the same work as another bulb with 14 LEDs. Assuming their light output is the same, those two LEDs are doing a hell of a lot more work.

    If I were to buy a lightbulb, I’d choose one with more LED chips. If you’re inputting two watts of power into one chip with 50% efficiency, one watt will be lost to heat. If you disperse the two watts input across 14 chips at 50% efficiency, one watt will be lost to heat. The difference is that the 1 watt of loss will be distributed evenly across all of the chips. Each individual chip will be cooler, and the bulb will last longer. If you don’t understand a design, Google it.

    The dome shaped version, despite not having a heat sink, is technically better. It has current regulation, with resistors, while the 14 SMD LED light uses a heat sink for heat dissipation and resistors that limit the current to the SMDs. Technically, the ideal LED bulb would have a heat sink AND a current regulator, along with less, but more efficient lumens per watt LEDs.

    A single led driven with the 12-15v your car gives it will create a lot more heat than the 14 led light.. reason being is a single led has a range of 2-4v to drive it. So usually they make them with multiple leds built into a single chip.. looking like only one led but actually being up to 8 in a single blob... plus that extra power has to go somewhere so they will have resistors in series to dissipate that voltage which turns into heat..

    There are very effiecent leds on the market but none of them make it to the headlight manufacturing just cause they want them to keep failing

    Take most of the home use led replacement bulbs and inside you will find multiple leds in an array. I have some of these cheap bulbs that have been on 24/7 for over 3 yrs and going strong, so your concept of longevity is wrong. The other fact is that if the array is wired in parallel, you can burn out any one led and keep going, also the heat is spread out in the array, and as stated ,current=heat and if both bulbs draw equal current, then both bulbs produce the same amt. of heat

    That was helpful thanks. I had a eye Doctor tell me why Xenon and LED lights are so much better in todays headlights in most cars. Xenon/LED’s produce a blue white light, while Halogen lights are Yellow. The human eye responds better to the Blue/White light so you can actually see better at night. notice how the painted lines show up better in rainy conditions. It’s because the human eye sees the blue/white light better than the yellow light output of Halogen lights on most car headlight systems. See, you learned something from a dumb car salesman! 😉

    On the dome light, I experienced the very situation where I switched out the incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs.
    I'd been in my truck the evening before and left the dome light on, only realizing it the next morning when it was still a bit dark out. I could see the light was on as I walked up and my heart sank thinking I'd need to find a way to jump-start the battery. To my relief it started as off there was no issue at all with the charge despite the dome light being on for many hours. I have little doubt had it not been LED that I'd had an unstartable vehicle or it would have barely cranked over.
    As for heat, I'd wager it is all down to the current draw. Without taking one of those apart myself it might be that the small bulb is overdriven to get the light output OR that its lumens to current are very efficient and a big heatsink is unnecessary. It also looks like there is a rectifier bridge in there and possibly a voltage regulator. The base from how it cuts and its colour may be styrene which will soften in the 350℉ plus range so melting with 14vdc is unlikely (not impossible, but unlikely)
    On my current vehicle, I've replaced almost every bulb with LEDs even the headlights since I like the light output and their low current draw. I have had them fail, pretty much the super cheap pseudo-branded ones. The ones with established names have not failed on me.

    i don't believe LED bulbs will consume less power. Most of them are made in such way to use as much as incadescent bulb so that your Body Computer doesn't think your bulb is faulty (the so called CANbus compatible, which has nothing to do with CANbus actually, but that's a topic for another day)

    • @Johnnygga

      No, they actually do consume a lot less. The cars that have interior Canbus will give you a warning or the LEDs will constantly flicker.

      @@Johnnygga that's not how it works, let me explain:
      all Body Computers built in the last two decades has some mechanism for detecting faulty bulbs. However the "faultiness" is measured against the specs of the OEM bulb. If the OEM bulb was halogen, a pure LED bulb for the same light output will consume much less, therefore the Body Computer will throw an error and try constantly to check the bulb. Sometimes this means flashing it which causes the flicker on some vehicles. The only way to trick the system is simply not to try, adding some wasteful resistors on the LED bulbs to consume the same power as the equivalent halogen one, or increase the light output, which cannot always be done, unless you want to blind other drivers. The former way is the one used by so called "CANBus compatible" bulbs which will ALWAYS waste electricity, indipendently of the absorbed power measuring system. "CANBus compatible" is a mispelling on its own, the absorbed power measuring system has nothing to do with the CANBus which is the connection between all the various body computers and ECU. The CANBus compatible bulbs do not just waste electricity for the sake of it, they can be actually detrimental as the resistor and the connector get hotter than with a standard halogen bulb which radiates heat into the whole housing instead of conducting it. If you want to convert an old vehicle to LEDs I suggest going for CANBus incompatible bulbs or removing the resistors, it's extremely easy on most ones.

    You are 100 percent correct, even though every commentor on here says you are not. When using LED bulbs they hyperflash for two reasons, one is that the LED uses less current than the incandescent bulb making the car think the bulb is out which is why a lot of them come with resistors to avoid that error on the dash, two the LED bulb overheats because it's trying to draw more current to keep up hence causing hyper flashing the resistors they put in some of these are trash as well. The key to a successful LED bulb is heat dissipation and a good resistor to trick the vehicle into thinking it's drawing the same current as the original bulb.

    Hmmmm guys will LEDS help me with this? Cause for years whenever the car doesnt start in the morning the next day i realize that oh that battery is drained...then after a week my wife tells me that maybe those lights in the back are switched on - then after hours of arguing, explaining to her that look the lights are not on! My kid tells me - Dad they are switched on but due to the battery being drained they appear to be off

    Your heat dissipation theory is totally wrong, the fewer LED's; the hotter. For simplicity's sake I'm going to use current that would kill an LED without a resistor.
    If you have 2 LED's and 2 Amps of current to supply them, that's 1 Amp per LED. The 2 LED bulb here is being driven HARD at that point to make it's light, the 14 LED bulb uses about (with rounding) .143 Amps per bulb, 143 miliamps.
    The 2 LED bulb will generate more heat and eat itself quicker than the 14 LED bulb for that reason alone.

    • @johngalt97

      Supply current means nothing if the device doesn't use it all. Supply source being equal, resistance would determine heat.
