Talking I got me some Cree leds.

I just ordered these puppies, and I'm probably more excited than I should be about it.


I plan on making me a custom Led lantern with about 16 of them. Should be pretty bright.

Might do some other stuff with them too at some point.

niceeee! I used Nichia whites when I did the switchbacks, they are pretty much the same when it comes to brightness, and they are DAMN bright.

How many did you use in yours? Because at 7lm a piece, it really shouldn't take very many.

I used 15 per light, same with the reverse lights.
I ran the reverse lights at 60-70ma since they are not on constantly, the fronts I ran at I believe 40-50.
