LED conversion difficulties
Written by kd5fdw on 2/12/2012 at 03:48 pm

Doug [et al]:


First, a question. What LEDs did you use in the tail/brake lights? I used
an 1157(red) replacement and it's a bayonet style that shoots the light
upward. At night it's OK, but other riders complain by day. I'm trying to
find a reasonably priced 1157 LED that has the "right angle" configuration
for the PC's rear light setup. This was to fix my incandescent bulbs that
were dim. I guess that this didn't fix my problem.


Next, my experience. I have a brake light modulator that flashed the lights
three times before they stay on for the duration of braking. I am not sure
of the brand name-it came with my PC800 so I didn't acquire/install it
myself. That seems to alleviate the need for resistors in-line with the
LEDs. [Oh, why are you against some small resistors with the LEDs?]
