Re: [DMCForum] Re: HID headlights, my opinion on Delorean lighting

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I read that page with great interest and realised that it also explains 
the experience I've had with my inerior light.

I've replaced the front interior light with a 9-way super-bright LED 
festoon bulb which lights the interior up brilliantly, but has the 
curious property of not actually allowing you to see anything!! The 
colour is supposedly white but we all know white LED's are heavily in 
the blue end of the spectrum. My rear light, knobbled from a scrap 
Renault, looks really dirty yellow by comparison, but  I can actually 
see stuff with it!

BTW where do discharge lamps it into all this? (novice when it comes to 
lights)

It's worth pointing ot that the inverse square law also applies to the 
rated wattage of these bulbs - a 100W bulb does not throw out twice the 
amount of light as a 50W bulb
