Re: [doc] Who can supply correct LEDs?

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

There're several sources of LED bulbs but I guarantee the result will be 
worse than a standard bulb. There's one exception where the benefits 
outweigh the problems which are the door lights. The result of LEDs is a 
slightly pink and slightly yellow light (depending on which light you're 
putting them in of course!) but you get much less heat (many melt over 
time), draw much less current (handy for battery drain problems at car 
shows) and they'll never need changing ever again.

We have a source of the push-fit bulbs for the door lights which use 6 
painfully bright white LEDs per bulb and can sell them at £14/pair
