LED Taillight bulbs
LED's or Light Emitting Diodes have been around for several years. Initially they were used as indicator lights for electronics and control panels. They have been used for most of the fiber optic transmission systems used by the telecommunications company for years now. lasers are a thing of the past for communications. LED's can blink allot faster and have plenty of optical power to reach incrdibly long distances and hair sized fibers of glass.
LED's are now the choice for flash lights, commercial vehicle operating lights ( with the exception of headlights) traffic lights and some have shown up for residential lighting. Recently the led taillights are being used on new cars and light trucks. And for good reason. They are extremely efficient, especially since they produce very little heat. Incandescent bulbs can be used to heat a small space or help eggs hatch. They have a significant energy waste due to the heat which is seldom used for anything useful. LED's run very cool and because of the small size can be multipled to gether to produce adequate light without sacrificing space or energy in the form of heat. One reason the commercial transportation industry embraced this newer technology is the longevity of these lights. Since they have no fragile filament, they are virtually maintenance free. And when you combine 12 or 19 of more LED's in a cluster for a tail light, if one should fail, you still have plenty left to keep operation of a fleet safe and legal.
Keep It Clean has the 1157 and 1156 bulbs available in 6 colors. We stock the red, white and amber bulbs. The yellow, green and blue bulbs are available on short notice. the suggestion is to match the bulb color to the lenses. For example, use the 1157 red bulbs for the red lense equipped tail lights. Use 1156 or 1157 amber bulbs for the turn signals where amber lenses are in use.
Keep It Clean is a few months (April or May 2009) away from offering the 3157 and 3156 bulbs. These will be offered in the same colors as the earlier model bulbs.
