LED vs. Incandescent blinkers

I have not converted yet. I did try a tower smd in the tail/brake, but it was nowhere near as bright as the 1157 bulb. Those blinkers are worth a look, though.Current Rides: 1980 Suzuki GS1000ET, 2006 H-D Fatboy, 2021 BMW K1600B -

Hi,
I also bought the red 1157 version of the 45 SMD LED from Superbriteleds.com and tried it in my tail light. I just did a quick comparison in my garage. I didn't think it was as bright as the 5 watt LED that I have been using. When I have a chance I'll do a more substantial comparison, maybe a side-by-side if I can figure out how to do a split-screen on my movie making software.
Thank you for your indulgence,

Widely available on ebay these days are:
In Basscliff's review the 45 count bulb is using 3528 emitters (3.5mmx2.8mm).2.) The size of the individual emitters. While I cannot confirm this from testing , but the vendors for the the 2015 bulb roundup claim that a 40 emitter 5050 (5.0mmx5,0mm) bulb is like a 120 emitter 3528 (3.5mmx2.8mm)
This one pulled a full 500 mAmp so it is almost twice the current of the 18 emitter bulbs.
