Which ballast runs these bulbs?
Now even more thoughts.
Seems you can daisy chain LEDs:stoned:. So, beings I build and solder electronics for a living. I may have to look into building my own LED hood and mounting it around the HID hood, then moving the heavier electronics to a seperate ballast(technically a transformer in this case), like the HID already is (haven't seen this yet either). Thus reducing the weight of the hood. Some sort of heat blocker will be needed as well to protect the LEDs from the HID hood, and of course the hood will be ventilated (haven't bought this yet either). I'll need to do some investigating but 5w LEDs are out there too. If I build it myself, I may as well get the most powerful.
I'm thinking the entire hood, HID and LEDs in one. Both moving on the track. If the LEDs don't help I'll still be running what is proven too.
What do you think?
(And sorry I tend to brainstorm a lot:hippy
