Every now and then we read in this forum that people change the conventional bulbs in their indicators and brakelights for Ledlamps.
For me personal it's not interesting and not worth the trouble. There's another lamp however that, replaced by a led, could save Watts and fuel considerably.
For other than the USmarket, headlight reflectors generally are equipped with an extra lampsocket that houses a small 4 Wattslamp. That BA9s lamp is often referred to as pilot lamp, city light, marker light, whatever.
Wouldn't it be interesting to replace that 4 Watts bulb by a 4 Watts led?
Leds produce considerable more light and maybe for daytime use it's enough to run this ledlamp for safety instead of the powerconsuming headlamp that produces primarily heat. That - in daytime - will save about 40 Watts to generate and so saves fuel.
If you google, one will find a variety of BA9s Ledlamps that can replace that conventional bulb. Some have even four or more leds fitted. I would prefer one that spreads it's light so it will use the reflector as much as possible. Has any of you experience with this?
Who can advise what Ledlamp is most suitable?
