Cheap eBay LED Strip vs V-LED Strip
Okay, so I bought a 6" LED strip from V-LEDs for roughly around 5 bucks. I installed it in the trunk (as well as a strip under each front footwell [was sent a defective one, so I'm waiting for the replacement to come in before I take pics]). My gf wanted some under her footwells as well, so I decided to try eBay for LED strips. I bought two 30 cm (11.8 inches) strips from the seller metapark for 5 bucks only! So that's almost 4 times the total overall length of the V-LED strip. Here's the comparison pic (I wanted to make sure the LEDs actually worked before I install them into my gf's FG1).
Camera settings: Aperture: f/3.5 Shutter speed: 5.00 seconds ISO 200 Focal length: 19mm White balance: 3850 eBay LED eBay LED V-LED The eBay ones are more blue than I would like them to be even though I ordered white. But can't beat it for $2.50 each. |

Quick note: the eBay LED came with 22 or 24 gauge wires, which I thought were way too thin. So I snipped them off and soldered on some 20 gauge wires.
