1989 Defender 90 200 Tdi HT Bronze Green

Colour temperature of LED Side Lights

I'm just about to buy some LED sidelights and potentially a set of coloured tail/stop lights too.

Question is, out of RDX and WIPAC, which one is a "warmer" white? They are going on a 89 90, so don't want anything too bling/cool white...

Thanks

p.s. I'm surprised no one has tried to copy the new MINI's with their Union Flag stop/tail lights yet...

They are near identical. Parked next to each other the only difference you will see is the actual light pattern on the lens due to the different LED layout and lens design.

If you want some really warm white sidelights, try the Bearmach kit. North Cumbria Search and Rescue - Team Leader

I have looked at replacing the spot lights, but there is a lack of information on the LED lights on offer.
Colour temperature, is very import, day light is around 5/6000 deg kelvin, which is a white light, 3/4000 deg kelvin is a yellow light, the other information is lumens, I.e. 18000 lumens is approximately 1000w tungsten for example.
It would be good to see the manufacturers add colour temp and lumens to there products

Those Mini Union flag lights do look awesome. Not sure you could get them to work on a LR though. James

Ended up going with RDX just because the design is a sealed unit - I've also bought the taillights too (tis a shame about the Union flag lights though).

Thanks for all the replies.

I bought these as I prefer the 'warm' look. Sadly though I've had to replace 4 units withing 6 months due to misting inside. They are not sealed units and I'd dread to think what would happen if I actually got them wet. Luckily they have a 2 year warranty and they're not far from me...

Just a word of warning really
