Ok, I'm like you.. I hate spam, and forum spam.. It's the worst.
That being said, this one sets a record for being hilarious.

Every reference to "LED" was a hyperlink to a sales page.
(Naturally, I've killed the links, replacing them with underlines)

Maybe it's just far too early for me as I'm preparing to leave for UPENE, but this made me laugh out loug.

From: Leroy Asad

I don't know much about led light bulb, matter of fact, I completely failed the electricity part of my science class in 8th grade, I know the words, but I have no idea what ohms, Watts and Volts are... I also have no idea what resistors do, but that's not a problem.

I wanted to convert my rear tail lights into led ceiling lights for a long time now, but apparently the PnP bulbs are full of Smile. So I'm thinking of making my own from a perf board and a bunch of LED's and resistors on eBay.

what I want to know is:

- How many resistors do I need? How many resistor's per LED Fluorescent?
- How will I control the brake light (aka make the LED's light up brighter when I hit the brakes)
- Making a drawing on MS Paint would be killer :tonqe:

Oh yeah and considering I'm doing all this myself in my basement, how much $$$ is involved approximately? I'm thinking between 15$ and 40$..

    PnP bulbs? LED Fluorescent? What kind of alternate universe is this???

    For that matter, who would want red ceiling lights?

    PnP is short for Plug and Play ....
    White LED's use Fluorescense to work .........
    Perhaps they want a phototographpy dark room ?
    LMAO

    He IS right most LED ( retrofit ( AKA Plug and play "bulbs" are VERY poor IF they use 100s of pathitic 30 mA LEDs AKA 9 USD per " bulb"


    The Good ones are 40 USD and use a few CREE Dice that are 900 Lumens ......
