My friend and I have been looking for a summer project and he loves working on my bike with me since he can't get his own. I came across the LED Pegs and we decided that it'll be our project. I've been going through all the threads i could find on here, but i still have a couple questions.
What mcd should I use? Sounds like people are saying at least 8000.
What size? Sounds like the LED king Tripage uses 3mm LEDs, so thats what i'll probably try to get unless convinced otherwise. I'm gonna have to get 2 rows facing the back if i'm gonna have turn signals and brake lights on the back.
Whats the best/cheapest place to buy the LEDs?
Will viewing angle really matter that much? I saw one post that said 45-60 should be enough, while some others were going with the widest viewing angle possible.
Based on pics i've seen, i think the 20 per peg facing the rear would work best. Should i wire them all in series, or do 5 in a series and put 4 of those in parallel?
Anything else I should know?
Will this diagram that i've made work? its based off of what i've found here.
I think that setup would be easier to wire than putting red LEDs only on the back and then trying to wire them up so they are brake, turn signals and running lights.
Thanks for the help guys!
