CT Lumination LED Blubs

[FlagSStaff]

Well, I got the Super White LEDs. Put one on the car to compare it to the factory bulb, and man, was I shocked...

LED on the LEFT and stock bulb on the RIGHT! :eek: :mad:

Needless to say, I'm none too happy with the extremely WEAK $21 LED bulbs I have. I thought they'd be much brighter than factory, as 99% of all LEDs I've seen on the road are, but boy was I wrong.

I'm in the process of getting in contact with the manufacturer, but all they have on their site is an email address, and no phone number ( :lame: ) so now I wait for an email response.

They suck. Don't waste your money on them. :mad:

Here are a couple close-ups of each side.

Well, I got a response from CT Lumintion about returning the bulbs. Here it is:

--------------------
HI-

You can return them. There is a 20% restocking/retesting fee on all
electrical returns.

A print of this email must be sent along with the returns in order to
receive the refund.

More leds = more light output, but no leds produce as much total 360 degree
light output as incandescent bulbs.

----------------------

That's it. No name, phone number, or anything when I asked in my email for a phone number. Then they want a 20% restocking/restesting fee on top of it? Man... I'm NOT happy with this, and wouldn't suggest ANYBODY doing business with CT Lumination! :mad:

***UPDATE***

I decided to return the bulbs and swallow the 20% fee. Did it about a week ago and still have nothing from them... no money, no correspondence; nothing. They are here in AZ, so I might just have to track them down on my own... :mad:

I tried one and it was the same. The problem is that the light from the leds doesn't radiate like a regular light bulb, the only way leds work properly is in a full array that covers the entire area.
