heckler Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Of course is on an LED theme... An PCB designed to sit around the spindle of the needles, to light them up brighter! of course, this also means the they can be used with my tacho/red line PCB set up... http://www.internetwork.org.uk/random/needle.JPG Just as a size comparisson, the green LED is 3mm in diameter, the 4 LED's on the PCB are 1.6mm in length! This one lights up red... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckler Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 ok, here we go - gives a rough Idea, unfortunatly the Camera always makes LED look brighter than they really are, especially when it comes to light distribution. http://www.internetwork.org.uk/random/needle2.JPG The picture shows more red light on the dial than there actually is.
