Making wide-angle LEDs

[us000]

Salam all Pakwheelers!

recently i hav instlled shite LEDs in my Balenos meter,

i didnt manage to achieve uniformly distributed light on the meter.

i hav used normal white LEDs, but now i have made my own so called WIDE-ANGLE LEDs.

Normal LED:

Wide Angle :

i hav cuted the lens of normal ones.

this is giving me light smilar to a bulb.

Plz give sny suggestions to improve these LEDs.

what you could use are little reflectors behind the LED's, you'll have an even spread of light then... you could make the reflectors by cutting a soda can.

Freezing LED Helps Spread Light Also...!!

You Have To Rub LED With Zero Paper Slowly In Order To Achieve That Kind Of Effect

Also Wide Angle LEDs Are Available In Foreign Market....Here Its Not So Common Now...Just LED's Are Available....No Specifications Here...!!

@us000: the prob with LED's is that their viewing angle is limited compared to incandescent bulbs.

Try using more number of LED's..... add reflector/aluminium tape behind the LED's.

One more thing you could do is goto the auto electronics shops in pindi/isb ... they do have one kind of LED that used as parking lights.They have a number of LED's around one housing.The image below shows an example... they infact are available at Dubai Autos in pindi
