Reply to "Pantera LED tail, brake light conversion"

The Pantera-Electronics products are designed to withstand the high temperatures of the summer sun shining directly onto the taillight lens. This will raise the temperature inside the housing.
LED's generate their own heat which must properly conducted away from the LED device, if it isn't brightness is greatly reduced.
If the design does not address both of these important temperature criteria then LED's will over-heat and dim, with imminent permanent damage for extended "ON" time.

Adams test was a low temp and momentary activation so heating could not effect either LED product. In Adams image the Pantera-Electronics LED array has a white painted reflector. Under this white paint reflector is individual heat sinks for each LED as shown in the image below.

If the taillight factory metalized reflector has deteriorated, which many times is the case, it does not effect the Pantera-Electronics performance since the entire array replaces the factory reflector.
