As LED technology has advanced, it has become possible to meet the same standards with fewer diodes. (led’s) With the diodes resulting in over 60% of the cost of the lamp, naturally, the fewer the diodes, the more affordable and marketable the product will be.
Since the amperage goes down when voltage goes up, it typically OK to change a lamp to accommodate a 24V bulb as far as the wiring is concerned. However, the 24V bulb will generate more heat and there is the potential the lens or housing designed and tested for the 12V bulb, may not withstand the extra heat.
Combination – Clearance/Marker, for use on 45 degree mounting applications. Light must be visible horizontally, left and right, at a 180 degrees
LEDs are usually rated in “Candella” from the center point of the lamp however, it is important to note that light intensity is not the only factor relative to the FMVSS requirements.
The “Amber” color is a stronger filter and more difficult to penetrate, therefore, it requires more light to meet the recommended specifications.
Yes – some are polarity sensitive! Please contact your Grote Representative for more information.
