SUPER STOKED!!

So I received my non-diffused leds from superbrightleds.com. They're red 5000mcd 15deg 5mm LEDs. THey have a nominal voltage of 2.1V.

I hooked six up in series and wired them to the battery (car was off, so 12V give or take) I'm happy to say that the reflection off the window was too bright to look at (OUCH!), and that's at 2.0V, still got a decimal to work with!.

That was at night however. The real test will be in the daylight, and hopefully I can have a diffusing layer on top of them without losing visibility in the daylight.
