Why the price differential between blue and other colours? And why is the white gauge option more expensive?
A simple matter of component cost. Blue LEDs are substantially more expensive than other colours, and white a bit spendier still. Q: Why should I buy your kit? I can get the LEDs from a hobbyist supplier a little cheaper…. A: You could get most of the LEDs, although you’ll find the SMD types are difficult to get hold of in small quantities. (you can find them, but it’s almost guaranteed they’ll be the wrong type – the ones for mobile phones are the WRONG type!) A LED is not necessarily a LED – they vary greatly in emitted wavelength (colour), angle of radiation, mounting style, intensity….. A great deal of trouble has been taken to ensure colour matched, intensity matched, and correct type LEDs for these kits. The leaded type LEDs also have various modifications to lens shapes and lead-forms to firstly make the installation run smoothly, and secondly to concentrate the light output where it needs to be. Much trial and error went into this, so you don’t have to. Finally, the kit is
