Best Angle for Interior Lights

What would be the best angle for interior lights to get them to brighten the entire interior not just one spot?

Thanks in advance

grab some SMD boards. 15LED SMD boards are very bright and evenly distributed.

i got a bunch off eBay for dirt cheap and they've been solid over the course of 3 years.

I had VLEDS and they were overpriced.
I went on eBay and bought LED boards instead, and they are a lot brighter, and a lot cheaper.

Buy from snb331 on eBay.

They are PURE white, and no hint of blue, unlike many advertised as white.

I have their 15 SMD LEDs in the front and 12 SMD LEDs in the back.

Those are EXACTLY what you want. 194 LED bulbs fit into most spots. The two front domes, the two back domes, the doors (although you may want brighter ones) get them off amazon they come in backs of like 6 for like $4


I have them in my car and love them (the 5 SMD) ones, not to bright but pretty bright. Like if i use at night i can still drive and the when i turn off it doesnt screw up my vision.

Yeah that's exactly what I want not too bright but still enough to see when needed. The vleds are 5$ a pair so not bad price at all. Might get 6k white for all inside domes and blue for the doors.
