I'm about to swap out my current VLEDS setup but had a question:

What would be brighter?

24 SMD LED Board

OR

15 SMD 5050 LED Board?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/15-5050-SMD-...ht_1811wt_1396

This is for my front domes. I already have my decision set for the rear domes.

I'm looking for the brightest output possible...

I know you'll see the LED board and the LEDs behind the dome cover, but I don't really care.
Not many people look up at the domes when they enter a car.
Heck, I don't think I EVER look up at my domes on my daily commute, so being able to see the LED board does not bother me

Cheers!

15 smd pcb is going to be brighter of the 2. In the description it claims that they are 3- chip led's. It's the brightest and the newest edition of smd's. It will definately be bright.

Let me know how you like it! I went with 2watt series from vled. It's extremely bright but very expensive

Will do

The only reason why I'm avoiding VLEDs at all cost is because it's like $30 to ship to Canada.

That's more than the price of the products I bought from them.

It also takes 2 and a half weeks to arrive, whereas when I buy from an Ebay seller that ships via USPS First Class International, it gets here in ONE week, and costs like 2-10 dollars (depends on what you buy and who you buy from) to ship to Canada.

It DOES NOT make sense.
You'd expect the more expensive method to be the one that arrives in a week.

5050 LED's are brighter but i'd shy away from eBay from bad personal experiences, warranties mainly

I'm pretty confident when I buy ebay now haha

I'm not worried about the replacement cost.

I can buy another 2 LEDs on ebay with the $20 I save on shipping.
