We need 7 festoon bulbs (SMD LEDs) and 10 wedge bulbs (I use 8 wedge and 2 18 LED panels and they are SMD LEDs)
For the same thing at superbright:
Superbright prices:
7 festoon 2-SMD LED bulbs at $7 a piece = $49
8 Wedge 3-SMD LED bulbs at $3.50 a piece = $28 (If you get their 4 SMD led wedge, it's $12 a piece!!!)
2 12-LED panels at $22 a piece = $44
Total is $121 before shipping for the less brightness wedge bulbs and $189 before shipping for a comparable product of mine!!
Mine is only $100 shipped and is brighter

those LEDs are not SMDs and are not as bright.
Brightness in LEDs, and any bulb for that matter, is based on its beam angle and luminous intensity... Along with doping, etc...
Would you be so kind as to post the mcd ratings as well as the beam angle of the bulbs you sell?

Sorry, but that's bullshit. The package type has little to do with the brightness. You sir must work in marketing somewhere!

I dont work in marketing. And please dont call me a liar or a bullshitter. I am just trying to help people here on the forums. Put one same sized SMD LED bulb next to one same sized LED bulb. For the same size, the SMD should be a bit brighter with the same specs. I dont have any mcd ratings for my SMD LEDs but what I am saying is I have LED panels with 18 LEDs which make sit brighter.

Thank you for the kind response SIR. SMD bulbs are bigger and is somewhat brighter. Viewing angle is 160 degrees. SMDs lasts a bit longer but LEDs do last quite awhile anyway. Whatever u think is BS, I am STILL selling the LED interiors as a package CHEAPER than superbrightleds when you buy all of them at once. That's my point and I am not saying my LEDs are the brightest and best and everyone sucks. Did I? I think the answer is no. Thank you.
