I want to wash my NSX…

After washing the owner’s NSX, took it out for a short drive to dry the hidden areas.
As always, interesting feeling driving the EPS rack in manual steering mode as I already removed the EPS controller.

It was raining heavily from time to time yesterday so couldn’t wash my NSX.
Yellow clean NSX under the LED ceiling light looks so nice.

    Hi Kaz, Do you have any info on your LED strip lights please?

    Hi, NSXGB.
    They are from Auraglow.

    As I never used their products before, I initially bought just one 600mm LED tube for the kitchen downlight. At that time, if buying just one tube, it was cheaper to buy it through Amazon than going direct to Auraglow because of the delivery charge.
    As it was just a trial, I didn't compare it against other companies so not sure whether it was the best choice or not. I just selected based on the numbers of looked like genuine feedback on amazon.

    After some time, I was happy with their quality, beam angle and colour temperature that I went for the T8 1500mm one for the garage.

    They are CE and RoHs certified.

    It was cheaper buying direct through Auraglow than amazon this time as I had to buy lots of them.

    Not sure of the latest products but at that time, LED tube still had some limit in beam angle so you may want trying it first on your existing fitting before committing to full installation. Depending on the design of your fitting, you may not get the ideal beam angle. These days, some of the products will allow you rotating the 'end cap (the 2pin terminal)' to adjust the beam angle so probably not much of problem.

    The colour temperature is like super white so somewhat feels cold appearance if used inside the house to my eyes.

    Please note that unless you bypass your existing ballast, some of the LED tube may not work on your existing fitting and you won’t get the full benefit of going LED. Through the projects of my uni days, fairly simple task for me but please be careful when dealing with UK voltage….
    The price of T8 tube is getting reasonable these days but not sure of T10....

    To help address light angle, on my LED light. I sanded the outside of the clear plastic tube. This effectively frosted the tube and distributed the light further.
