Introducing (in beta form) LUX Rings

mds82 · 05-08-2006, 09:27 PM

This is only the Beta version now, Most likely i will have all the details next week. This is my version of Brex, Better, Cheeper and Brighter. Est. price is about $125 shipped to your door. So far i only have white but i am working on a blueish one that will be like hyperwhite pmb.
I cann't compare pictures to the brex kit but i know this is brighter because i know what brex uses and my kit currently produces more light and will produce even more light when i get the final kit complete.
- - NO ERRORS
- - Some of you may think that i am copying Longtran and trying to undermine him, but I'm not. I've talked with Longtran quite a bit about this and he has giving me his approval to sell this, so dont think this is an insult to Long.
- - Below are the prelim pics of my LUX rings(right) vs. PMB Hyperwhite (left). As you can see, the White LUX is MUCH brighter then PMB, but is white and not the blueish tint like PMB.
- - I do want to see who would be interested in this kit so please give me some feedback as to what you think. Better pictures will come as i get all the materials i need to make the final.
- - Also, if anyone wants this kit in other colors ( green, red, deep blue, red-orange, or orange) pleas let me know and i can custom build them.
....................Thats all for now. Feedback time!!!

I am certainly interested, but do have some questions.

1. When on, does it drown out the xenons?

2. Any error messages?

3. Is the unit good enough to withstand being on for a long time (without melting the unit itself)?

I will be first on the block to order one assuming this all checks out...

bavarian19 · 05-08-2006, 09:31 PM

btw, the white looks great... I would prefer white over the blues, but thats just MHO...

longtran · 05-08-2006, 09:31 PM

dude that is some bright stuff...good job.

E90Boy · 05-08-2006, 09:37 PM

Those are so bright! :rocks:

mds82 · 05-08-2006, 09:39 PM

No errrors . WIth Xenon's are they are Still bright. I didnt take a pic and dont want to take the car apart again to show. i did take a pic but it came out bad. They do produce some heat but i have figured it out and it wont be a problem. They are rated at 50,000 hours , which is 5.707 Years

Yes...same questions

Also, is it an easy install?? Warranty?? After sales support??

I will be interested...please put me on the pre-list

NaTuReB0Y · 05-08-2006, 09:45 PM

very interesting.........i like to see a comparison with the Brex set.....

good job!!!

mds82 · 05-08-2006, 09:47 PM

If you installed PMB is it virtually the same, but easier.

i will say, I'm not a business and basically did this for personal satisfaction because i wanted to see if i could do it. If something were to go wrong with the kit i'd have you send it back and i could repair it.

Next week i will ahve more info on how you could get this. I still need to test the blue/white rings and finalize the white alone.

Jason · 05-08-2006, 09:48 PM

Very nice job

T7R_Sky · 05-08-2006, 09:48 PM

DAMN DUDE! Ill get those in a heartbeat if they work out. Ill definetly be number 2 on your list!!!

KL2DC · 05-08-2006, 09:52 PM

sounds like a reasonable install....be interested in whites or hyperwhites...will wait for more pics and developments...please let us know.

KL2DC · 05-08-2006, 10:08 PM

Oh 1 more question...I am guessing your kit is focused on the lighting source, if that is the case does/will your LUX kit work with OEM lens and/or PMB lens or is the kit all-inclusive (includes lens, holder, light unit etc)...

mds82 · 05-08-2006, 10:16 PM

to answer you question.

- It may ot may not work with PMB, but if it does not i think my white/blue LUX will look similar and can replace it.

- the OEM Lens is not needed because all the heat goes to the reat of the unit and not forward. the reason for the OEM Lense is that Halogen bulbs produce heat and light, and the heat is directed forward toward the OEM Lense. my LUX kit does not have that problem and the OEM Lense will not be needed.

- The kit will be all inclusing including instructions.

holy god...the guys on the forums are becoming inventors one after another...awesome stuff...

clutch09 · 05-08-2006, 10:53 PM

Looks great. Would only be worried about heat issues but you say it shouldn't be a problem. 3rd on pre-list

NaTuReB0Y · 05-08-2006, 11:06 PM

LED light source?....since we don't have to worry about heat problem?

please post picture with xenons on.............

SpanX · 05-08-2006, 11:16 PM
