These LED bulbs are an easy-to-fit, direct replacement for existing filament bulbs. They also have a considerably longer lifespan, draw less power, generate less heat and are brighter than standard bulbs!
In addition to all these benefits, they also have a much better vibration resistance as there is no filament to break, as well as a much faster response time.
LED bulbs outperform standard bulbs in every possible way, and for peace of mind, every bulb we sell is backed by our guarantee, having endured rigorous in-house quality tests.
The best place for LED bulbs is ABD.co.uk, and the best time to buy, is now…

A good deal and easy to use website,
Advantages: Easy to use, competitive price and good communications throughout .Happy customer
Bought to replace the original little tungsten type lamps in a motorcycle warning panel lights. struggling to see them in bright daylight especially the Neutral and Turn Indicator. Purchased the equivalent 286 LEDs and whilst not necessarily brighter is a purer whiter illumination which does the trick nicely.......sorted and of course uses next to no power.
Disadvantages: My one and only complaint is that on arrival the wife gave the package a cursory shake and she said it sounds like something is broken within ! I opened it up to find a little cardboard box which itself was adequately packed but the three LEDs where just loose in the cardboard box, no padding what so ever ! I do not know how robust these little LEDs are, mine survived the journey OK but would expect them to be packed with for example just a couple of inches of poly bubble wrap

A good replacement bulb for the factory fitted glass type. All the benefits of LED (low heat, long life etc). Only issue I had in my application of the bulbs in a heater control unit, is that the light is not radial in the same way as a glass bulb. the light is almost spot light like from the LED. This means that in this application it lights up a very specific part of the panel giving off little light to the surrounding area. In other applications this may not be an issue

Needed instrument lights for my old Saab 96. Saw your company online and found what looked like the right ones but was unsure about the size. A quick phone call to a very knowledgable lady put me right. She even "upsold" to LEDs. An asset to your company.
Advantages: Just about everything you could need in the way of bulbs.

I would recommend this company to anyone that's
looking for these types of bulbs,as these products seem
hard to get hold of in any large town or high street.
LED light bulbs are the way to go as they seem to last
for ever and are super bright and colourfull!
they can give your dash board a whole new look at night
and make your dials easy on the eye.
all bulbs I ordered worked and they arrived quickly.

Very good. Direct replacement for standard 1.2W panel bulbs. Much brighter looked at head on - seem to give out less light to sides. Might matter depending on application.

Tricky getting into the holder, the glass bulb slides in better than the plastic base of the LED replacement. Once in the bulbs look great, let's hope I don't have to change them to soon!

An exact replacement for the bulbs with blade connections found around dashboards, they run cool and being LED's will last longer than their bulb equivalents.

Bought a set of these about four years ago and still running well. Great quality for a small amount of a money. This new blue-color is a bit different(deeper blue) than the older blue-color.
