I'm about to order a bunch of PCBs to substitute overhead lights on my car and some of my friends for something around 3000K and high CRI.

Not only the color temperature is so cold, but usually the spectrum is terrible, and the quality of the light is awful.

I just have to finish choosing the led driver :P






> some of my friends

Lucky friends! Maybe repair shops could offer customized interior lighting as an aftermarket service.


Thing is, when you order a small PCB, the price difference between 1 and 20units is usually negligible, so I'd try to find the light sizes for all my friends cars :D

Truth is, aftermarket lights for cars (typical AliExpress or Amazon stuff) always focus on brightness, but never on quality. It's usual for taxi drivers to have aftermarket lights in the vehicle, so you can find your money or credit card more easily, but the light quality is always terrible. :P
