Can a 921 led be used as a reverse light bulb?
For an incandescent light source like the 921 housing is designed for, a brighter incandescent light directly equates to more light output our of the reverse light assembly.
Where are the LEDs on a Philips reverse light bulb?
Philips has an interesting inverted design where the only 2 LEDs actually directly face the reflector inside a bucket, so 100% of the light output is bounced off the reflector. I figured these would have the most OEM looking beam pattern by exclusively using the reflector.
Is it possible for an LED light to stop working?
LED lights do not work Current LED light sources and luminaires are very durable and normally last between 15,000 and 50,000 hours. Nevertheless, LED lamps can also break down .
How are reverse light bulbs different from forward facing lights?
Reverse lights have no cut off horizon and emit light in all directions, therefore glare is not an issue like it is for forward facing lighting. I deliberately used bulbs that differed in design to see which bulb design did best. These are the OEM incandescent bulbs.

What happens when you turn off an LED light bulb?
It won’t damage your fitting or bulb, but it can be annoying and will cost you in electricity (albeit a very small amount). After switching to LEDs or when replacing a faulty LED lamp in some cases the LED continues to glow weakly after turning the light switch off.
