This time around, I decided to make use of a stockpile of 10mm standard (bullet-style) LEDs.

The superflux LEDs are great but their slightly larger square footprint compromises the effectiveness of my designs.

For instance, on my dome lamp modules, I stuff 24 standard 5mm LEDs, whereas I can only fit 12 superflux. The latter are more ideal for this application because the light has a much greater viewing angle, but practically speaking, most people prefer the greater intensity of the 24 standard LEDs.

With multi-chip LEDs becoming more available, the style (package) of LED probably won't matter that much. These LEDs make one MEAN dome lamp module.
