I just brought a second hand break light from a bloke and when i tested it three of the leds have blown. There is about 15 leds in the break light. If i was to use this on my bike will the bike fail a MOT because of this. my dad recons it will. Can anyone please help me. I need to know if i need to get a refund or not. Thanks for looking.
If the seller said it was all ok you should get a refund but according to the MOT Testers Manual only 50% of the LEDS have to work "
"Note: At least 50%
of light sources within a lamp must illuminate"
Failures are :
1. A stop lamp
a. does not illuminate immediately a brake applies
b. emits other than a steady red light
c. that is obscured
d- flickers when tapped lightly by hand
e. remains on when the brake is released.
2. The illumination of the stop lamp is
affected by the operation of another lamp or the horn.
3. A stop lamp
a. missing or so damaged or deteriorated that its function is impaired
b. insecure.
OK then mate thanks alot i should be getting another one of him. I got it for cheap so if only 50% have to work then i might just keep it.
Thanks for helping mate much appreciated
You could replace the LEDs with some 12v led strips like these ones
