Thats right Steve, like I said in the thread above, red is the worst colour to see in direct sunlight. | |

Just thinking, you can see by that pic that the mfd cover (pod) casts a big shadow over the mfd display. May be giving a brighter look to the display? | |

They are the same leds as I have in my mfd in pic below. I can do even brighter ones if needed up to 10000mcd in blue although these cost a bit more. | |

I can do you two of these on the bottom row in the pic, if you like. Simply plug straight in, no soldering etc. | |

I've used 5mm leds and ive just soldered them onto the contacts on the pcb. I've drilled 2 holes in the white plastic casing for the other 2. | |

Only 10 degrees, I use a minimum of +/- 30 degrees, usually 6oo mcd brightness but even 300 mcd are plenty bright enough. | |

haven't got the details on me... the viewing angle is only 10 degrees though. Which obviously doesn't help. | |

You should be able to see the blue in sunlight, its usually red that is difficult to see. Do you know what type/rating leds you used, you might have unsuitable ones. | |
