Diode Dynamics 44mm SML8 LED Bulb Cool White Single
$5.95
Design. The 44mm SML8 LED bulb is a direct replacement for any 44mm-size bulb, commonly found in door lights and trunk lights in many vehicles. Populated with eight 1210-size Epistar SMDs, the SML8 upgrades the factory yellowish incandescent bulb to a more modern LED appearance, while adding more light output than the factory bulb. With its durable metal terminals, it will fit snugly in the socket, and its light weight means it won't vibrate loose over time.

Reliability. Unlike other bulbs on the market, this bulb is built with constant-current circuitry, along with transient suppression. That means this bulb will last for years, not months, with no flickering or failure. And like every Diode Dynamics product, it's backed by an industry-leading three-year replacement warranty.

Brightness. With 36 lumens of true, measured output, the SML8 LED will provideimilar light output to your original 44mm-sized bulb. If you are looking to increase output, we'd recommend checking out our SML9 option! All Diode Dynamics LED lighting is rated with accurate, measured lumen figures, not calculations or guesses. We test the true output in-house, and provide you the real numbers to compare.

Colors. In addition to vibrant colors of blue, red, and amber, the SML8 is available in a cool white 6000K option as well. Whether you want a modern cool white appearance, or a color to show off your unique style, we have the color to fit your need!

Experience. After over a decade in business, Diode Dynamics is the most trusted name in automotive LED lighting. Unlike every other LED distributor, we assemble and engineer products ourselves in the United States, for high quality and fast time-to-market of the newest and brightest LED technologies. We pride ourselves in offering only quality LED products, that will exceed your expectations.

Who is Diode Dynamics?

Diode Dynamics started back in 2006 by Paul McCain. It started as a hobby. And using some parts from Radioshack, he was able to create some LED accent lighting which he sold to some of his friends. 

From then on, the company kept on growing to offer more products and employ more people as they progressed. Today, the company is recognized as one of the most reputable LED light manufacturers in the market offering replacement LEDs, Full LED assemblies, multicolor accents and special unique modules.

From Importers to Manufacturers

During its early days, Diode Dynamics was just rebranding LED lights from overseas, but as they realize, they could create something better. So from then on, they manufacture their own products and have moved into a bigger facility with their design engineer. The company has its own light tunnel to measure beam patterns and various testbeds that ensures that their product is durable to handle whatever weather condition it is subjected to. 

Driven by their passion, Diode Dynamics has become the largest specialty application aftermarket lighting manufacturer in the US.

Stipulations
All schedules are based on the number of days between original purchase date and receipt of RMA information by Diode Dynamics. All warranties are non-transferable. Warranty terms and policies are subject to change without notice.

All warranties, expressed or implied, are void if our warranty claim department determines that there is sufficient evidence of one or more of the following:

For modifications to wiring, electrical components, or connectors, our staff will assist as possible, but is trained to support problems that arise in the course of standard use, without modification. Product instructions and installation guidance should be followed as written.

Replacing lenses on lightbars will void the 3-year limited replacement warranty. However, the 8-year limited warranty will be upheld and in effect. In the case of moisture intrusion, you may be required to open and re-seal the lamp yourself. If issues persist, we may require that the lightbar is returned for repair.
