Improved Trunk lighting - Is there demand?

[Andyw2100]

Yes....plenty, I'll have 1000's of the things! I'll post an order link on this thread before sending out a more general newsletter, although I rarely get notified of new posts for some reason.

The subscribed thread notifications are based on the preferences in your settings. But from what I can tell, when you change things in your settings (say from daily notifications to weekly) it only affects the threads you are subscribing to from that point on. If you wanted to change the notification frequency for a thread you had already subscribed to, you'd need to unsubscribe from that particular thread, and then resubscribe to it, so that the new settings could take effect.

So, my advice to you, assuming you want instant notifications from this thread, would be to go to your Settings/General Settings/Messaging & Notification options, and then in the "Default Thread Subscription Mode" drop down box select "Daily, using email." Then be sure to scroll all the way down the page to save the changes. Then come to this thread, and close to the top of the page, just above the first post, select the "Thread Tools" option, unsubscribe from this thread, and then resubscribe to it.

That should get you instant notifications any time someone posts to this thread.

I apologize if any of this was blatantly obvious, as I know you are a very experienced TMC user, but the part about changes not applying to threads we've already subscribed to was less than obvious to me. Once I started describing the procedure I figured I should make it as clear as possible so anyone--even those less experienced with this site than you are, Pete--would also possibly benefit from it.

Thanks again for all you do!

Thanks, I think I was set up correctly, but I toggled the settings just in case. I have a lot of subscribed threads (500+), but most of those are dormant, maybe that's why things are not as reliable as they should be.

This is what it was set to as the default:

It'll be interesting to see if the toggling helps or not. I hope for your sake it does.

If it doesn't, you could try unsubscribing from a bunch of the dormant threads, if they don't mean all that much to you (if someone were to post to them again.) If staying subscribed to even the dormant ones is important to you, you could, conceivably, change your notification default settings to something like weekly, unsubscribe and then resubscribe to all the old ones one by one, and then set the default notification back to instant. This would, of course, be considerably more time consuming than just unsubscribing from the old ones, but it would still allow you to use the Quick Links to see new posts in your subscribed threads.

Want! Not premium interior, so trunk and funk it is.
Can't wait to see before/after pics!

definitely a demand for better lighting. converted my trunk to Blue LED Strips.

white LEDs would be alot brighter, but i like the blue look better.

How are those triggered?

I selected "start with a few" in the poll, but have since switched to a full set when they are available. Looking forward to a lot more light

how to change your vote? i would like to do the same!

There's really no need. Pete used the poll to gauge interest, and decided to move forward with the project. I believe he has already determined the size of his initial order.

just when you open and close the trunk. they are the same lights as the existing premium package lights. i just changed them to strips.

Yep! I'm all set, just need to wrap up the soak testing....

 

[jimtelsa]

nice im all in for a full set

 

[mktruong34]

Same! Very excited for it!

 

[Law&Disorder]

My stick on lights strips in the trunk almost never come on. Put me down for a set if you still have room in the initial order.

Does this mean we're ready for a Costco handoff this weekend?

 

[Stirthepot]

I'll take a full set

Id be game for frunk and trunk set.

Sorry do not mean to steal the thread and I am realy interested in the A.O leds.
The D cars it is the best solution for the Frunk.

Everything you posted after the above --WAS-- trying to steal potential business from Pete with a directly competitive product.

I think you should feel free to start your own thread discussing the product you'd like to bring to market, but I don't think it's appropriate for you to do it in a thread filled with people interested in Pete's product.

Just my opinion, of course.,

I read through my post and added the text because it did not turn out like it was intended.

I have removed my post, since it was not right in this thread.

I am a large supporter of Petes project, and checking his shop regularly to see if he have them in stock.

Have done some testing with the 5630 lights myself and they have a tendency to give spotlight effect, if used with few bulbs in closed dark space.

A tip is to try go make some with as many 3528 or 5050 to disperse the light as much as possible, and warm white for the interior lighting.

The interior is looking better with warm light around 2-3 times as powerful as the original Tesla lights, brighter just do not feel right.

The Trunk and Frunk need to be white to cool white, since the black carpet steals light and makes a warm white light to dark.

Information the original leds from Tesla is 0,2W.

Thanks! That was the right thing to do.
