As ke kukui hou loanā ʻōpuʻu ma ka mākeke, ua hana ʻia nā kaʻa hou he nui me nā kukui LED (light-emitting diode). A ke hoʻomaikaʻi nei nā mea hoʻokele he nui i kā lākou halogen a me xenon HID bulbs i mea e makemake ai i nā LED super-blight hou.

ʻO kēia nā pōmaikaʻi nui ʻekolu e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i nā LED.

1. Hoʻoikaika ikaika:

ʻO nā LED nā ʻōpuʻu maikaʻi loa no ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka uila i kahi puka kukui.

Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻokō i kahi kukui ʻālohilohi loa me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ikehu liʻiliʻi ma mua o nā puʻupuʻu halogen a i ʻole xenon HID, maikaʻi loa ia no ke kaiapuni a me ka hoʻonui ʻana i ke ola o kāu pākaukau.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, hoʻohana nā puʻupuʻu LED i ka 40% ka liʻiliʻi o ka ikehu ma mua o ka xenon HID bulbs a ma luna o 60% ka liʻiliʻi o ka ikehu ma mua o nā puʻupuʻu halogen. ʻO ia ke kumu e hiki ai i nā LED ke hoʻemi i kāu ʻauhau kaʻa.

2. Ke ola:

ʻO nā LED ka lōʻihi o ke ola ma waho o nā ʻōpuʻu kaʻa a pau ma ka mākeke.

Hiki iā lākou ke lōʻihi no 11,000–20,000 mau mile a ʻoi aku, ʻo ia hoʻi, e mau paha lākou no ka manawa holoʻokoʻa o kou kaʻa.

3. Hana:

Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā ʻenehana kukui ʻē aʻe, hāʻawi nā ʻōpuʻu LED i ka mana nui loa i ke kuhikuhi o nā kukui kukui.

ʻAe kēia i nā mea hoʻokele e pale i ka hoʻolālā ʻana i nā kukui ma nā kihi kiʻekiʻe, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻaʻole e hoʻolohilohi ʻia nā mea hoʻokele ʻē aʻe.

Nānā:

ʻOiai ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka wela o nā ʻōpuʻu LED ma mua o nā puʻupuʻu halogen a me nā ʻōpala xenon HID, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka wela. No ka hoʻomalu ʻana i kēia, ua hoʻolālā ʻia nā LED me nā mea pā mini a me nā wela wela.

Eia naʻe, uaʻikeʻia kekahi mau mea hana hilinaʻiʻole e hana i nā kukui LED haʻahaʻa me kaʻole o kēia mau hiʻohiʻona a kūʻai aku iā lākou ma nā kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa. ʻAʻole hiki i kēia mau puʻupuʻu ke hoʻokō i ka hoʻoheheʻe wela maikaʻi a hiki ke hāʻule ma muli o ka wela. E hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻoe e kūʻai wale i kāu mau puʻupuʻu mai kahi mea hoʻolako hilinaʻi e kūʻai wale ana i nā ʻōpuʻu kaʻa mainā mea hana hilinaʻi.
