We briefly touched on this over on the Reverse light to LED thread.
These are the LEDs I was thinking of but I've emailed the seller to find out the Lumens:

NB: These are also available in RED and the seller is awaiting new stock. He will advise me as soon as they become available.

<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">Yes, I thought that. Not good enough for the reversing but I reckon It'll be good for the brake lights.

<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">yes, LEDs react almost instantly. Do you know the lumen specs of these bulbs? For stop lights I would go for LEDs of equivalent brightness, perhaps a bit stronger

<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">This comparison video shows the quicker response of the LED vs standard Incandescent bulbs:

Much more positive.

<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">I like LED brake lights as they react faster than bulbs thereby giving a few milliseconds advance warning to the following driver. At 70MPH that's about 3 metres or more and I'd sooner him touch my bumper rather than plough 3 metres through it!

I'll report further when I get a reply regarding the Lumens from the seller.
