The New Hotness

Perhaps there’s something to redundancy after all:

The four light fixtures serve as both tail lights and brake lights. This was at an intersection, we were both stopped for the traffic signal, and all those LEDs should have been glowing brightly.

AFAICT, each light fixture has 20 LEDs with a third to a half either dead or dying.

I wonder if those are replacement fixtures, installed on the promise they’d last forever, when the original incandescent bulbs burned out …
