Ouch, see what happens when you post before the coffee is ready? ONE millisecond is .001, but of course you mentioned 400ms, which is indeed .4 seconds. I stand corrected. [banghead]

Now I’m a skeptic (some would say Cynic) and data from tests performed by advocates of anything tend to overstate the case. Given my years of driving experience, and the rather lackadaisical attention of the typical driver, I find that the speed advantage of LEDs is lost by the slow reaction of said driver. Seeing, and doing, are quite separate processes. [swg]

However, I will fold under the huge evidence provided, and will now agree that Tamiya, in the interest of shortening the time wasted by the modeler to wait for incandescent lights to power up, have elected to use LEDs on their workstand.

Myself? I’ll stick to my round plywood blank mounted on a cheap turntable. [:P]

LOL[(-D], I wasn’t even trying to prove that Tamiya used them for that reason. I was even more offtopic than that [:-,] My point was just an aside about brakes, completely irrelevant to the work stand! [:)] I’d have to [#ditto] what you said about the plywood plank. We don’t need no stinkin’ fancy lights. [:)] This time, usmc1371, I swear, you can have your thread back. [;)]

I got the Tamiya Work Stand and I’ll say the LED light has not sped up my modelling [:D]
