NA/NB DanDak.net LED dome light review

I was made aware of DanDak LED lights, https://dandak.net/ , by another forum member and really liked his products and the one that I wanted to get sooner than later was the LED 3rd brake light which I got a custom version but more on that in another thread.

Dan also offers a really nice interior light kit, https://dandak.net/product/mx-5-nb-interior-light-kit/ ,which consist of a center LED light custom made by him with x9 LED's and side LED lights(with x6 LED's) that replace the sun visors.

I personally use my sun visors so the full kit wasn't for me but that center LED light was a welcome addition. I opted for the 5700K option(Dan offers 7 options, ranging from 2700K to 6500K) as it would be the whitest with a slight blue hue like daylight on a clear day.

I placed the order on Jan. 23, 2019 and Dan had it shipped out on the 27th and I received it Feb. 4th which was pretty awesome considering it was coming from Lithuania! Here it is:

As you can tell from the pics it is a well built and has connectors to plug in the two side lights so that is a plug and play affair. Here it is installed so you can get a idea of fitment which is snug but no issues:

I also decided to go ahead and order a clear dome lens which is a Mitsubishi OEM part(#MR951527) that fits the NA/NB dome light(Dan sells this as a add on for about $9.77USD and i paid $13 shipped, lens is only about $5 online but shipping, so should have ordered from Dan).

Mitsubishi clear lens vs OEM tinted lens

Here is the OEM tinted lens with a incandescent bulb(which are normally around 3k):

Now the clear lens with the same incandescent bulb:

Finally the clear lens with DanDak LED dome light(5700K):

As you can see it is a SUBSTANTIAL difference in terms of brightness and light color. For some direct comparison here is a picture with the DanDak LED light and foot well lights with incandescent bulbs(larger version than the dome light):

The DanDak LED dome light pretty much "drowns out" the foot well lights so I just disconnected them until I get some LED bulbs to replace them. I took a picture of the DanDak LED dome light with the OEM tinted lens but in the pic you couldn't actually tell a difference and in person it is slightly dimmer but mostly it changes the look of the light output.

I am really happy with the DanDak LED dome light as it puts out SO MUCH light and for about $16, I don't think you could do better in terms of light output and I always like supporting small businesses. Here are a few pics taken at night(10PM CST) in a parking lot with surrounding lights to show just how bright it is.

This is approx. 100ft away, zoomed in, under a parking lot light(i think it was LED, so it is bright).

I guess this isn't a review without "rating" the product, customer service, etc. so I will rate each category 1 to 5, with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest rating.

Product-5: I really think this is a well built LED unit that has been well thought out, executed and about as bright as one could hope for without needing sunglasses.

Customer Service-5: Dan really provided excellent customer service, shipping quickly, answering emails within 24-48hrs(the former most of the time and keep in mind there is a 8hr time difference) and I think this aspect shouldn't be taken lightly since there is a language barrier to overcome which was a issue on occasion but Dan was patient and friendly despite this.

Overall Experience-5: I really have a lot of respect for entrepreneurs and small business owners especially when it is only a part time endeavor and Dan never once made me feel like I was anything less than his number one priority.

I don't think I am the best at reviews but I hope this helps others make a more informed decision. I welcome any questions or aspects that you might want clarified.
