2015 LED specs
Does anyone know the lumen output of the 2015 LEDs?
I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a new set of driving lights and have to make up my mind:
Squadron Pro
4900 lumens, 40w 3.33A, Flush mount square, $239ea
Squadron Sport
2260 lumens, 20w 1.4A, Flush mount square, $130ea
I also have a set of XL80s installed, but they are stunningly bright and unsuitable for use on earth.
XL80
9500 lumens, 80w 5.8A, BD custom F150 pocket mount, $400
Those figures are for each unit(2 in the set).
If anyone cares, I run the XL80s installed in the fog pockets, off a relay wired setup, via an old school floor(foot) switch. I use them ONLY in the wee hours up north where the moose really are active. They are daylight bright!
Today, I want something to augment the OEM LEDs which I find lacking. They'll be running off the OEM fog circuit, which was freed up by the XLs, so they won't be ON all the time. I'll use discretion, like only late nights on widely divided highways etc. The XL80s are just too much to take (even) that chance.
The BD units are basically the same across each model line. The difference is in the lenses which focus the light. The lenses are user changeable too. I'm running the driving lens, which is 2 wide LED patterns and 2 spot LED patterns. There are others including amber selections. You can swap them out for about $40 (I think).
Thanks,
