Traditionally, we stuck with watts because A) they were a more simple measure for most people, and B) there is currently no uniform testing method for halogen and HID lights in the biking industry. However, our HIDs do put out about 350 lumens or about the equivalent of about 40 watts of light. Up until this year, the HIDs were our brightest lights, but with the release of the 500 lumen TriNewt, our top dog has passed the torch down. I hope this information is helpful!<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/><BR/>Richie<BR/><BR/><BR/>-----Original Message-----<BR/><BR/>Name: Khal Spencer<BR/><BR/> It would be extremely useful if you would compare the light output on each of your models. You do this for many of your LED lights, but not for HID, etc. Its hard to decide on what I need as a commuter if I have to compare apples to oranges, or have no comparison at all.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.Khalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866897914538110672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955311294411328562.post-79146660538696366072007-09-27T11:33:00.000-06:002007-09-27T11:33:00.000-06:00I use a CygoLite Night Rover.

When I went in to my <A HERF="http://www.rodcycle.com/">favorite bike shop in Seattle</A> this was the only light they carried. "It's the only one you'll need", they said.<BR/><BR/>In a comparison between headlights last year mine tied with Scott's LED thingy. I think mine may light up the road just an eensy bit better since it's got a little less blue in it (blue is harder to see at night). After 7 years of use the switches are getting a little worn, it's probably time to open the thing up and clean the contacts. Worn switches was the #1 complaint I heard from Seattle.<BR/><BR/>REI sells my light with a bigger battery than I have for $94.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06362538022783086545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955311294411328562.post-83202215089752083912007-09-27T08:23:00.000-06:002007-09-27T08:23:00.000-06:00http://tinyurl.com/2huehhhttp://tinyurl.com/2huehhALBERThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886292864081560647noreply@blogger.com
