Light output of "Standard" headlights
« on: October 31, 2013, 04:15:27 PM »
So that I have some point of comparison, what is likely to be the light output of the standard headlights.    When I look at spotties that have an output of 3,000 lumens each, I need something to compare that to.

http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/bulbs/bulb_types/bulb_types.html this gives  per bulboutput. Beam pattern also matters a lot (reach and spread)

I put in +50 h4 narvas, and they put out a decent light with a better pattern then the HIDs I was using
