Ok, so how did the new lumen pusher go last nite?
In short, Bloody fantastic!!
I was leaving Midvale around sunset last nite, and found the lite to be quite effective in the low lite with all the street lites etc. Once I got a bit further east, and out of traffic and street lites it was very obvious that this light was gunna be pretty good.
On low beam, it lights up the left side very well from the ground up to the cutoff, the right side has a much lower cutoff to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. High beam fills in the areas cutoff on low beam very well with the added benefit of not requiring any more power ( unlike halogens ). The switch from low to high is instantaneous. Add my HID spotties to this mix and the result is WOW!!!!!!!! The headlight seemed to push the lumens a little less down the road than the spotties, but not by much.
At about 21:45 last nite I lost the use of the spotties and did not have time to troubleshoot, so I thought to self, lets see how good this lite is! Well, I cruised at 100 - 110KPH all nite!
The 4300k globes seem to be a good call as well. They don't blind you with the reflections from the roadside signs, and this morning with the sunrise behind me, I really could not tell when the lites stopped being effective and daylite took over!
No pics, as I wanted to test all my other farkles as well and I was very pressed for time. If I remember, I will try and get some this week after work to show the effectiveness of the cutoffs etc.
Now to give the beast a good scrub!!
