ChrisC Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Have you got white rear lenses, or the standard red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Ford Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Look good, but no way are they 80W. If they were, they'd melt your lenses, and your wiring / switches might suffer as well with over 13 amps just for two stoplights.These look very similar for £10 less.

Roger Ford Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 From my link, it's using 16 x Cree XBD emitters. Those are rated (by Cree) for up to 3W. So in theory they could be 48W per bulb.If you have a multimeter and a car battery (and care!) you might want to put the multimeter on it's 10A range, then connect the bulb to the battery via the meter. That will tell you how many amps it's actually using, and by multiplying by 12 you'll get the actual wattage. My guess is that it'll be about 20W - so the same power consumption as a filament bulb but brighter due to the more efficient LEDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNC Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Two points Roger 1 = The lamps you have shown for £10 less are for one lamp not two ! . 2 = I'm not an expert on wattage all I can say is they are a lot brighter than standard they don't get hot and it's what it says on the advertising !!

CycleSi Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 John - please can you give me the part number as I can't enlarge your photo enough to read it.Do you think they'll be as effective with the newer style clear lens?Cheers, CycleSi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNC Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Tony has kindly added a link , And I would think in clear lenses they will be brighter than standard lamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
