LED reviews

Ahoy McDuff,

Thanks for reminding me to check new LED offerings.
That new Punisher I referred to is made by Luxster. It's pricey.
I couldn't resist ordering a set last light with their claim of 70 watts per lamp,
100,000 hrs service life and dual ball bearing fan.
I got the H4 9003 used in the e-code headlights.

Unlike some people, I don't believe any claims for Lumens output from from
enthusiastic LED sales liars. I'll compare to what I have and let you know.

The first thing I'll do is check the current draw on high and low beams and hope to find about 5 Amps @ 13.8 V
I'm prepared for creative LED salesmanship though, where they might think its OK
to total the low and high beam readings to come up with 5 amps or 70 watts per lamp. Note the merchants realize there's a dual beam headlight, but they don't
specify power and lumens for high and low beams as you found with the reputable
halogen lamp manufacturers.

Hopefully more RWD guys will try LED's and help find the best offerings.

Cheers, Bill
