This has been discussed here before and is fairly obvious, but until now the math didn't really work. Well, now it does. http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp ?number=G19653 $6 for a 12V 900 lumen LED. And thanks to the EBR 1190RX, we know 2000 lumens is the legal DOT limit. So for under $20 in LED's, you have a lot of what you need to cobble together a very bright LED headlight. Yay! I have other projects to finish first, otherwise I'd have some on the way already. |

Wow! Not being familiar with lumens, so with 2 of these side by side looking forward, would there be 1800 lumens? |

Yes. You will need to heat sink them somehow, either a big chunk of aluminum or maybe a fan. |

Bill, That would be an interesting project. A standard H7 bulb puts out around 1500 lumen. It would require 2 of these to get a small gain in output. However with the right reflector and such these would really be neat. |
