Alternative Brightness Comparisons
These comparisons were taken against a house white wall about 25 feet from the bike. The white objects are milk-white jars and are spaced about 6 feet apart. There is one against the white wall. These comparisons give a better representation of the frontal light intensity. The light orange glow on the right wall and on the far wall (tree shadow included) is from the sodium vapor street light off to the left.. The center intensity is overexposed on the white wall for the brighter lights. To go back to the driveway tests.
Starting on the left, the Cateye 5 LED Opticube bike light. The second is the Lowes 1 watt Luxeon LED. The third is the Mini-Mag Madmax Lite (current drain approx 0.4 amp, 1.2 watt) conversion. The forth is the Mini_Mag with the Madmax Plus WO (current drain approx 0.8 amp, 2.4 watts)conversion. The fifth is the MadMax lite and madman plus flashlights combined for 3.6 watts. The last is the 20 watt 'cheap' bikelight.
