I recently compared a 24 w. AE PowerLight (HID) and a "3-million candlepower" VectorLite that uses 2, halogen bulbs (H4 maybe). Based on shining these lights down a wide vacant street, the VL sure seems to put out a lot more light. I can't tell if it has a longer throw (that's for the next test). I don't know what the run times are, but I suspect the AE is longer, and, of course, it's much smaller and lighter.
Based on cost ($300 v. ~$60), why would one buy the HID?
Also, there's the instant-on benefit of an incandescent light.
I'm not down on HIDs, just curious.:huh2:
Thanx.
