Hi everyone,
during the last couple of days I spent my time on the "Eurobike" exhibition and in my free time I stumbled across the stand of Lupine.
lupine
I was attracted by a tiny bike light which looked quite bright. After examining the whole thing it turned out to be a 10 Watt HID from WA basically. So far so good - but then the guy told my that it runs of a 7,2 Volt LiIo (11,2 Ah) akku and that it has a high and a low setting. On high he claimed the light output would be about 970 lumen. As I have been playing around with WA lamps (especially 10 Watt HID) for quite a while I think the one with reflector puts out about 500 lumen and the bare bulb about 580 lumen (correct me if I am mistaken ..). So my question is: can this 970 lumen claim be true - has anyone some experience with overdriving those WA HIDs ?
