For starters, it'll be nowhere near 20 million cp, it'll have the runtime of a beer.

Mod it with a HID kit and it'll much, much more fun

why would you say that ? look at the size of it , plus the cranking amps it has

 

[mvyrmnd]

The candlepower rating of these lights is a bit like the lumen ratings on eBay LED lights - hyperinflated.

You need to look into what candlepower actually is. I don't pretend to understand it fully, but I promise you there's not 20 million of them coming out of that light.

And a 50W bulb running from a 7Ah SLA that's been in storage for a year without being maintained won't run for long. Cold cranking amps have no bearing on runtime.

Says 1,050 lumens; the $75 light in my sigline is 3,500 lumens

it'll have the runtime of a beer.

How long does beer run? And will it run slowly enough that we can catch it?

It's a bit arbitrary, but on a 43°C day (which I've had a week of!) it's about 5 min.

And the fact is, who in the * needs 2 million CP to jump start a car?

IF,(and this is a BIG IF) that battery provided 300 CCA's, the moment you engage the starter with that unit connected, you'd melt the 10 ga or less "cables". But that 7AH will provide nowhere near 300 CCA's. Maybe 40 Amps for a second or two. That light MIGHT put out 200,000 to 300,000 CP, maximum.

Looks a load of cheap tat to me.I bet the mark up on it is well into some nice $$
