Can this bulb be that efficient?

AlexGT · Feb 24, 2003

Hello guys:

I saw this lamp on the Carley´s website and the output seems very high for the Amps and Watts (90+lumens!)Do these figures sound right to you? If they are right, it would be an interesting bulb for some mods.

Type Xenon
Lamp# 888
Volts 3.6
Amps 0.7
Watts 2.5
CP 7.3(90+lumens?!)

Thnx!
Alex

These specs would only make sense if the spec design life were very short, perhaps 1 hour or less.

It´s rated at 12 hours, so it´s about half the life of a SF, I been with the same SF bulb for more than a year; so I guess it could last long enough for my use.

I would suspect that there is an error in their specs. An email to Carley asking for confirmation of the specs should clear it up.
