How bright is a car light in lumen's?

I think its good that they are continuing to develop lights but I do think they need to concentrate on other things rather than just brightness.

Aye, getting drivers to change down from their bright beams when passing ...ANYTHING in fact, would be a MASSIVE help!!
 
Maybe so. - But there's buggerall emission at them pissy liddle wavelengths down at 2046K where all them candles & lumens is. Co-linear photons s'no problem- it's all them little boggers wandering off to the right dazzling the motoring populace.

Slightly OT...

Radiation symbols on your vehicle are an excellent way of getting more room on the road!

Our drivers have far fewer problems when driving with the symbols on than on the same roads without them

Agreed. Motorists who don't dip their lights are a pain. As for the rest - the problem with internet forums is how easy it is to misunderstand another poster, so if I wasn't clear enough, then sorry about that. :smile:

As for whether or not you agree with the rest of my responses - I think we've discussed this enough for now - agreed?




Agreed.  :cheers:

I am not aware of a maximum limit on car headlights. Some exceed 3000 lumens. And cars have 2 of them.

Yea I know what you mean, some new cars have stupidly bright lights, the Range Rover comes to mind, their headlights are as bright as some cars fog lights...

I have just got 2 900 lumen lights for £17 each (the benefit of having friends in that trade), they are very bright on maximum, but on setting 1 or 2 I could comfortably ride home. The way I have always looked at it, you will be more likely to be stopped by the police for not having lights than ones too bright or ones that flash.
