Need super bright back up lights

BRIGHTNESS
410 Lumens

Lumens: BUYER BEWARE! Most sellers just provide "calculated" lumen numbers, based on the maximum potential brightness of the LED chips on the bulb. For example, if a bulb has five 10-lumen chips, they will rate it at 50 lumens. However, this is not accurate, as the design of an LED bulb does not get rid of heat fast enough to run the LEDs at maximum.

These "calculated" lumen ratings are much, much higher than the true, measured light output, so it will look like competitors' bulbs are brighter than ours. This is because Diode Dynamics does not provide inflated "calculated" numbers; we believe it is misleading. We test the actual brightness of the bulbs in our lab, to provide real lumen output measurements. Our measurements are accurate, but they are usually much lower than the misleading "calculated" figures. Please click here to learn more about LED brightness measurement.

Along with that you get what you pay for in some of these cheaper LED's - I have run the cheaper chinese branded LED's along with some Japanese branded LED's and as bright as they were they eventually started to either flicker or some of the SMD's started to fail. But then again not everyone want's to pay 90$ for LED's, it is what it is.

 

Thanks for the info. Can anyone point me to an indepenent evaluation of the XP50s?

 

Ive had the 886 on my 02 for 6 plus years, unless your in reverse for a really long time, i wouldnt worry about the heat.

 

How did yo make sure the metal tabs stay in place?

 

i cut the filament leads with a dremel and bent them over then just pushed it into the bulb socket. No issues on either my 02 or 05. i can take a pic if you would like
