I guess I can understand your thinking behind this.....

But I just did this test yesterday on a jobsite (actually before I read your reply). But I was in an abandoned building trying to find my way around. My site contact and myself had the same exact mag light flashlight. But mine had the led bulb conversion. We both saw how much brighter mine was compared to his....we even changed his batteries and it still didn't hold a candle to mine...no pun intended. Lol. I know that a headlight is a little brighter than a maglite flash light (or I HOPE it is....haha), but I think the comparison is definately relevant to your last statement.

But I think I may buy one of these trucklite 's for my Harley a few months down the road and let u guys know how it functions.

Keep those good posts coming! I like seeing what you guys are running...I'm still not 100% on my c10
