Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / March 2007Luxeon map light?
Does anyone make a wired and dash mounted map light for the car with several luxeon LED's in it? Something that puts out some really significant lumens, for example 200 lumens?

Something that puts out some really > significant lumens, for example 200 lumens? A lumen is equal to 1 foot-foot candle falling over a 1 square foot area. FYI, a typical office is 50 to 100 foot candles, so I would think that the glare from 200 lumens would make your night vision so bad that it would take 20 minutes to be able to see in the dark again. I would imagine that 25 to 50 lumens would be more than enough to read by.

I think it was Big Mama Bear <BigMamaBear@No-Spam.noo> who stated: >Could someone please address my original question, without tangents? You get ONE answer and already with the whining? I think that puts the kibosh on anything useful anyone else might have wanted to share -- NOBODY likes a whiner!

I really wouldn't get hung up on the Luxeon name. Luxeon is just one brand of high-power LED (out of three or four) that has happens to have good marketing to the end user.
