I'm going to be finishing my bike VERY SOON. I want to finally get an LED headlight to replace the 55w halogen I have. I am looking at two on eBay (and they are probably by the same maker), One is 27w and 2000 lumens and the other is 18w and 1000 lumens. But "brighter is better" is not necessarily true in every situation....
Is 1000 lumens bright enough for night street driving? Is 2000 lumens going to be so bright that it ****es off oncoming traffic?
The lights I am looking at are marketed for ATVs.
I have not done any night driving with the light I have, but I want to switch it out for an LED to extend the amount of time I can get out of the battery (That's right, right? Less watts means longer battery life? Science class was a very long time ago)
