Tungston Halogen Lights

[Wacky]

Has anyone tried these, or can give any advice?

Very bright, burn very hot and draw a good amount of current..

Agree with above post. Makes a nice hand warmer

I just tried out a set of Grote LED Triallants(sp?). Very bright, low amps. High $$$$'s

 

[Wacky]

That is what I was afraid of. I am trying to find a light that is bright w/ low current draw. I like the Grote idea, but like everyone says $$$. I found some HIDs for 135 each, but only 90 day warr. I will continue to search for price deals. LED seems to be just as high as last year. I hoped to see price drops but no such luck yet.

The Trillants i have are $100+/-. W/lifetime warranty.

The ones I have been around don't last.
High heat + vibration = short life.

They aren't the Trilliants, but how about these, .6 amps:

How well do the LEDs hold up to abuse?

 

[Treemonkey1000]

I would think they hold up better as they don't have the heat cycling or a filament to cause as many issues. The main problem would be poor solder connections for the LEDs and driving circuit.

I think your GC has a 40 amp alternator. That'll run a bunch of Halogens... Why are you so concerned about the current draw?

Those work ok, but the Trilliant's are quite a bit brighter. Plus they have a lifetime warranty. And only $12 or $15 more. I would go high end, or back to a tractor bulb for $15. Just my thoughts.

Is there any documentation for the lumen output?
