But when you look up the lights you find the same problem - you
have a very difficult time finding power in and lumens out.


Hint: Measuring lumens is messy and expensive. Here's what it took
to verify lumens in 2014:

(I like the lumens/dollar bar graph).

For numbers and beam pattern photos, try:

There are others, but that's what I found in my bookmark collection.
There are also comparisons and tests on YouTube.

Thanks Jeff. These however all appear to be battery powered lights. We were sort of looking for lights that operated on the hub dynamo of 6V 3W or the Globe dynamo of 12V 6W or four times the power.

This is why the hub generator has so little drag.
