I installed them side by side in the boat light fixture and to my eye they are the same light output as the 1142 incandescent bulbs. I thought about complaining to the seller about the lumens.
I decided will use them, but now I am wondering is this the best all the manufacturers have to offer?
They were advertised as 6 watt bulbs and 550 lumens. I know I got the 6 watt version since the picture of the 6 watt version is the kind I recieved. They also dimmed perfectly, (I tested using a car battery charger which has 6 or 12 volt output.)
I measured the current use as 0.1 amp per bulb. Two bulbs measured 0.2 amps.
Please educate me, how can these be 6 watt bulbs, the amps they use don't reflect that.
It does mention 10 to 20 volts, if I run them at 12 to 13 volts, does that mean they won't be putting out the advertised lumens? Most people will of course be using these at 12 -13 volts.
I had been hoping for brighter lights and was going to install a PWM dimmer, but if they are not any brighter than original I see little point to dimming them.
Link to item, all 10 bulbs work and looks like a good design to me.
