Well, I'm sure that 2400Lumen output is Combined. So, that means 1200Lumen per bulb. This puts them dimmer than a standard halogen already.
Now, LED's are measured on raw data. This means you should expect to see up to 25% descrease over real world data.
So, 1200 raw Lumens is equivilant to 900-1000Lumens in reality.
Another problem is that LED's are unidirectional, so by having just 2 points of contact inside the reflector housing, you are not expanding the light ouput as efficiently as halogen, so your light output is going to be heavily concentrated in some areas and less in others. You will have a less uniform light pattern.
Moral of the story...They are NOT going to be brighter than your current halogen headlamps!
Please purchase and prove me wrong! I will be the 2nd person to buy after you do so!
