I actually had a light meter ready to use to measure the difference, but it wasn't necessary. The ZEVO 1157 Red Bulb that Bob recommended was significantly brighter than my old ones. I still put the light meter on them, and the ZEVO's numbers were way higher. I don't know whether the scale would be linear or exponential, but it really doesn't matter. Bob's bulbs are better.
Thanks Patrick! I can't believe how fast LED lights have changed. Forget about the past 50 years, just in the last five years! I replaced my florescent bulbs in the garage with plug and play LEDs, Wow! Only down side, a friend of mine saw them and conned me into installing 22 industrial bulbs in his giant garage, way up there on the long ladder. I convinced him to do the ones where you disable the ballast, pretty easy. Unbelievable difference! Cheers, Dennis
