[QUOTE="BigJ, post: 153734, member: 62"] Huh. I think you are on the right track with your math, just off in your decimal places? An easy thing to do because when saying "candela" you're really saying millicandelas. Try this [url=http://led.linear1.org/lumen.wiz]candela (millicandela) to lumen conversion wizard[/url] or this [url]http://www.ledrise.com/shop_content.php?coID=17[/url] For the purposes of our discussion, you can let 1 candlepower = 1 candela. If I plug in your lights, and assume they were measured at the best possible angle of 360deg, I get a total of 13800 lumens. That's a much more reasonable number, no? [/QUOTE]
