But the answers given don't say .15A per diode; they say .15A per light (.1A/light for the smaller version). And several of the reviewers also state that these are fine for show but totally inadequate as far as lighting the road. One said he was going to turn them around so they'd light his pickup truck bed since they might be ok for that. Another talked about using them on his daughter's toy 'Power Wheels' car. These lights aren't anything like a real car headlight.
