I actually have a couple of those in clear with the exnon bulb. Extremely effective at night for all round visibility but not so much during the daytime. Much as I hate to say it - the new super right LEDs have this beat in both performance and run time.

My 'evaluation' doesn't involve measuring lumens or lux. I simply set up a stand with a variety of flashing lights on it and video the goodies using an older camera with auto ISO. The camera adjusts to the most powerful light source and the others are obviously dimmer as a consequence.
