read on Wikipedia that
[t]ypically, bulbs of 21 to 27
watts, producing 280 to 570
lumens (22 to 45
mean spherical candlepower) are used for stop, turn, reversing and rear fog lamps, while bulbs of 4 to 10 W, producing 40 to 130
lm (3 to 10 mscp) are used for tail lamps, parking lamps, side marker lamps and side turn signal repeaters.[SUP][

How does the maximum 200 lumens of the new Dinotte Quad Red Taillight, or the top outputs of the previous 140R, 300R and 400R models compare to 280 to 570 lumens from an incandescent automobile tail light? I believe the numbers are not comparable one to one because LED output can be more focused than the incandescent plus reflector combination.
