I can't find anyone even claiming to use a 500lm red LED element (or combination of elements,) not even the Chinese knock-off lamps. I don't think there's a single-LED tail light out there rated above 150lm.
Nah, he's incorrect.
I can't post links due to post count but you can Google "500 lumen rear light" and find the Australian Niteflux Red Zone 8 and the C&B Seen City Slicker 500 lumen rear .
