Cateye says that their HL EL510 LED light produces 1200 candlepower with one LED. According to slovid's lumen/watt calculations that means that the LED is at anywhere from 36 to 60 watts. Is this possible? I don't know anything about wattage for LEDs.

Speaking of cateye lights, which light do they produce (non rechargable) is the best. I mean like I've heard that the HL500II is great and stuff, but I mean what is the BEST. I don't care about weight but rather just the amount of light that it puts out (to see and be seen).

I was thinking perhaps the best would be the HL EL520. Is this true?

Thanks
