You are correct, I meant halogen (must have had HID on the brain), it is the passubio and I used a 25w bulb rather than the 16w. After four bulbs the conclusion was that the battery on those systems (not the one I have in particular) couldn't handle the higher wattage bulbs. Which accounts for the shorter lifespan.
But the wilma 4 is brighter if somewhat diffused by compairson. If you want a lumen compairson the passubio (with a 24w bulb) was putting out around 500 lumens and the wilma puts out around 830.
By the way, I still don't believe you exist. Everyone knows that there is no such thing as TooManyBikes.
