That is not true at all.
Jet Lite fire off around 600-700 lumens, brighter than some H.I.D.'s.
Current Cree XR-E, and Seoul's LED generate around 150 lumens per bulb, and this is only situated in a small spot. Minimal and week spill. Halogen is thorough, light about the entire area. Huge difference.
Even the Cygolite's new TritonX will not compare, at 500 lumens.
$350 for the Jet Lite Dual and get about 1200 lumens for an hour and around 700 lumens for 2h
$350 for a spot of 500 lumens for the TritonX.
$350 for TriNewt (Niterider) 486 lumens, only spot becomes useable
Even the Trinewt from Niterider only gets you 480 something lumens and at 3 and a half hours. That is
