    Hi guys. I am looking into getting my front turns a bit more visible. Looking at Vleds V6 Triton Amber (700 Lumen) and Extreme Amber (1400 Lumen).
    https://www.vleds.com/shop-application/turn-signals-front/7440.html

    Owning 1000 lumen mtb helmet light I know that thing just fries incoming traffic. Not sure how Extremes light output is directed and if it isn't too much.

    Does anybody know the light output of stock lights or runs 700 and 1400 lumen versions and can compare?

    Thank you.

    That is a good insight, thank you Andrew. I will look into that.

    Keep in mind that unless stated, those numbers are raw led lumens. Out the front lumens drop with lenses and heat, not unusual to see a 30% drop in lumens or even more (40-50%) for bulbs that disperse the light using optics.

    still, even the 700 lumens is going to be noticeably brighter, and a much more color saturated light output than stock. I have the earlier version of these, and am happy with them.

    Yes, I agree. I have a set of the V6 triton, plenty bright.
