I recall hearing that | | N Lifetime(V) | Vrated | ------------------ = | -------- | where N = 12 or 13 Lifetime(Vrated) | V | | |(for V = 0.8 Vrated and N = 12, liftime is 14.55 times longer).
From my notes: If my source material is correct, lighting output varies with the 3.4'th power with voltage change around the rated operating point. Using 12 V and 12.9 V this represents a 28% increase in lumens. Sadly, bulb life reportedly varies similarly but with the 16'th power, which means that the bulbs will only last 1/3 as long as with the original wiring. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
