New Osram Hyper builb

[jack]

They are now offering this bulb in an 85/80 watt configuration. Has anyone tried them and are they significantly better than the 70/65's which I think are great?

Thanks.

18% more wattage should equal 18% increase in lumen's but not always..whats the spec sheet say?

I was always under the impression that this was a non-linear function. ie a 60 watt bulb gives off about 2X the light of a 40 watt unit. . . Is this incorrect for auto type headlight bulbs?

Couldn't find any spec's, just wanted to see if anyone had tried them and it it's worth the $.

And are there are heat issues?

I am running a Comagination modulator with the relay kit, so probably no heat issues wiring wise. Plastic wise, I defer to the rest of the Forum.
