Hello -
Before I logged in today I noticed this ad for Sylvania "EcoBright" headlight bulbs :
OSRAM SYLVANIA - EcoBright?

Save Energy – from 9 to 21% wattage savings.

Now, I can't find hard specs on the EcoBright, so I compared it to the Sylvania "SilverStar" bulb :
Sylvania-SilverStar
Code:
SilverStar High Performance Halogen Lumens Watts Color Temp
9006 SilverStar 1000 Max. 60 4000K
From the above, each bulb would use 60 Watts / 12 Volts = 5 Amps.
Soooooo, two normal bulbs would eat 10 Amps, and two EcoBrights would eat 8-9 Amps. I guess that's not much ... but it all adds up
(right?!?!?).
I was thinking that this in addition to an LED refresh of the running lights would be a good XMas present for my car.
