There is no way that a single or multisided led can duplicate a filament

So explain how 'alignment' can cause the light to multiple 20 times.
I am truly baffled that the horrible misalignment, as shown in the graph, does not stand out to you.
Look at the spot where the light is brightest in both graphs. Is is 2 degrees higher in the HID graph. Because it was not aligned properly.

Of course misalignment does more than just raise or lower the focal point; it changes the whole beam pattern.
I believe that test was flawed. The lamp should have been realigned before the test.
They did not realign but let the machine spew out worthless data and wave the red flag in anger.
